Your Top 4 Favorite Heroes

Okay, top 4... That's a difficult decision.

VEGETA (Dragonball Universe)


I'm following the Dragonball series since my childhood and Vegeta was always my favorite character. His journey from a cold-blooded and gruesome villain to a "for his family caring" and proud (anti) hero is just great!


LUKE SKYWALKER (Star Wars)


Luke is THE definition of "the hero's journey". An insecure and lonely farmboy becomes a sparkling hero with alot of friends and allies. Every kid should look up to Luke.


SPIDER-MAN (Marvel Universe)


"With great power comes great responsibility." Peter Parker is an ordinary boy who struggles with his life like we all do. He's relatable to everyone.


ELLIE (The Last Of Us)


Ellie is a female character done right. Ellie is a young and cheerful girl thrown in a dark and dangerous world. She makes it easy to relate to her and to her relationship with Joel (the player's character).

 

There is only one who matters.

 

Batman
Luke Skywalker
Spider-Man
Gohan

 

these guys (yep, i'm counting them as one; fight me):


this guy (yes you, nerfherder):


this guy (from les miserables):


and this woman (doesn't have to be from the cocteau version, but i like her just the same):


runner up is this sad lost boy who really really needs to get his [expletive] together:



p.s. i sense a theme here. XD

 

what a great idea for a thread.. and omg how difficult is it to pick 4? lol

not one bit happy that the bucket head above me stole Batman & Joker grrrr !


Ripley has to get in my list..



This movie had me physically sobbing, and i've never been able to watch it again.. but i have to include Andrew Becket from Philadelphia.


and this guy.. on and off the screen.


edit: i took out Luke - as i thought of a movie hero that epitomizes being knocked down and getting back up, and another movie that i'd struggle to watch again.. Murder in the first.
Henry Young - played by Kevin Bacon.

if IX goes the way i hope.. i'll be wanting to ditch one of mine and stick Ben in lol.

 

Great thread! Here we go!

1. Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks



In the original series, he's absolutely indefatigable and full of joy, even when searching into the darkest mysteries. He's the archetypical knight. And he loves coffee. Then Season 3 goes to such interesting places with his character and challenges our conception of the hero. Just one of the best.

2. Hazel from Watership Down



I love this character's journey. He starts as a regular rabbit and turns into a true leader. If you've never read Watership Down, do yourself a favor and dive in.

3. Spider-Man



Unoriginal I know, but I love this character. As a kid, I could relate to the '90's cartoon. As a teenager, I could relate to Ultimate Spider-Man. And now I can relate to the main comics.

4. Odysseus, from The Odyssey



Going classical with this one. Such a great mythic figure, crafty and brilliant, determined and faithful. It's been awhile since I've read this but I need to dive back in.

 

Great call with Boromir! Definitely one of my favorite heroes in LotR- something about his tragic character just really fascinates me. He (and Batman and Luke) would probably all be on my list, but I'll try and shake it up a bit.




1. Haytham Kenway, Assassin's Creed III- less of a "villain that turns hero", and more of an "anti-hero that dies a villain". I really like how the nuance in his character helped.



2. Kratos, God of War (2018)- I never really liked the hack 'n slash and rage of the first GOW games, but Kratos in the new game is such a deep and layered character. I'd give anything to be able to experience this game for the first time again.


3. Arthur Morgan, Red Dead Redemption II- I just started playing this game recently, but I'm already sold on Arthur's character. His gruff demeanor and "hillbilly voice" were really off putting to me at first, but that's all the more impressive in how he's won me over as not just a badass, but a truly well fleshed out character.



4. The Ulthar Cat, my current D&D campaign- Maybe silly to include him on this list, but I'm honestly more invested in his story than most other fictional characters right now. So I just started playing D&D for the first time last year, and the Ulthar Cat is my first ever character. He's a gnome warlock and former failed vigilante (thus why no one knows his real name) with a pretty interesting back story. He's a bit of a psychopath (and SO fun to get into character, especially after a bit of vodka to loosen up) but I'm like actually invested in his story. We had a close call a few months ago with a dragon fight and we all nearly died, which prompted me to start working on other characters, because if I lose The Cat I want to have a worthy replacement for him.

 

Definitely one of my favorite trailers of all time, for sure!

I enjoyed Odyssey well enough, but I would like to see a return to form in the franchise soon, for sure.

 

Now THAT's a cool idea.

I have a lot of them but if I had to choose, well, I'm a Star Wars/DCEU fanboy, so.....


1. The Batman:



I LOVE Kevin Conroy (Batman The Animated Series and the Arkham games) but Ben Affleck gave me everything I've ever wanted in my favourite superhero (it's not for everybody though).

2. Luke Skywalker:



The man. The myth. The legend. Mark Hamill is like, the best person ever. My true hero. (I wish Rian didn't kill him )

3. Obi Wan Kenobi:



A fine addition to my TOP.

4. Superman:



I love Cristopher, but Man of Steel means the whole world to me.

I have to mention Han Solo and Spider-Man (Toby and PS4) by the way. Definetly in the top.

 

Great thread idea!

Here goes...

1. Batman


2. Solid Snake/Naked Snake/Big Boss/Venom Snake




3. Ahsoka Tano



4. Ellie


Edit: Why not a top 5? It ain't fair!

 

Also, can we have more threads like this? Maybe one for favourite villains?

 

Make it!

 

1. Peter Parker/ Spider-Man (respect the hyphen) (Marvel comics)

2. All-Might (My Hero Academia)

3. Batman (DC comics)

4. Quake (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D)

 

1. Boba Fett
2. The Joker
3. Darth Vader
4. Motoko Kusanagi

 

Hard to pick only 4.

Luke Skywalker - Wanted to be him when I was kid. Seen ROTJ first and made me love the character

Thor - If I was a God it would be him and I read mostly Thor comics growing up.

Neo - I loved the first matrix more than the others and had greater impact and pretty relatable in ways, Made me think about things in a different light after the first time I seen it. So much layers.

John McLain - A cop who you wish you could be. He's flawed but balls of steel. Love that movie and his character.

 

Not sure they are known worldwide but here it is ( most from my youth )

Actarus :



Ulysse 31 :



Luke Skywalker :



Geralt de Riv :

TW3 is the best game ever.
