Which Fictional character/ story influenced you the most?

[DopeTurtle]

It can be from a movie/ film/ tv/ book, etc.

Name any character that impacted you the most in a positive way, I like hearing all of your wonderful opinions and stories.

For me : It’s Captain America because I relate to being the underdog that knows how to stand up for what’s right and fair to everyone.

“the strong man who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows... compassion”

Your turn !!

It is a Itaewon Class (kdrama), the lead male character who chased his dreams so much and never give up. He stands against someone with more power and money. It is amazing underdog story. Also the female lead and supporting characters were so amazing too. It makes me not give up on my dreams as well.

Uncle Iroh was a big one for me. He taught a lot of wisdom in the show and seemed to be that kind of character embodiment and I very much want to be like that man when I’m old and gray and fat lol

[DopeTurtle]

Yeah he’s amazing

[ChiTown33]

Superman.

Not only have I been a lifelong fan of him. But like him "I fight for truth, justice, and the American way". I just do it without superpowers.😂

"The Power" by Naomi Alderman. It forever made me change my life and think about women living in our world differently. This is because, in this novel, the world suddenly changes with women becoming the dominant sex. It forces the male reader to imagine what it is like living in that world and realizing that this is what many women go through today in our world.

This alleged quote from Margaret Atwood is pretty good:

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”

In "The Power", that quote is essentially reversed.

And I swear by the spirits of my parents to avenge their deaths by spending the rest of my life warring on all criminals.

The Matrix movie is a sci-fi action movie on the surface but contains themes that continue to fascinate me to this day.

The characters play their part but it's more the setting: living life in a simulation populated by essentially NPC's that are hopelessly married to a system of control and that are expendable if needed by agents of the controlling interests.

It's just a movie. But it sure would explain a lot...

Wolverine. I consider myself the modern version. My healing factor is internal.

[DopeTurtle]

Excellent choice, he’s badass but has a code

[Sabretooth]

Agreed. I admire how he never gave up... You can have Logan, though... Pure garbage.

Maybe Celes Chere. the girl was genetically experimented on and engineered to be a killer, but learns the truth and joins the "good guys".

Also, she tanked a direct hit from the Warring Triad and got back up.

Robinson Crusoe. I always liked his self-reliance, organizational skills and drive to learn more to improve his situation (farming, building, cooking...).

Mark Hunter

musashi miyamoto

Suburu

[Unit1]

The Joker.

He's a villain but his philosophy certainly makes a lot of sense.

[OddBeMe]

The rapists in Marquis De Sade’s novels. Just kidding.

He does have an interesting thesis in those works, like Justine. And it’s not sadism.
