Is it weird to think of fictional characters as heroes of yours? Also do you have any of your own you like?

[Still-alive]

Mr Spock

Cause yeah here's a few of my fictional heroes lol

Captain Jean Luc Picard

Tyrion Lannister

Jean Valjean

No its not weird

Yes thats weird

It' kinda weird but who cares?

[CrimsonAngel09]

FYI I love Picard, him and Janeway are my two most favorite Star Trek Captains.

Not at all.

Mine, probably Shepard from Mass Effect.

Specifically female Shepard.

Woman can still fight in high heels and a dress after falling through a fish tank.

Shepard gets shit done, especially since the Council won't do anything to stop the Reapers or Saren.

ME1: The Reapers are coming.

ME2: The Reapers are coming.

ME3: WHAT DID I FUCKING TELL YOU.

My fictional hero.

But that is the goal of some fantasy and sci-fi. To give people hope that we could become better.

[Still-alive]

Well unless its dystopian lol

[RolandCuthbert]

But even the dystopian stuff serves as a warning.

It's better to have fictional heros than real ones, they're less likely to let you down.

[Still-alive]

So true lol. but i do got a couple real ones who can't let me down now because they're dead lol

[goaded]

Thanks for MHO. Please ask @crimsonangel09 who Shepard is. Is it part of the Serenity universe?

[CrimsonAngel09]

Shepard is from the Mass Effect trilogy. You can play a Male or Female Shepard.

[Still-alive]

Its a sci fi video game trilogy by the way lol

[goaded]

@CrimsonAngel09 Very cool, thanks!

[GOLDFISH_smile]

It's like what they're there for. To be ideals and role models. (Not ALL ofc). That's why it's important what & who is represented in fiction (& how they're represented).

[menina]

No, not at all. Sometimes those characters have traits that real people have. So I understand why you feel that they're your heroes.

[zero444440000]

better then admiring real people and develop a bias for them.

[Sparkie460]

I don't have any fictional heros. I don't have any real life heros either. I only have Italian heros or ham and Swiss cheese heros

[Slim57]

Not at all, I think some fictional characters that have been created are merely dreams of what the creator aspires to be
