Cowards

"The Nazis are the enemy! Wade into them! Spill their blood! Shoot them in the belly! (pauses) Oh, my GOD! I’m so afraid! (sobs) I want my momma!"

- w:c:heroNostalgia Critic dubbing Patton in his Ferngully II review

"All right, I'll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch, guards or no guards, I'll tear them apart. I may not come out alive, but I'm going in there. There's only one thing I want you fellows to do. (Scarecrow & Tin Man: What's that?) Talk me out of it!"

- Cowardly Lion

Cowards are heroes who are more prone to run away from a fight or confrontation or even their own problems, or who pick on those who they know are weaker. Sometimes, these heroes try to face their fears in order to protect their allies and families from harm or even certain death, while other times, it serves as comic relief and can be considered weak in people's eyes (and sometimes other heroes as well). These examples include Courage the Cowardly Lion, The Cowardly Lion, SpongeBob SquarePants, Chuckie Finster, Scooby-Doo plus Shaggy Rogers, and Gumball Watterson.
