Everybody Needs a Hero

"We need a hero, couragous sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero, people line up for 'em, cheer for them, scream their names, and years later tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who told them to hold on a second longer. I believe theres a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble. And finally gets us to die with pride. Even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want most, even our dreams"

- -Aunt May's Advice

Just like what the quote above says, everybody does need a hero who they can look up to and always respect as their hero.

This concept usually happens in a movie to which it is about their origins and what made them into heroes or in a series first episode in which began their path towards heroism.

The setting usually is where criminal activity is prominent, the innocents are often being the victims of these crimes and the police are doing everything they can to stop them but to no avail or just an ordinary scene in which becomes an event that sets the direction of the story.

Heroes have various origins and such as getting superpowers, ordinary people who end up being caught in a situation which it permanently changes their fate, meeting a special person who begins the protagonist journey to heroism, ordinary people who became heroes due to the loss of someone they held so dear, heroes who were treated as freaks and outcasts to which through the help of a caring few have managed to give them a reason to be a hero, or going on an adventure which usually means that the hero in which they are to bring peace to the world.

Regardless of whatever origin as a hero or heroine continues on their path towards heroism, people eventually start to acknowledge them with respect and recognition as they continue to fight against evil-doers through their couragous acts.

Later at the end of the movie after defeating the main villain or as the series starts and continues, the main protagonist finally realize that their true purpose is to protect the city/world and always dedicate themselves to saving the lives of innocent people as well as fight against villainy no matter how hard it is.

Here's why the heroes doing this for the people...
 * by protecting them from random villains, etc.
 * protecting the people he/she loves
 * to avenge the loss of their loved ones
 * to follow in the footsteps of someone else they have admired
 * to punish criminals and other villains to which is not possible for police officers to do or to do so in their own way outdside the law
 * realize that they were true heroes along
 * realize that the city needs them since they lost hope
 * realize that they'll use their powers only for good, not evil
 * realize that why they got powers to begin with like Superman
 * realize that they are the chosen one and must bring peace to the world

Trivia

 * Sometimes the redeemed villains save the day too like The Grinch, Megamind, Vegeta, etc.


 * Half of the anti-hero don't care if they were heroes or not, but decide to be something whatever they choose.


 * Most of the heroes only did it because they don't want to, but did it to show the people that they don't need to lose hope or never give up by believing themselves like the heroes did.
