I like Wolverine, hes a good guy but does it in his own aggressive way...that makes him awesome.
NOTE: Who hated the Origins film say "Aye"

The old-school tragic hero. You know, the ones who have so much crap to deal with, but instead of acting all depressed they deal with it and save the day. Not the "Oedipus" type of tragic hero. Although I do like a capable villain. I like it better when the useless villain does a "Heel Face Turn" and fights against the capable villain.
I too, love deadpool, mostly for that picture.irishdelinquent said:This summarizes my views perfectly
I <3 deadpool.
Superman is my favourite hero, for me, he tends to epitomize everything a hero should be. A villain, none better than Lex smart and capable, if I was in a comic, I'd be him, he's more chaotic Neutral than evil, wanting nothing more than to better superman at all costs. But then there are anti-heros, Seto Kaiba and Deadpool are both awesome characters.
Back to the matter at hand, my favourite hero, is the classic hero.
Anti-heroes are clearly more intriguing but you need a bit of both. You can be cool and brooding if everyone is cool and brooding. You need both the "Superman" kind of hero as well as the "Wolverine" one, just one would be boring. A few shades of gray are good too, kind of like... I don't know, can't come up with an example right now, Iron Man?
As for the villain. A villain that poses a serious threat is superior in every way. It's basically needed to make the plot exciting, somebody needs to be at risk in one way or another so the villain needs to be able to put someone at risk.

ummmm, I didn't mean that as an attack on vegetarians. I meant it as a comparison of classical heroes to modern anti-heroes. And I particularly love Deadpool for his sarcasm and utter hillarity. Methinks you're slightly sensitive about the issue; Not all posts making light of vegetarianism are attacks against it.Maze1125 said:
Considering the massive number of people on the internet (especially on this site) who do actually advocate force feeding vegetarians meat. I don't think it was an over reaction.irishdelinquent said:
It'd be like going back in time 150 years, making a joke about black slavery, and getting surprised when someone gets offended.
Wow...just wow. You compared a dietary choice to the forceful enslavement of thousands of people. You are well within your rights of being offended by the poster, but I was merely explaining the context under which it was posted. I did not post it with the intent to offend, so I apologize if you were offended inadvertently. However, don't compare the "plight" that vegetarians are "suffering" to the black slave trade. The Africans were enslaved, taken hundreds of miles overseas in order to be forced to work for decades for free. Even after that, blacks were treated as second-class citizens (literally, they were denied some human rights). Vegetarians, on the other hand, have made a concious decision to change their dietary habits; a choice that most don't understand, and a choice that some are sick of having crammed down their throats. There seem to be just as many pushy vegetarians telling me not to eat meat, as there are omnivores saying that they want to force-feed meat to vegetarians.Maze1125 said:
Wow, dude, that's some messed up surveying here. What if I don't like either the old-school hero, or the new-school "emo" hero? My favorite kind of hero is the "real person" kind of hero: Harry Dresden, Sousuke Sagara, Mackenzie Calhoun. They're good people, heroes in their own rights, but neither perfect nor "emo".
Not angry and depressed (except at times, and even then it's usually justified), sometimes brooding, sometimes happy, sometimes melancholic, sometimes brilliant, sometimes stupid. You know... Like people are.

He's the creation of the bad guys, so he's akin to Frankenstein's monster sort of hero.Xojins said:
Out of those, the villain that can be caught, I guess.
Deadpool is my favourite comedic comic book fellow. Sylar is a good example of an amusing villain, as well.
I love it when there is a competant villian, and a decent hero. Megatron from Beast Wars is one of my favorite villians. He never revealed his plans, always thought ahead, and had back-up plans for his back-up plans.
I prefer any type of hero, to be honest with you. Mostly the Die Hard kind.
