Can Fiction Meaningfully Depict Bravery?
What's this? A philosophical face reveal? Apologies for this video coming out so late...had issues with corrupted video/audio so this is not up to the standard I'd normally want. Hopefully the next one is better.
Still, I hope you enjoy this philosophical exploration of bravery in media!

    I feel Smallville got Alot right about superman in my personal opinion especially in the last few seasons( mainly season 10 and season 8) in season 10 "Booster" Clark tries to humble pompous Time traveler booster Gold by telling him "The suit doesn't make the hero it's in the decisions he makes and the reasons that he makes them." Which kinda highlights the fact in my eyes is Clark Kent is the real hero Kal-El may be the birth name of Superman but Clark kent is the man behind the suit. Will he save everyone? Hell no and he accepts that he can't but that doesn't mean he shouldn't keep trying and being that person that people look up to to be inspired by. Also When Hawkman talks about neitche( even though nietche is a nihilist) nietche believed in Ubermensch as a person who overcomes the "accepted changes in Morality" of their time. And hawkman interprets it as accepting the life he/she is given and strives to make it better" and (in my opinion) show others how to make their lives better because The way to make lives better is never Easy.

    Honestly when you consider it, Two Face’s life sucks. He used to be a well respected Attorney with friends and a beautiful girl who loved him a lot, he was also greatly admired as a man of the people. Despite Gotham’s problem, he cared about others and wanted to chance the city for the better. Everybody loved him. But behind all of that laid a dark side Harvey was beyond ashamed to embrace after he suffered a lot of abuse from his father, who decided how to punish him just by a flip of his coin, which later inherited. When Harvey became Two Face, his whole life took a very a nasty and turn. After that, every decision he made (wheather someone lives or dies, whether to go to bathroom or even make any independent decisions without flipping his coin). When you put Harvey’s guilt over his actions and his other half’s massive violent obsession and aggressive impulses combined with his a thirst for power as well getting even with those he hates. The fact that half of his body is badly damaged physical, you could also a lot of decay as well suffering pain whenever something touches the scared side or when the scared side of his body touches something, it’s hurts a lot. Two-Face’s life is basically a living hell. Harvey wants his old happy life back, while his other self just wants to stay and do what he acts upon, even leading sides of the same arguing with themselves constantly. Honestly this is a fate worse than death. To sum it up, Harvey is in hell and part of him knows, while the other can’t bring himself to admit it.

    On top of all the factors you mentioned, it also bears mentioning that unlike most other characters, every Daredevil adaptation we've gotten *is* Daredevil. We've not gotten any weird takes in movies or shows, they've all been extremely faithful to the character, even that not so great movie years back still got the core of the character right

  • @VidoeGamesForEver

    He strikes me as one of the most nuanced, captivating, and well-developed fictional characters. First of all, he is blind, and because of this, he has the ability to see, comprehend, and assist others as well as the environment around him. He feels that God has given him this talent so that he might assist others. He’s a Catholic. Matt Murdock believes in and worships the Christian god in a universe where there are Norse gods of thunder and Egyptian deity avatars. His approach to trying to rehabilitate himself and others is influenced by his Catholic faith, but he also feels a great deal of guilt for posing as the devil and severely punishing people. He doesn't stop, though. As Daredevil, he sins every night, but in his eyes, he is also doing what God wants. And lastly, he's an attorney. He has faith in the rule of law and fairness. He devotes his time to defending the defenseless and locking up the guilty so that they can: 1. prevent harm to others; and 2. have an opportunity to repent and find atonement for their sins. I don't think any character has as much depth, opposing desires and anxieties, and a wonderful balance between being a vigilante by night and helping others by day as Dareveil. Despite never knowing his mother, losing his sight at a young age, and losing his father to crime, the Man Without Fear defends Hells Kitchen. No matter what life throws at him, Matt Murdock will always get back up as long as people need aid. He is an inspiration to those with disabilities and to people with and without faith. In my opinion, no character has as much complexity, opposing desires and anxieties, and an amazing balance of personality. A hero who uses billy clubs and a variety of other martial arts in addition to boxing deserves special recognition for having such a great and distinctive superhero fighting style.

    I've frequently noticed this trope, and it likely originates in fanfiction. Fan-made stories tend to assassinate and undermine existing characters, often to elevate the author's preferred character or an original one. I find it frustrating, especially now that I see it in professionally made stories. Every character is vital and none should be written poorly to prop up another.

    @tayojones9460 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    When I think of character assassinations I think of Spider-man. The damage Marvel writers have done to Peter Parker is just shameful. As far as the Zuko heel turn, you need to understand that there is still a small part of Zuko that wants the approval and love of his dad. Despite everything Azula has done there is a small part of him that still wants to make his dad proud and the point of his heel turn was that he still needed to sort himself out. The beach episode was made to finally force Zuko to confront his problems and it leads to him finally joining Team Avatar Was the idea executed well? Perhaps not but the intention was good. I would probably call it a slight writing misfire but not completely bad. I can understand why you would dislike it but keep.mind not everyone takes writing as seriously as you. That does not make them ignorant.

    • @AuthorsAnvil
      @AuthorsAnvil 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the comment, in response to what you've said: So I absolutely understand that there is still a small part of him that wants his father's approval, however I would argue that by the end of Book 2 it is just that: a small part of him. Every other part of him, however, was firmly put on this redemptive arc as shown by his actions with freeing Appa, going on that date with the Ba Sing Se chick, having that heart-to-heart with Katara in the cave, and also fighting alongside team Avatar previously in the season to take down Azula. I think my two biggest gripes with his heel turn is firstly his complete betrayal of Uncle Iroh - the man who by all accounts has replaced his Father figure and who has shown him nothing but love and hope. The second being that the person who got him to betray everyone was Azula - the person in his life who he hates the most and has lied to him repeatedly throughout the season. These gripes could've been fixed or at least made a lot better if maybe Zuko was tricked into betraying Iroh by anyone other than Azula. Or perhaps Azula could've hypnotized him using the Ba Sing Se conditioning shenanigans? Regardless, thanks again for the view and comment!

    I’m a devout Catholic, and one time while studying my religion I came across a story about gargoyles. Gargoyles are interesting, because why would the Catholic church use demonic-looking figures to decorate their places of worship. I found the reason was to ward off demons. The demons would look at the gargoyles as mirrors, or reminders of their appearance, which would remind them of their eternal damnation, thus cause them so much pain and anguish that they would flee, not being able to bear their reality. I believe Daredevil dresses as a devil for the same reason. He makes himself appear as a demon to scare demons(criminals).

    What these stories need to do is take what Star Wars under George Lucas did and after the Prequels were made, make stuff like The Clone Wars, the Comic Books and Graphic Novels, let people make adaptations of their Superheroes. Just chill out and relax in between the big fights, not everything needs to be this great big important life or death moment in a person's life, sometimes some people just gotta shovel snow off of their car after fighting a Snow Themed villain with their family and friends. Sometimes, after a major city has been attacked, heroes just want to go back and check in with the people who were hurt in the aftermath. Sometimes, it doesn't even have to be all about the big major superheroes. Sometimes, little people can have stories to tell and have a right to have them told the same as the heavy hitters and recognizable names. People don't like superhero stories because of any formula or because they appeal to a wide audience or some other superficial aspect, or at least, those aren't the people who stick around and keep paying your bills the most and let you have your rich cars and fancy get-aways for the rich CEOs and for the working class folk who are busting their butts off just trying to keep bread on the table. The thing that gets in the money are the stories that were made and the fact we get to see the characters on screen do things on screen that we came to see. We came to see Tony Stark be the anti weapons dealer, smart-ass cynic with a heart of gold (well, technically Vibramium, but details). We came to see the Guardians of the Galaxy BE the Guardians of the Galaxy James Gunn made us respect. We came to see Scott Lang be committing heists as Ant-Man and have silly, funny banter with the rest of the cast. Hell, I even liked the funny 3 guys be the Funny 3 Guys. We came to see Captain America and his platonic bro relationship with Bucky, we came to see Bruce Banner and Hulk be the Bruce Banner and Hulk we wanted to see, the ones that we were told we were GOING to see. And sometimes, when you've seen these characters at their most tense moments, you kind of want to unwind with something that isn't so tense and serious. Sometimes, you just want to calm down with some down to Earth things mixed with a Superhero filter layered over it. Now, if Marvel had done everything perfectly and not done everything they did, particularly at the deadlines and Budget Cuts of the House of Mouse and their greediest leaders, we wouldn't be having Super Hero fatigue, but we do, and now Marvel is going to have to pay the price for every single failure they've ever committed. Not even Robbie Downie Jr is enough to get me on the same boat with this new phase, not unless core company policies and franchise redirections are taken will I personally come back to the mainstream stuff and instead I'll stick to the fanworks I know and trust.

    Agreed. I miss those little moments when the hero has to deal with real life, such as his girlfriend dying from an incurable disease and the irony is that even with his super science, it could kill her and make it worse. The key is to avoid melodrama, and just make drama, but always the key is balance and character moments. Its the person in the suit that makes them super. Not the powers, its character. My rule is character is key!

    Marvel had two massive flops out of 30+ movies and that now means that super hero movies barely make a profit? 😂😂😂 Trash blockbusters are barely making a profit, its not just super hero movies and it's not really Marvel outside of Quantumania and the Marvels.

    Paste Pot Pete is Marvel's most adhesive character.

    i hated daredevil as a kid and found him boring, as an adult i love him for exactly the same reasons i didn't like him: he's comic's most mature, well written character, as opposed to spider-man whos is marvel's most shallow character once you grow up and realise what hes for.
