We idolize superheroes because they take care of major catastrophes and do cool things for justice. Marvel and DC created superheroes because they are a reflection on WWII.
Believing in Heroes is good but after point I think we lost the true meaning of the word "Hero". The ancient writers said that a true Hero can die while achieving something. A true Hero is not perfect and above all not divine. Of course you could say that Batman is not divine but yes he is, he is a millionair, a genious and handsome 6'4" guy, no one is like that. The thing i miss from todays Heros that they to much a dream.
András V Aggre . Most TV heroes lack realism. It's logical that to be called a hero, you'll need to be something more than usual... But it seems like that in TV heroes are "too much" more than usual, more than normal. Maybe that's the reason why kids are more prone to idolize those kind of heroes.
@@Ella795 I believe Disney's Hercules said it best "A true hero isn't measured by the courage or strength but by the strength by his or her heart." This is what heros today are lacking it has nothing to do with realism or logic, in fact I believe shoving too much realism into them is what is wrong. In order to be hero you have to be optimistic or else nobody would believe in you and neither would you believe yourself and only be logical for when it is needed. They aren't suppose to be too realistic as these heros are symbols of hope. Even Batman isn't that logical he does what he does based on an ideal that he truly believes in. Which is why everyone keeps arguing about him not killing or using guns because if he does Batman then fails in his mission.
Does humanity need super heroes? Yes. Does humanity deserve super heroes? No. Imagine being a super hero and having to clean up the messes people keep making again and again and again and again because they simply refuse to learn from their mistakes so they could avoid making those same mistakes again in the future.
Just so you know, the public themselves or someone that represents them even the most controversial where most agree with something logically unjust, have served as great opponents or assistance to villains of some of the greatest heroes of all time in different mediums, one example is Kamen Rider, the original ones specifically.
I typed into TH-cam 'how to cure superhero obsession' and unfortunately this video diddnt help But it has made me realise I can just get fit and get a rope attached to the celling so I can be spidergirl, or at least as close as I can get (Spiderman/girl because I like climing and it looks the easiest and most possible, I still wish I could be shazam or superman though cos they can fly but sadly that's impossible and gliding isn't the same)
I've never been interested in superhero movies because I think it is like wishful thinking. Subconsciously hoping that someone will come and save us from ourselves. There are way too many problems in this world and I don't see us, humanity, taking the necessary steps to solve them. Meanwhile we spend billions of dollars on superhero movies, not only in producing them, but in watching them. Some of that money could have gone to other causes. Of course the same applies to other forms of mass entertainment.
Because We are extremely childish, we are not able and we don't even want to think about what reality really is, so we create all kinds of misconception to keep us living in our imaginary world, thus we have religion, foolish beliefs that distort real beliefs and movies about non-existing Justice and superheroes
"Hero worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom." ~Herbert Spencer
I think this quote is more applicable in the world today.
Good quote and a very pertinent one.

This world needs a hero I'm not saying a Alien or something like Thor or Batman but someone who can go out and clean up the streets
Police u mean?

Right back when Hera was the Goddess and heroes were "transgressive and transformative"-Greek Drama for Modern Audiences

It’s still not bad to worship fictional characters they can help make real world heroes and if not there nothing to be ashamed of

well done good speach
We don't need "Imaginary Heroes", we need "Realistic Education".

The movies make people happy
Idolatry always leads to damnation and perdition.
Who's the host? He's handsome
