Hey, everyone. I've been wondering lately 'bout all this "the world is gonna end" crap, and started thinking, do we or rather does our environment / planet need sth. like a hero.(and I'm NOT referring to such sci-fi, comic, action and what ever, figures from films, cartoons or anime, and such!) So just wanted to hear out what people with SERIOUS opinions have to say to this topic. And if my question doesn't make much sense or is in the wrong place please let me know and don't come up with any senseless stuff such as "fuck off" or "who cares??" and so on. Anyway, thx in advance ^^

I feel like the world may need a hero but it is very unlikely someone will have the influence and power to step up to the cause, not to mention the moral greatness. I actually don't consider myself christian, but the idea of a messiah like Jesus is one that is farfetched but still possible. We need someone that is a perfect roll model. They may not have had a perfect life, but with their wisdom, they know the RIGHT thing to do.

Well personally I think if we need a hero - and the world looking the way it does at the moment we probably will - it should be somebody who has seen the worst the world has to offer and wants it to change without being violent, if at all possible. I kinda want to see if this person will come along within my life time but I wouldn't count on it. I don't think the world will end anywhere close to this time and I don't it to.

A tricky thing is, though, I feel that 'Heroes' are only truly acknowledged in hindsight, after they are gone or we don't need them any more.

If anything, I'd say the world could use the idea of a hero.

But, I'm not sure the world does need a 'hero', as you say. Why suggest it? Are you saying the world is so messed up that people can't know themselves how to be 'better', or make the world a better place?

>>4 no I don't think that's what we're saying, it's just that a lot of people are doing stupid things lately that it looks like way may need one some day, I don't really think that humanity is quite that snuffed yet.

We do need a hero.
It seems like a lot of people have lost hope and feel like the world is in the dumps... we need someone to motivate us, make us believe things will turn out fine. Then people will fix things by themselves, just by being motivated.
Kinda like FDR, with the Great Depression. Americans were afraid to invest in banks until he started his Fireside Talks and coaxed everyone into not being afraid of investing anymore :D

Someone get me a shield and titanium/Damascus sword. A 10 MM, a hookshot would be great, too. Oh, and if there is a way to use magic, I'd need to know that.

If you don't see any heroes become one yourself.

Of course we do need a hero. And we need him rather quickly.
Especially in countries like mine. In Poland government is more often joking than working. You can be a 'good citizen' in here, but still they're gonna humiliate with that sweet 'fuck you, you mean nothing'.
You'll agree with me that it's all really fucked, won't you?

Not to be cheesy or "that guy" but how can you expect someone or something to stand up and fight if you dont? Just saying that everything has a first, and most things need an example....

the world is fucked

I'm curious as to what you mean by 'Hero'. You mention how people say the world is going to end but i can't really imagine what type of hero you're expecting if not some kind of comic book hero. Are you thinking of some scientist to create a cure for what evers coming if it even is coming?

in this world.. people invent new things because they said that necessity is the mother of invention.. if people needed something.. they just have to build it.. nobody really needs someone who is not real or does not exist..

I don't think the world needs a hero. The world, not only the planet, the society itself need to people be their own heros. I want to be a hero for the rest, and do good things, even when they are little things. Well, I do them.
I think most people are good people, the problem is that the one that do the... things like robbering, murdering and that goes on the news all the time. And they are fewer! We are more!
I have hope in the humanity. It, as one big thing, will grew up, someday.
I'm sorry for the bad english, its not my native language, but I hope you can understand the message.

TO CONEJO : this world is imperfect... thats why its beautiful..
if this world becomes peaceful.. everything that makes the world exciting will be gone...

people need to grow up and come together

We can be the heroes if we try, we just have to be good people and smile :D

The hero's humanity is the one and only our God, if thats "world ending" God will save us, but if we don't have faith in him, we will left behind.

hahahaha ^w^'' I mean "if thats world ending is true" my bad....the deepness breaks out.

This sounds really weird but what America needed was Obama to be assassinated early into his presidency. JFK was exactly the same kind of president that Obama is, he was inspirational, charismatic and a promising aspect of the future. What went different was JFK got assassinated, causing America to pull through with these promises and be once again bonded by what happened. After Obama promised to end the war and such reality struck. One man can not change a country but its population can. That population needs to be binded together by a tragedy. A destructive, evil yet prime example of this is 911. Although 911 was used to inspire hate and fear Obamas death could of bonded a nation in favour of change. We could use a superhero, but we need America to get its shit together more.

Heroes are heroes because they clean the evil of the world in the name of justice. (Code:Breaker) Its dificult to find just one person who can do everything alone.

I don't think we need a hero to be honest. It takes about 20 years for people to change anything, be it government, environmental issues, etc. We're currently in the midst of several changes, and in due time they will come to pass. Humans just naturally suck at thinking about future consequences, the long term affects of things.

yeah and that"s me

we the dollars could be the heroes

>>26 Hey, that sure is a cool idea. Maybe this could go under missions :D

I believe that Ckea needs to further define what type of hero he/she is looking for. But, if your talking about a person who has certain attributes and takes part in bettering this world, then there needs to be multiple people who will help this world. As JILL said, " this world is imperfect... thats why its beautiful..if this world becomes peaceful.. everything that makes the world exciting will be gone... ", I agree with what you said. However, there are many problems in this world and the humanity is not learning from their mistakes, thus just trying to do a little is what makes someone a hero, in my opinion. And, this world will never be perfect ever. Furthermore, the dollars' "go out of our way to bring peace, justice, and prosperity to our respective communities." People make the decision to be heroes or villains. If they make a bad decision, the best thing we can do is try to teach them the act they committed was wrong.

>>27 Um well isn't that what DOLLARS MISSION 2013 is?

The Dollars are the Hero's the world needs.

we are the heros of the world(the dollars)

>>29 Never heard that that's the case.
>>30 & >>31 Says Who??

oh, sry i didn't know...

>>32 & >>34 well it's right there in missions if you want to look it up. I would put the link on, but I am completely and utterly useless so... yeah.

Humanity definitely needs something.... We've fallen to the point where every other story on the news revolves around who's dead, who's been murdered, what these people have done to express their hatred for these other people.. It's horrible. It kills me to look around and realize that I really am the only one who's disturbed by all the war and bloodshed that humanity makes up.

So yes. Humanity needs some sort of hero. I just wish we could find one..

YEAH A HERO WOULD BE GREAT!!! I DO THINK THE WAY THINGS ARE NOW, NOT ONE PERSON CAN BUT DO GOOD. IF WE CAN ALL DO THAT THEN WE AND OUR FRIENDS COULD BE HEROS.

I go along with what TTJJ said. If everyone would do, let's say, five good things for the community on a daily basis, it could be the start...

Yes, people always need a hero, someone we can copy, someone to be a leader and don't care if this hero is good or not...

Because the world isn’t as bad as you think. ~Celty Sturluson
The world is a terrible place, but remember that for every shady information broker there's also a freakishly strong blonde guy in a bartender outfit ready to throw a truck or atm at him. And if we ever got really desperate he could our hero :)

Everybody can be heroes if they make the choice to be...

Everybody can be heroes if they make the choice to be...

>>41 >>42 >>43 i agree

lol that didn't really happened, what a relief

Actually, humanity as of current has thousands of "nameless heroes" around the world. Seeing the world standing strong as it is. I say yes, humanity needs would always need them.

I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night.
He's got to be fast and he's got to be strong and he's got to be fresh from the fight.

well I am hero! hello Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan you rang?

Why say we need a hero or I need a hero instead of trying to be one and i want to be one so i will do it!

>>49 and you actually think that YOU alone would be able to change ANYTHING??

I usually don't agree allot with others, but the idea of TTJJ and AliceMoon could really make a change, and if you morons want to know why i think so, well Tenshi and Generous Genocide already have given a few reasons.

A hero would be nice, clean up some of this crap that are driving all these kids to be spoiled assholes... But it's hard for me to imagine a guy that has that much influence on the world that isn't Hitler. I remember a quote that someone said "a lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is still putting on it's shoes."
That's just me though, I'm just a guy that has little opinion on things in the grand scheme of stuff. People are jerks and will always take after other jerks, because bad choices are considered 'cool' in this day and age.

But I think it would be awesome if the world had a hero! maybe it would restore some missing faith... I know I try to have some good faith and hope in humanity but that doesn't mean I'm going to act like an idiot and pretend that this stuff doesn't exist, because it dose, and it'll get you as soon as you let your guard down it'll get you, and get to you.

But I can't imagine someone so good and so benevolent with such influence that will catch on with such a style that isn't cheesy enough to make people to feel it's hooky and get discouraged like some kind of Opera icon, or even something so morally centered that it makes people seem weak or "Douche" or "lame" so that it's belittled by the tougher things out there and more appealing things out there like some kind of cause or charity iconic figure.

And it doesn't take a scientist to know that if there's someone out there that douse that much good that there's going to be someone out there who will get pissed or jealous and use his own influence to pave his own way against this hero guy because mr.hero is doing something against the plans and visions of this new mr.villaian fellow; it's a fact that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In religions and spirituality, if there is a light, there has to be a dark, no peace without war. And that's just the way things are.

And later on, once these two forces have made there influence on the world they'll start to get followers and extremest people who will be like lesser people to these two guys.

They'll start fighting in these two sides and before you know it we've got a freaking Marvel Comicbook world of heros and villains.

But hey, that's just me. Again, im just a guy know doesn't know much... but it's always good to dream right?

We need a Maximum Ride

don't care what you think #50 and i agree with with #51 but the fact that anybody can make a big change is possible and i will do it no matter what you say! nothing is impossible! But i will still try because i regret doing nothing than actually try and fail! If i become a hero or a hero that use evil against evil, than what? I don't care at least we are making a change or better why we need one hero and we can all be a hero! Dollars as the heroes and heroines in the world!!

>>53 ... pls do the world a favor and SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!

>>52
YOU ARE AWESOME!!

A hero, huh ? Well, why are we talking about only one single person being a hero ? Why not a whole bunch of people ? Or thousands of them ? What if everyone tried to influence the world ? In a positive way, of course. Wouldn't that be much more effective ? The system we're caged in ... Is imperfect. Just like its creators. But we can at least try to improve the state and shape of this era. I can't imagine a single individual, a 'hero', affecting our little world.

before we need a hero,we need a great villian. For more adventures ofcourse. a hero has nothing to do if there is no one to beat or to fight with.right?

The question is an Hero for what I think the world is perfect. As long no one fight's this world will be Normal. The hero is us and everyone so if you need a Hero think of yourself.

i believe EVERYONE can perform heroic actions if given an opportunity, what determines if ur a hero is whether u have the will to rise to the occasion when it truly matters and stand for what is right and just... of course heroism is much more complicated than that, because a hero to one person might be considered a villan to another, but thats the basics of what you'd consider a "hero"

Shouldnt we be,in a way, our OWN hero?I mean its kinda our fault we would be in the crisis in the first place, so shouldnt we take responsibility and fix it on our own? I dont want to sound self-righteous or important but we can fix our the problems we create

We are our own hero, there is no other hero other than you yourself. Heroes you respect or think of are those that inspire you, those that share the same thought as you. Problems created by mankind are our fault, not totally, but because we CAN all make decisions together to reach a desirable situation but choose not to do so. Thus we entrust this 'chore' to someone else, like the government.

Yes, and it'll be me.

of course :'D

Back to the Batcave Alfred. Some more undewear needs washing abd we cant have you dilly dallying while the pile grows.

We all need a hero. And thats that!!!

Humanity is fucked up, and the people in it are even more so. Yes, humanity needs a hero, but to choose a person would be nearly impossible. The corruption caused by giving one person such a responsibility would be too great to risk. Humanity is essentially weak, and finding one person or group to give such a great responsibility would be nearly impossible.

I say that humanity does need one, but it would be next to impossible to find one.

Is life a movie? Do you get to play the cool playing hard-to-get witty heroine or hero? If our environment, destroyed and polluted were to crash down, is one insignificant little dot of a person in seven billion going to somehow find some powers and survive typical slapstick villians? No. Life isn't some enjoyment, dear. If you die, you die and no one cares. They all forget about you soon, and your existence was really meaningless. Hero? It'd be wonderful if we could have one. Realistically? 0.000001% it would happen and succeed. All moments of genius were 99.9% hard work and 0.01% pure chance. Maybe something could happen. I wouldn't know. It shouldn't be possible, though. People are always going to want power and social acceptance, and there are always going to be corrupt people, no matter what utopia you come up with. If we were to have a 'hero' to follow after social media's entertainment ideals of a protagonist, to exclude all playwright script's tense do-or-die luck moments, the hero would have to overcome being 'human.' Not be human anymore. Further evolve into a being of true and utter altruism or become an emotionless unhuman being programmed to only do things for others. Would you die a painful, searing death to save ten others? No. Is there anyone who could forget their own identites and become one with all seven billion? It'd be crazy and ironic. To save humanity, you become inhuman-- not in a bad way, of course. We need one, but it isn't possible, dear.

Cant anyone become a hero these days by just doing the right thing.But sadly people dont know what right or wrong these.

Humans are unfortunately beyond saving. They are to far corrupted and to far gone to save. We cant change them from there greed and hatred that has turned them into what they have become today. so our only options now are to wait for them to destroy this world or for a new species to take over and save it from them.

>>69 You're a pessimistic asshole. People like you are ruining the world.

Heard of something along the lines of, "Smile. The world isn't as bad as you think."?

We are the Dollars. We, who are in the Dollars, not the Dollars themselves, are the heroes. We who do; people like me (not to try to brag, but I have been doing more and more good things and spreading our message) are the so-called saviors of humanity. We will make the world a better place, as we are doing so now.

If you really believe we humans are beyond saving, get your ass outta the Dollars and join some other group, punk. I know I'm stepping my place here by saying this, but, on the behalf of the Dollars, we don't want your kind here. We want people to make the world smile, not give up and live in misery.

Go join the people who wished for the apocalypse to come to save us from our sin. Go wish for The Fall of Man someplace else.

You disgust me.

We can all be considered as "heroes", don't you think? As the Dollars we are making the effort to change people's lives for the better, as long as we do something positive we can be classified as "heroes".

Or is being a "hero" much more specific than that? It's such a vague term loosely used to describe a person and has lost it's true meaning. What do you think, members of the Dollars? What is your definition of a "hero"?

Personally, I don't think the world needs a "hero". All it needs is some good and decent people, doing small acts of kindness that improve the community they live in. I have never really liked the idea of a perfect man. But people who honestly try their best to be a good person...that's what gives me hope for a better future.

There's a hero within everyone of us... it's just our choice whether to keep it locked or not.

The world as a whole would majorly benefit from honest/well-liked/intelligent politicians in office. That would apply to every nation with huge issues only the government has the power and money to fix.

A protector of the city-type person would be pretty neat, but I'm not so sure they would be looked upon well if they used weapons to stop "the bad guys". Assuming no hero has superpowers , the most one could have are combat and parkour skills. It would be very hard for a lone person, even one well trained, to stop a large group of gangsters without a weapon. The police and people would be unlikely to offer their public support.

A superhero wouldn't be as farfetched as one would think, you know...

Technology's come pretty far. Most soldiers wear combination ceramic body armor, so it's basically made of glass. O.o Metal works just as well, or better, but the issue is weight.

These days, however, there are a number of 'powered exosuits' that are practically comercially available, like the HAL 5, which allows the wearer to lift around ten times their normal ability, and has been rented by 130 medical institutions in Japan.

A normal soldier is often expected to carry a hundred pounds, so even with the commonly used technology today, you could equip a soldier with a thousand pounds of armor and weaponry... Think somewhere between Robocop and Iron Man.

Not very practical for the average individual, but maybe one of the Dollars happens to be a vigilante-minded individual in military research and development. Lol =)

>>76 good point.
Anyways, maybe the world doesn't need a hero. maybe it needs heroS.
Its likely a 'hero' could come from a start in the Dollars

>>75
if you're trying to stop a large group of gangsters alone, you'd use a trap, not rush them or something.
IF someone who sees this is planning on stopping a large group of gangsters, post a reply to me on this thread. I can give you many ways to take them down without killing them, if i know some rough info

I think that an individual wouldn't work as a hero, they would be subject to their own shortcomings and inability to solve all the world's problems, I think an idea is much more powerful. If you can get people to all do small things to eat away at the foundation of evil then those problems are not present, people balance each-others weakness. Thats why I think the Dollars is such a great idea.

Personally,I wonder if a modern day Hero is even possible these days. Its like in Fate/Stay Night. Humans just seem to lack the ability or charisma these days.

If anything,the closest we could get would be Zero (Code Geass) or V (V for Vendetta)

They seemed to be the closest thing you could get to a modern hero. Unless some crazy fool with tons of money and a sense of right decides "Hey,lets build ironman,Itll be fun!"

I thought that this is the point Dollars were created? We're supposed to be the modern heroes to another. We might not have superpowers and such but we have each other and that's power :)

While impressive indeed and admirable, I beleive we are talking about a Hero,not a movement. A single person so skilled or charismatic that they become a global gamechanger. The singular person leaving a major mark on history.

Ancient Civilization had quiet a lot of these,one of the easiest to recall as a gamechanger would be Alexander the Great. Also known as Iskandar.

I wish we had a hero.

Then why don't we raise one?

Good point, Praetor Angel

Yeah, it would be pretty cool to actually have a hero with super powers or something like that.

you dont need super powers to be a hero
just some guts and a strong sense of whats right

*bump*

the gent is right

One can only be a hero in this society if the hero dies in the end

i say yes and not all heroes die in the end

but on the other hand i do have to say if any of you become a hero i might become the bad gut cuz bad guys have all the fun and i like villains there funny but if theres no heroes no super villains but i might become a anti-hero like Red X

Everyone can be a hero, just making someone smile in their time of needs makes u one, yeah, humanity does need heroes, but in a more deep way than just super strong guy saving innocents, although that's kool too

yes and he has to fight crime or at least help the homeless

zero's right.

Humanity needs someone strong not to fight crime like those characters from movies but someone who has enough intelligence and resolve to get us read from this corrupted state where the ones with power use those without. The best comparison would be Zero from Code Geass beacouse this is the biggest problem now in the last 10 years there's been more crimes, suicides, depression and it should be obivous why. We need that kind of hero.

if we all act properly according to the society, then will we be heroes! (for the society) all are heroes in our own way we act as we believe that this good, if we do not do anything bad to the other people then we are good!!! such as heroes! :)
not believed ??

I'm with kanra on this one, I believe that we all should act as heroes. Its not right for us to wait on one person, or one to do all the work. we all just need to be kind and lend a helping hand when we can.

I don't think the world needs a hero, i think it needs a villian.
Let me explain:
We only become better, after we've seen the worst. Just one guy, that does horrible stuff, worldwide scale...would be enough for us to get up and do something...cause we only do something when we are cornered. And heroes aren't born, they are made.^^

@samehade, i agree with you that a villain is the actual way to better humanity.
another point, all the greatest innovations throughout history have been in war time, or times of distress. i think we as a species embody the line "only through adversity can you achieve greatness" all we need now is adversity big enough for the whole of humanity to unite behind. eg Zero Requiem (code geass)

>>101 I see your point, but I feel like we already have a lot of enemies. Maybe not as specific people, but like the Dollars, big groups. Deeply believers, psychotic fans and modern companies might be them. Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not a socialist.

Something I haven't seen in the replies (I just gave the whole entry a quick view of the longest) is whether the world is lack of an "antihero" or not.
In my opinion an antihero would be more suitable for this time.

Excuse me, but you've forgotten that we watched Durarara!!
Ever see the cellphone scene? It's that easy! We could change the world if we wanted. All we need is each other. Who says we can't change anything? We don't have to go it a lone and no one has to KNOW who we are in the FIRST PLACE. If we change things around us togther, wouldn't that be good enough?

hey i posted in war and our place in it that i'm starting a organization and after reading post 101 and 102 i could be the villain or antihero but i need support who would be willing to join me is what i'm asking

*This thread as already been created please give credit to the original person who posted it*

>>106 and who? more importantly where is it??

Only by changing ourselves into little "heroes" can we slowly change the world too.

Each one of us need to be our own hero and this world will be much better.

I think there does need to be some changes in the world.... But if I knew of anything that would actually work, I've probably already tried it.
And in conclusion I become like Shizou and I get really angry really easily at certain people just because I've tried to be nice to them for so long, even though I didn't like them.

>>108 I could change the world in other ways. With guns, bullets, and thousands of people.

Rise up and take out communism, and, if the idiot in the oval office messes up too much, the US because the constitution says to rise up if you dislike where the government is going.

Plans are being made.

>>110 Dude, just stop it.

STOP bumping old as shit threads.

//saged

Yes, the world needs heroes.

^

i will be the heroes for my family, friends, girlfriend, and my beloved people in my life... haha so they probably don't need one... cause they have me...

When the world needs heroes we as a gang of peace have to be there....we have to be one of the heroes so that the world will know of our existence...... One day...one day.....one day we will save the world from the sadness humankind have caused and make ourselves known to the world...as we are DOLLARS aren't we?

This world already have too many heroes. What this world needs right now is a monster.

@MisterPepero and you will be the monster ? LOL (JK)

I think that we don't need a hero so much as we need to set aside our differences and out hates and respect each other. There is a lot of bad in the world as well good but we don't have enough good to off set the bad. There is no such thing as a perfect world but there is a better one.

I agree with 117, we need someone to show us to appreciate the goodness we already have, and help the heroes that already exist instead of remaining apathetic and hoping someone else will do the work for us.

First of all, my english is weird. Sorry.
I think we already have some "heroes", I mean nice people that do amazing stuff to help others. They're just not known enough, or appreciated for their value. The problem for me is that our society rarely encourages positive acts.

Phahaha, why? We kill eachother every day, what can a "hero" do anyways?

Perhaps if we all become "heroes"...

If the world needs a hero, we'd have to make him/her/it. I don't feel a hero rising up anytime soon unless we do something. Or we could help ourselves.

it dosen't need one we have to sort out our problems ourselfs


but having one dosen't seem that bad
plus it sounds awsome

If each one of us tries to be more respectful to the enviroment and to other people, the world would be a better place, i think. We don´t have to wait to some "hero"who vanishes all our problems, we need to do it ourselves.

(sorry for my bad english)

We are the heroes! If everyone were to work together to help the environment, each other, ect., I'm sure you could say that the heroes of the world are the people in the world itself. I know some people may agree to disagree, that's a good way to put it. Even as we are now, there are already people who you can consider heroes, just by doing little things, and maybe we don't even need to change. There's a lot of ways it could go and so many different ways to put it, you could say? I'm not really sure how to explain it, there's just a lot of explanations to my point, I guess you could say.

But the concept of needing a hero or not, really depends on personal opinion or bringing the opinions together into one idea! I don't know maybe nobody even understands what I'm even saying! (　ﾟДﾟ)＜!! Whether it be superheroes or just us, there's really no way to tell!

But my own opinion? I'd have to say even I don't really know what I think (After explaining all that nonsense? I'm a loon) But I think just ONE hero, isn't possible. There's nobody who can fix all of the problems in the world with just themselves. Maybe that's what I was trying to say? Haha Boop ( >д<)

hmmm
you're the hero of your life

I think the world needs to unite among its communities- and the leaders of those communities can try to work it out-
that way even conflicts would be more organized

You mean like it is now.

How is one defined as a hero and by whos point of view?

Humanity doesn't need a hero, or an organization that would carry out the same purpose. It's fine as it is.

As it is now no it doesn't...what it does need though is to change into something calmer with less conflict.

Another question. Does the earth really need saving or is it the people living on it that need saving? The planet seems to be doing fine, if we all die it will still be fine and maybe it will develop new life, like a reset button or something of the sort.

why cant we all be heros?? work things out by thinking and doing things as a group. if we could do that then we'd all be heros

Well for humanity to beed a hero then something must endanger humanity so my answer is no not untill somthing endangers humanity herself

>>134 I think that's probably what will happen. Just think the number of animals and insects that have already disapeared, but the scientist are finding new species too. But the Earth is still here. Now the question is how long will we last? That's where we need to save ourselves.
And again, sorry for my english.

humanity is going to get extinct in one way or another so i guess no ,no need for heroes

>>138 Careful with that edge

A hero like Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Muhammad Ali, and so on?
I wouldn't say we NEED a hero like the people mentioned above, because there's always hope in the masses of humanity, but a genuine hero like them would help. They would bring new ideas and solutions to the table which governments could not come up with themselves. They would rally and motivate the public to take action to improve our world and devote their lives to the cause. It would be helpful, but I also believe it's possible that one day, humans could experience a paradigm shift, in where we stop accepting anything less than right, and anything less than good. It is possible, in my opinion.

Heroes shall always be needed, even though they cannot do anything to save the world. A Hero is someone who cares and fights, as long as there are heroes, humanity still has a breath, still has heartbeat, though it be fickle and dying.

Honestly, humanity needs a villain to unite against or face destruction. I feel that that is the only way to unification at this point.

There are a lot of heroes but sadly they are a great minority against the rest of the world. The majority have more selfish thougts and they don´t care about the rest of the world, only about their own profits.

I think that any good person can be a hero the only thing that he need is to have the courage to do the right stuff instead of bad things that damage the others in order to selfish achievments

I'm gonna go cliche and say that we're all heroes. The small good things we do can build up to do good for all. We can't exactly keep relying on other people.. Well, maybe a leader, but not necessarily a hero.

Heros should only be there for situations where life and death are hanging in the balance. Like sitations that require spit moment decision making. Other than that, the common people should protect each other and themselves with numbers and hold similar goals. We should trust in the decency of each other rather than a single hero

Heroes? I think we all are heroes if we think we are. The question is: "What type of heroes do you want to be?"

No, because everyone can be a hero

yes and no
yes because our world is at chaos (just in my point of view)
no because if there are heroes there will be a villain (in my point of view)

no , Human need a villian . strong enemy is needed to become more stronger

Yes & no, human just need a "LIMIT"

Bullsh*t with a Hero. There's no such a thing as hero.
So let me ask you this, can you be a Hero without making the othersa Villain? The answer is absolutely "No, you can't"

Look round. There already hearo's

To pose such a question would mean you want an underlining answer. My personal opinion is that there are thousands of heroes everyday, not the mention of this powerful society.

If there were to be some "hero", that person would have to act like a demon.
As a demon one can play the villain, obviously, and commit the sins of the world so that nobody else needs to.
Also, they need to be enough of a demon to open everyone's eyes. They must channel all the world's hate towards them so that everyone may band together.

Happiness is tougher to spread than fear, and just as much when it comes to channeling it to one spot.

Become the kind of person everyone hates, and in turn multiple groups shall become one in the name of your demise so that there CAN BE an everyone.

Of course. the world has been brought through tough times due to the industrial boom of the countries and the already looming problems that we are being faced with in the weather as it is. Hero's are just trying to help preserve the planet that has given us the land we walk on, the air we breath, the oceans we swim in. It's needed, this world deserves a second chance.

I'm sick and tired from wishful thinking like this. Heroes exist in fairy tales. There is no one man who can change the world alone. People can. Humanity doesn't need a hero, it needs more cooperation, better relevant education, better resource balance.

Or just someone to inspire everybody with something new and fresh. :)

It need heros, people who are more willing to change everything, even flipping the system down. And frankly, this worlds needs to be flip upside down.

Actually what needs to be done is for the world to be taken apart and then to be rebuilt, but let's be realistic nobody wants something like this to happen, the risks are many as well as the big companies so there are not so many peacefull things that can happen.

Not like peace is permament anyway, gotta have chaos in order to have peace.
Ever so often.

>>159 If people still need someone to get inspired by, then the problem is with the people, and not the fact that there's no fairy tale hero appearing to save the world while you sit on your asses daydreaming about it.

>>160 "this worlds needs to be flip upside down" This is so deep man. Oh wait, it's not. You're not saying anything with it. What do you mean the world needs to be flipped upside down?
The world needs problem solvers. People who can design systems, design a new one if the old is inadequate, improve the existing one with solutions and so on... Then, there would be no need to "break the peace" either.
But I'll let all of you get back to daydreaming, commenting deep thoughts and not giving a shit about how people, society and systems actually work...

Humanity will always have problems. There will always be evil and goodness. The best one can do is resist, and be kind. But that often doesn't happen, as usually they are manipulated or lose standing. A balance must be found. As for your hero, I doubt one would last long alone, and a society of good people can eaisly be lost.

Why so pessimistic, 6? Can't we at least see if one of them can make a hero last? Look at the best in humanity. There's no need to bring them down. They already have many problems in the world to do that.

Except nowadays, humanity is the problem. Your hero is probably going to become a "villain" to solve the issues, as most people would resist the change.

Yes, and we have them.

Neil Degrasse Tyson
Bill Nye
Lawrence M. Krauss
Richard Dawkins

There are many others. All of these people are fighting for a better world, and it starts with education. The more we all know, the more we can better this world.

All people are open to change, just a little bit in subtle ways. The government and media have been doing this forever, its a technique called the overton window. One person alone can't change a world view completely, but many can change it after a while.

For example, just over two hundred years ago, it was perfectly fine to carry firearms in America. But our government and media have made it seem as though they only have an evil purpose now.

>>167 Bill Nye isn't a hero. He's a goddamn god in human form

Earth needs a hero to fight the humans that are killing it.

What we humans need is somebody brave enough to slap us all in the face and stop us from killing the planet.

What do you mean, killing the planet? Global warming, oh wait, sorry, I mean, climate change? (I forgot we can't say global warming because now the planet is getting a little colder and it embarresses those who think the climate is going out of control)/

Don't be so rude, 6. The climate is changing! Its just not as bad as people think.

Ga'dhin, I think 6 meant to say he doesn't think the world is going out of control, and would like you to expand upon the idea of humans killing the earth.

Overusing our natural resources, not putting back what we use (although, granted, we have been improving with that.)
Polluting (that too, we have been improving that problem thankfully)
If you do your research, you will see that we are killing the planet. The human race is way too overpopulated. We'll overuse what Earth has for us at this rate.

But what is a hero to one thing could very easily be a villain to another since while things are happening we don't have a clear grasp on everything a "hero" may be involved in, as opposed to looking back on things in hindsight which makes everything seems clear and obvious. Take Hitler, the Germans had been victimized and taken advantage of, but he put everything back on track; it wasn't until he was defeated that his depravity was exposed

Is it right to let people starve from lack of resources? Or is it right to eliminate unnecessary humans for the sake of the whole earth, revoking their right to live?

Heheh, wonderful questions you are asking. At the end of the day, really, who knows?

no it just need peolpe willing to fight for what they believe in

"fuck off" or "who cares??"

The world needs us.

I guess a hero would be nice
Not the whole spandex and tights kind of thing
Although that would be cool

I feel like in reality we just need people who are more open and aware of the needs of the world, even the smaller things. Those who realize that things affect them, even if you don't think so/ don't realize. People with a moral standing and can help out, and perhaps over time it would pay off. You can't save the world in a day, but over time and with help you can at least start to change.

Which is practically what >179 said

if there would be a hero there would be so many problems 2.. Only youself can help you.

I don't think a single person could ever save the entire world, it's simply wishful thinking.

That's why personally I feel groups like the Dollars is relevant in this day and age, because even if the change we make isn't visible to each person, there is at least some change. Not to mention the fact that this was started by a normal person, and the group consists of normal people. To me that's more impressive than if there was a single incredibly powerful person helping to fix the problems that face us.

Also considering there are many things that need fixing on this planet, there are different people that can help with different things, and thus having a larger number of people help support a cause is more significant than having one with more significant abilities than most.

We don't need A hero, we need MULTIPLE heroes. The only problem with that is the debate about what is a problem and what isn't a problem. Environmental problems is something almost anyone can get behind, but political or social problems would be a whole nother ball game. While we all want peace, the kind of peace that is best for us is what people argue about. Peace is a result of control and discipline, but people don't want to be controlled. Anarchy results in chaos and violence, but people seek it anyway. The point is, a balance between both is what is most likely best. However, that kind of peace balances on a knife's edge.

I dont think that a hero or heroes would change much.. It's not up to someone to change the world, but its up to us. If we dont change, I dont think that anyone can help..
So its up to us if we want to live in a better world. ^^

maybe there could be one hero to rise above or not only time will tell

We don't need a hero to actually solve our problems. We just need someone to give us a slap and push us into the fire. So essentially we just need a person to make us actually do something about the problems we face

Although a supreme hero sweeping the streets clean of scum and thugs its going to be a big group or atleast half of humanity working together
