[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 370178, member: 63"] However, as a mild rebuttal to myself, in Four-Color to Fantasy, one of the sample characters (in a Victorian, fantasy London) is an Elvish druid, former eco-terrorist turned hero when she comes across a more technologically-inclined terrorist. Seeing the pain he causes, she realizes that she herself is no better than him. They both hurt others because they value something that is unthinking, and that could never care about them in return. She realizes that, though she still wants to protect her Elvish heritage, people deserve to be protected more. I'll have to write more about her some day. . . . Ah, and yes, we just got to the scene of true heroism in this movie. The fat, unattractive, bald guy . . . y'know, the one who isn't real Hollywood material? He sacrifices his life to rescue the main three characters when the Tyrannosaurs attack them. But do they mourn his death, commend his spirit, or even say, "Dang, we'd be dead if not for him"? Nope. They argue with the InGen folks about how the dinos are too important. The pretty (punk), villainous (punk) eco-terrorist (punk) survives, while the truly heroic bald, fat man, who isn't handsome enough, gets killed off without a second thought. I weep. The movie is fun, but it commends the people I loathe the most. [/QUOTE]
