[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 9598616, member: 326"] Aspirational Heroes (Superman, Thor) are not for everyone and cater more towards those positive idealists who see the glass as half full rather than half empty. They deliver uplifting stories featuring positive role-models. Tragic Heroes (ie, Batman, Spiderman) are certainly more relatable, prone to failure. Their stories have lower-lows (emotionally) and thus potentially more of a contrast. They deliver tragic stories featuring conflicted protagonists. Anti-heroes (ie. Punisher, Wolverine) are typically violent psychopaths willing to 'go the extra mile' to get the job done, but often hunted as Criminals. Their bloody stories are often tales of vengeance. To answer your statement (Superman is a boring dork) I would say if you prefer Anti-heroes or Tragic Heroes, then the Aspirational hero archetype might well seem boring to you....and vice versa.
