Hey I'm Super! Not Just Super-Slim

I was sitting back look at at all the average Hollywood protagonist that they make into super heroes and I feel like they're somewhat stereotyped and unrealistic. Who's to say you have to be 6'3" 220lbs, buff and great skin? I mean if you think about the real life scenarios you don't see too many real heroes and if you do they certainly don't resemble anything like what I previously stated. If I were to see a man jump out in front of a moving vehicle to save a child for instance, it would be a 47yr old balding man who who just got out of work doing his plumbing duties, takes one look at the child in the street and see his own child within them and decides to do something about it. That's a real hero. I mean lets be honest, in reality has anyone ever seen the muscle protruding Bally's Total Dips**t ever running to save the day? Yeah, I didn't think so. I mean hey, I have actually grabbed kids out of the way & pulled someone back from traffic before, but you wouldn't see that type of character in a movie. You would find an individual with my build and stature in comedies or docudramas that ultimately make you fall in love with us out of pity or some sort of "little-guy complex" empathy. This is all well and good, but as much as a buff individual can play those roles, there's a unrealized duality for those individuals like myself who aren't readily identifiable as those who would/could save your life. I was watching 'Zombieland' the other night and this was a movie that puts down your general hero complex in every way possible. The main character with the hero factor was a skinny white guy in his early 20's who wa quite low on the social totem pole before zombie epidemic struck the world. At the end of the movie, he saved the day, got the girl and did it all without a surplus of muscles and overcoming his fear of circus clowns. It seems to me that since it is a movie and it does have to sell it all must be aesthetically pleasing, visuals, physical appearance as well as story line. However, seeing those movies breakout of the average and do what i see as above average is a great time indeed. So I may or may not be "preaching to the crowd" right now but it makes a lot of sense to question what we're being sold, after all we pay for it.
