Movie Heroes vs. Real Heroes
Debating the difference between film and real world heroes
What is the difference
Between a movie hero
And a real hero?
Is it a cape?
Is it advanced technology?
Is it magical powers?
In movies we see,
Heroes wear supersuits,
Heroes gain powers,
Heroes struggle to succeed,
At the end of a movie,
Heroes defeat the villain,
Heroes save lives,
Heroes save the world.
In the real world,
Heroes don’t have magical powers,
Heroes don’t have a time machine,
Heroes don’t save the universe,
What else is different,
Between movie heroes and real heroes?
Within movies heroes,
Live in a multiverse,
Are naturally good at heart,
Mostly have a happy ending,
Meanwhile real heroes aren’t pure good,
They live in a single world,
They can have a dark side,
Their endings can end in tragedy.
In the end,
Heroes help people,
Heroes make mistakes,
Heroes can be good or evil.
That is what a hero is.
