Heroism on screen

Do we want someone to save us? The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Blob, Godzilla, The Night of the Living Dead, The Saw Movies, Nosferatu, Birds, and so on and so on have created a world of fear through visual stimulation that the feeling of anxiety permeates into our everyday lives. Those that are going to save us from this fear are God, running, ourselves with a gun, science, waiting, or even the monsters themselves. The unnecessary heroes like Superman, The Hulk, Iron man, Captain America, Winston Churchill, Rambo, UCAV, etc...presuppose that the majority is in danger and needs to be saved. When the world ceases to be threatened then the mighty become the threat that they seek to destroy if assimilation cannot happen. Alter egos are formed to protect the protector and save the fight that will inevitably returns. "Save me Obi Wan, you're my only hope," plays over and over so the message is clear. There is a giant asteroid plummeting toward Earth and our only hope is a oil drilling team, united in Hollywood by the best talent agents. Banks have become so evil that they would buy debt to attain unilateral control over third world, industrial countries. Aliens seek to destroy the world and even the values that we all hold dear. Raise the white flag of surrender to draw them in and then, when they least expect it, ATTACK! Training on heroism is in the movies, just keep watching and you might, someday be able to save the world from killer cockroaches from outer space. Oh, wait, that one has been done too, but it could still happen, supposedly they can survive a nuclear explosion, or at least that's the word from the movies. Just watch out for the mobile computers that seek to save us from ourselves, but there is always the EMP to take them out. Really the only evil that has no hero is unexplained evil like demons or the devil because we don't no where they are or what they want. Oh wait, they want our souls and we can beat them by disregarding ourselves for the sake of the whole world. A private battle and inner struggle just isn't grand as all that action in explosions and running around. Heroes if anything are entertaining.
