We've all watched Batman, Superman, Spiderman, X-Men, Ninja Hero Turtles.
Oh - and Rawhide and Starski and Hutch and Dukes of Hazard
Also Arnold Schwarznegger and Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone and Steven Segal and so forth....
We've been shown heros fighting with bad guys, and they fight with super powers, guns, jets, missiles, fists, martial arts etc.
We also have sports heros.
What is this all for?
Is it to train our boys to be heros?

I think you have missed the point and grown up far too quickly. its fantasy, thats all it is plain and simple, its what we want to be and seeing it on film TV or on a sports arena its just a big wish that it could be us

Shwarzeneger, stallone segal and co are actors who plays heroes. Batman, superman and co are the heroes that actors play. Heroes achieve great things that we we would like to achieve or they fight in our corner hence we love them. Shwazeneger is a hero of california because he fought to become governor so that he could make california better

It is a good question friend but not an easy one to answer briefly but I think most of us would like to be brave and to be admired but society will always have to war and then you need 'cannon fodder' so it must help if you are already halfway trained to go and get killed and maimed

Movie industry is not called dream factory for nothing.
Role model, when not imitated as wholesale, is necessary for aspiration and creativity
To me, it is the violence associated with heroes that is really damaging.
Our boys are taught bravery = revenge + fist. Their views are distorted.

They are only showing what you like or liked to be.
Some of your imginations of to be a hero are satisfied by seeing them. More they encash by showing this. Not more than that.

I think we need someone to look up to and these heroes bring out the kid in us.
I don't think it is so well thought out as to influence our kids.
