This is my usual directionless, angsty crap, this time brought on by the scene in Hellboy II (so yes, this is strictly movie-verse, as I don't read the comics) in which the public attack Hellboy for "harming" a baby and "destroying" the city, and Liz defends him for "trying to help". I only own the DVDs.
Hero
What makes a man a man?
What makes a man a hero?
Does courage make a hero? Loyalty? Determination?
Does love make a hero? Friendship? Family?
Does loss make a hero? Sacrifice? Death?
Courage to be different.
Loyalty to his cause.
Determination to keep fighting.
A hero?
Love enough to cross over.
Friendship strong enough to die for.
Family, not by blood, but something greater.
A hero?
Loss of a father, turned him around.
Sacrifice of his freedom, to help the world.
Death was his destiny, he fought it.
A hero?
Is it action that makes a man a hero?
Saving lives, saving cities, saving the world.
Can a man do all this and not be a hero?
No?
Then why can't people see he's a hero?
