And here we have the second award of the night, for the Best Hero, or as I've labelled it, Most Heroic Hero. I couldn't very well give you a villain and then no-one to fight for truth, justice and the American way. No, no, the winner isn't Superman. *slaps forehead and shakes head*
The award for Most Heroic Hero goes to Chris Evans for his portrayal of
Steve Rogers, aka Captain America: The First Avenger
It was only when I was writing about why I picked the end scene of Captain America: The First Avenger to win my award for 'Most Heartbreaking End To A Film EVER' that I realised Steve Rogers would also win the award for Most Heroic Hero. He's just so infinitely good. Through and through. All he wants out of life is to fight for his country and get the girl. He's smart, sensible, romantic, brave, and if that wasn't enough he's got more courage in his little finger than most guys have in their whole bodies. All that and no actual superpowers. He's just been beefed up by Dr Erskine's super duper serum. Which only builds on what's already within someone, in his words "bad becomes worse and good becomes great." Which means good old Steve was already good and now he's a super fit great man. There are plenty of super hero characters who sure have been heroic this year but I don't think any of them stand up to Steve.
In honour of Steve's win I have included a short video which shows clips from the film to the backing of the Star Spangled Man - which in my opinion should have won (or at least been nominated) for an Oscar for Best Original Song. If ever you want to listen to something uplifting and inspiring just put that on your ipod. I guarantee it will make you smile if nothing else.
Special Thanks to MindFreak76 for making such a good video!
Runners Up:
Thor - Thor: Buff and funny but also a bit too spoiled to be winner of this award
Charlie Brewster - Fright Night: Similar kind of 'average Joe' hero but not good to the core like Steve
Who would you like to have defending your corner again the evil villainy of the world?
Also in regard to the saddest ending post the death of his best friend who he does save earlier is also equally tragic.
