About this deal

Some parts may a little slow, and perhaps Accidental Hero(or Hero) is a little too long, but other than that the film is very clever and very brave, and I think underrated as well. It does have a great story concerning a Mystery Samaritan(or "The Angel of Flight 104" as Andy Garcia claims himself to be), very well-constructed and written with a Capra-esquire element to it. Izuku climbed beside Mama on the couch and leaned against her side. “What’s wrong, Mama? Why are you sad?” Izuku patted her tear-stained cheek. “Don’t cry. Mama looks prettier when you smile.” In The Doraemons Special, Doraemon, Doramed and Kid are babysitting for a family. However, the baby crawls away while they're not paying attention, and in trying to find the child, they end up foiling a bank robbery.

Although the film leaves it an open question how much Godzilla does that intentionally and how much it's just instinct, so this may or may not be a subversion. In one episode of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, Jimmy and the gang are tasked to steal a special egg that contains a powerful element for a machine that will be used to control the world. During this heist, Carl accidentally mixes up the real egg with an identical fake one and is forced to choose which to pull down. When they return with the egg, their client betrays them and turns out to be a Mobile-Suit Human of Professor Calamitous. Fortunately, the egg they possessed was the same fake one and the Professor's machine gets destroyed. a b c Fretts, Bruce. "Staging 'Hero' 's plane crash." Entertainment, October 2, 1992. Retrieved: January 16, 2017. As flight A321 nears San Francisco, desperate choices need to be made and soon passengers, crew and experts on the ground become accidental heroes in their attempts to avert an airline disaster. This would make a fantastic movie! An Aesop: Heroes come in many forms. Some inspire others to be better through their reputation as heroes, while others just do the saving when saving needs to be done, but aren't very inspiring in themselves. Either way, anyone can be a hero.

Examples:

Jesse Hassenger (2015). "A Dustin Hoffman flop revives the spirit of Frank Capra". The A.V. Club . Retrieved 2022-02-02. Stephen Frears made a fantastic film in 'Hero'.... the underrated Masterpiece of Hollywood from the year 1992. The film is engaging, interesting, gripping, enjoyable almost everything you want to see in a film, when you grow up. Let me be clear–these are not people I had any kind of a fight with. These are people who I may not have offered any kind of insights or direction to. Perhaps the most interaction we had was general conversation. But for whatever reason, right out of the gate they did not like me. Here’s where it gets really interesting–many of those people have become my most loyal clients and, in some cases, some of my closest friends. So, what happened? The image is from " Moe Baby Blues", where Moe saves Maggie (who had been launched from the Simpsons' car in a traffic accident) just as he was about to jump off the Springfield Bridge. Also a heartwarming moment when Maggie kisses Moe and Moe smiles, saying "Life don't seem so hard no more". In Paladin's Quest, Chezni starts his journey because he was duped by his "friend" Duke, actually Zaygos, the Emperor of the Southern continent, into activating Dal Gren.

Audrey, Wait!: The media latches on to Audrey as the subject of infamous Break-Up Song, "Audrey, Wait!", turning her into a celebrity for no real reason other than inspiring the song. Not "heroic" in the traditional sense, but Audrey uses the media attention to good ends. There are two types of people in this world. There are those who will do whatever they can for other people and are the eternal optimists, and there are those who hate life, hate people and will always look out for number one. In this film, that second character has a brief moment of weakness and changes everyone's lives. In Dragon Ball Super, King of All Cosmos Zen-Oh had previously expressed a desire to hold a martial arts tournament between all 12 universes but never got around to it. Goku reminds him of it several story arcs later, thinking it would be fun. Only Zen-Oh's plan is to destroy the eleven losing universes, and their inhabitants immediately laid into Goku for being so heartless. But Vados points out that if Goku had not intervened, Zen-Oh would have just destroyed every universe, no questions asked. Goku doesn't care either way, because he loves a good fight, and he's even okay with people thinking he's evil if he gets a good fight out of it.The Lord of the Rings fanfiction Nine Men and a Little Lady has Gollum, who inadvertently saves the day by eating Mary Sue, having mistaken her references to her "precious" as meaning the Ring. In The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, Granny is praised far and wide as a master detective, and she herself thinks she is. While by no means incompetent, as she always makes the final deductions herself, it's Sylvester chasing Tweety Bird around wherever they're located that causes the necessary evidence or information to fall straight into Granny's hands — she has never once fully solved a case by herself. With all the media attention placed on Garcia's character, this film is at it's satirical best. The secondary, more enjoyable story regarding around Hoffman is wonderful, but it's the constant television exclusives and the cameras following Garcia around constantly which is the best part. No Longer Allowed in Another World: Sensei accidentally slays the Death Tree, saving both his life and Tama's, by passing his "Poison" status effect on it, reducing it to a burnt stump. Danielle Steel has been accused of writing fluff. Critics often say her books are awful. As someone who has read this book, I have to disagree.

Bone: Phoney's scam to have the townsfolk help him capture a dragon ends up accidentally saving their lives when rat creatures raid Barrelhaven and burn the settlement to the ground. Had the townsfolk been present, they would have been slaughtered by the rat creatures all the same.This film is terribly misrepresented by critics. True, it is not an insightful social critique. It is not a moving analysis of human nature. It is not a philosophical masterpiece. But it makes no pretensions to be any of these things. Hero is pure Hollywood, and is the very best of what Hollywood means, or meant at the time. The plot is clever, the writing is witty, the characters are interesting, and the acting is decent (Dustin Hoffman is great). The development is not meant to expose new subtleties of human emotion, but rather strongly to evoke obvious ones -- in this case, pride. In other words, it is meant to make you happy. That is not to say that the audience is barraged with heavy-handed judgments, merely that it does not require a degree in theater to like the film. It is interesting enough to be enjoyable after several viewings, but not subtle enough to require serious study. This is because their action was an act of accidental (aka unconscious) heroism. You might say it was conscious heroism because the person did it deliberately, but I would still say that the person is an accidental hero. They simply did what they did; they were not thinking about whether it was courageous or not. It was simply an unconscious reaction. They became a hero by accident. I am in no way demeaning it yet let’s be clear; this is the kind of heroism we usually recognize. Deliberate Heroes

In the Batman: The Animated Series episode " The Man Who Killed Batman", a very small-time thug, "Sid the Squid", working as a lookout somehow managed to accidentally "kill" Batman, which makes him a hero and a big-shot to Gotham City's underground. It also earns him the wrath of both Joker and Rupert Thorne, who thinks Sid has been "playing dumb" and wants to depose him. Batman is actually still alive, however, and saves Sid and collars Thorne. Sid gets sent to a big prison outside of Gotham City limits, where he is still treated as a hero for almost killing Batman — and making both Thorne and the Joker look like fools. Dangan Ronpa: Gender Bender Edition : While Makoto was training with Sakura, she drops an iron bar that she was lifting. At the same time, the events that led to Chihiro's death by Mondo in canon were occurring, and the sound of the bar snaps Mondo out of his mindless rage, stopping him from killing Chihiro. Unfortunately, the events end up leading to another death instead... Here’s why: when asked how they were able to find the courage, they often say that they weren’t being a hero. They were just doing what anyone would have done.

Statistics

We tend to think of accidental heroism as classically “heroic.” Accidental heroism occurs when a major or tragic event has taken place, and a person does something amazing. A person who runs into a burning building to save a child is an “accidental hero”. In the Warrior Cats graphic novel Rise of Scourge, we learn that Big Bad Scourge became the ruthless warlord he was in part by trying to live up to a reputation for toughness he got for beating up two dogs. One of these incidents was a complete fabrication and in the other the dog became afraid of Scourge's shadow and ran off while Scourge was yowling at him. Of course, Scourge apparently did kill a few dogs for real later. Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, tries to seize the one Ring from Frodo as the later succumbs to its influence, now unwilling to destroy it. He claims the ring, hops with joy... and falls into the chasm of Mount Doom, destroying the ring and Sauron in the process, and in doing so, saving Middle Earth. That Gollum may accidently save the world is foreshadowed earlier when Gandalf posits that fate may yet have a use for him, and that Bilbo's mercy in not killing him when he had the chance may yet be what saves the world. Frodo forgives Gollum after his death. Kaachan sneered at him. “Hah?! What about all that crap about being a hero? Not like you could be one anyway, you quirkless nerd!” In the Miraculous Ladybug one-shot fanfic The Hero of Paris , a random American tourist films and livestreams a crazy man rambling about akumas and ladybugs in the bathroom of a train he's riding. He's unaware that the crazy man is Hawk Moth a.k.a. Gabriel Agreste, and that he's just caught Paris' worst terrorist red-handed.
