Every Hero Explained in 7 Minutes 

Omg 10k views, thanks a ton for the support!! This is the most I've ever gotten on any video before! Working to get that villain video out soon! (And deciding on something better than Cooperation vs Willingness, maybe Glory vs. Fate?)

An example of a classical hero I use is Johnathan Joestar from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. He works in a team, is always a gentleman, treats his girlfriend with respect, and even shows compassion for the villain (Dio), even while he’s dying.

Oddly enough Green Lantern who is powered by his will is quite often on the reluctant side due to him fighting himself after Parallax, while not a one to one and skipping over his fear and being possed by Parallax having him take a yellow ring instead, Injustice 2 does an incredible job showing this when he fights Atrocious

6:50 "Or maybe you like a hero that doesn't mind breaking a few bones to make a point." Me "theirs or others. Looking at you deku."

I have to say that anti heroes are one of the best options for a side character that was really close to the main character.

Another catalyst hero is Gandalf

not mentioning Spiderman in the Everyman is a crime because that is literallly what the entire character is about

I like how *Satoru Gojo* from *Jujutsu Kaisen* can fall on opposite ends of the spectrum. He fits into "Superhero" he is a God among us, a being of unparalleled strength and absurd power that makes him be seen only as a weapon to be used against curses and enemys, and never a person, he is seen only as *"The Strongest"* and not like "Satoru Gojo" himself. But, at the same time, he is a "Tragic Hero", because the strength granted by being a "Superhero" made his person, his development, everything that surrounds him, tragic. It's as if, as a *Jujutsu Sorcerer*, as *"The Strongest"* he is a Superhero, and as a person, as *Satoru Gojo*, he is a tragic hero. It's beautiful to appreciate that in the character.

I'm disappointed Master Oogway wasn't the first example for catalyst

gordon freeman literally has a quote about being a everyman. "the right man in the wrong place can be all the difference in the world." he never speaks, so anybody can be in that situation.

The kind of hero I'm thinking about writing is kind of a fusion of Anti and Classical, of those two extremes. He values his friends, family, and lover, sometimes even more than his own life: That being said, he's an assassin and a manipulator who would *almost* stop at nothing to kill his enemies (the only people who could convince him to spare his enemies would be his friends, family, and future wife, but even this isn't totally a guarantee). He's kind of like a cat: Loyal to the house but still got a naughty mind of his own 🐱

Uncle Iroh is a catalyst

The heroes I resonated with were the romantic hero and the anti hero. Other examples of an actual anti hero (not on occasion) would be The Punisher, and The Man with No Name.

The classical is basically the dragonborn

this video definitely helped me figure out what i've been doing with one of the characters i'm writing about. i had an idea but this definitely helped me solidify it thank you!

I thought that this was a very interesting video, but one thing in particular that bugged me was the spectrums of willingness and cooperation. I don't think that a hero type (in the way that you've outlined them) has anything to do with either of those categories. A superhero can be willing just as a tragic hero can be uncooperative. Otherwise, this was an excellent video from a disproportionately small channel. Keep up the good work.

Very interesting video. I find myself liking the bottom grid type of heroes instead of the higher ones because they are more relatable with human struggles and more interesting to dive in. Make one about villain 😮

I like how Deku / Izuku from MHA actually fits both the superhero category of heroes & the romantic category due to his goals not aligning with hero society & his motivations to try to save Shigaraki causing hero society to hopefully change.

before the types of heroes are shown, Kirby is on the middle, leaning towards the top left. most of the time he won't budge until the food is stolen or his peace is interrupted. whenever he does do something, he goes all the way through to the end sometimes going out of the way to help more people (or grab some food), be it alone or with friends.

You're super underrated, your editing is great and your topic choices are interesting enough to keep my ADHD brain interested. Keep it up!

all i can think of when i see that intro is Audi famam illius. Solus in hostes ruit et patriam servavit. Audi famam illius. Cucurrit quaeque tetigit destruens. Audi famam illius. Audi famam illius. Spes omnibus, mihi quoque. Terror omnibus, mihi quoque. Ille iuxta me. Ille iuxta me. Socii sunt mihi, qui olim viri fortes rivalesque erant. Saeve certando pugnandoque splendor crescit.

havent seen the channel before but this video is really well made 560th subscriber 🙏

My favorites will always be superheros

The epic super and anti heroes are my favorite types 😎😎😎💪🦸🏼‍♂️⚡️⭐️🥇⚔️🛡

Question: Would a hero character that is either paid to do heroic actions or pushed by other hero characters (Like a friend or) fall into Anti-Hero? Or would it be another category?

An anti hero can really be someone wronged by the villians first. A kid can grow up thinking it's villians vs villians until he inadvertently creates a space the heroes like.

Best Everyman example is Emmet from the lego movie.

This is a good video to learn other types of heroes. Some of the types, such as the epic and romantic, should have their own TV tropes page dedicated to them.

Taylor from worm is my fav tragic hero

This is underrated,do more spectrum stuff if you can,seems like a fun niche to explore

I was thinking about one of my own characters, and I'm honestly kind of confused as to where he would land here. in terms of morality and behaviour he's definitely an anti-hero, having a bit of a sadistic streak kept in check by his morals directing it at irredeemable villains. but by this chart he's also completely proactive and willing to lead the fight against the main antagonist alongside a good number of other characters, putting him at classical hero

this video and the villain one are really helpful for dnd!

saw the notification and immediately clicked, great video!

My 3 main D&D characters are heroes, but all of different types. Toryn Nyrot (yes his name is a palindrome) Tragic Hero: A Paladin that left his wealthy family to strengthen ties between two countries, but the horrors of war, and the Untimely Execution of his Family on False Treason Charges broke him. He became jaded and grew to hate all those around him. I realized that this attitude and playstyle would not Gel with the rest of the group so the DM and I retired him. Derelek: Anti-Hero: Toryn’s replacement is a Gentleman Thief and master infiltration specialist that views himself a Robin Hood. He’s no cold blooded Killer, but serial Larceny is definitely not in the code of law. He fights to protect his home from invasion because “I’m one of the f*cks who lives here.” Korsika Roefort: Reluctant Hero. Did not want to be here but circumstances back home forced her to run away. Feels she is a coward, perpetually running from her problems, but is endlessly kind and caring to make up for it. Even helped convince the intended BBEG to swap sides, forcing the DM to make a new one. (Which he did quite well btw.)

Great video man.... I am writing a story and this helped me to visualise my different characters .... And btw I am your 781st subscriber.... Can you make a video on villains too

Something I've been thinking about is where would rimuru be on this? He is a catalyst for much of the stuff early in his series. But he also lost some of his humanity and died in the first episode (the series is about his life after being reincarnated). Yet he would kill however many of almost anything required to save people he cares about but is a kind person unless provoked in a hostile way (he even plans to achieve world peace), and he cannonically is fated to die if he doesn't become a demon lord (which he only does in the main timeline) but eventually becomes a god

Such an incredible and underrated video and channel ❤❤❤

Personally, I actually prefer paragons over anti-heroes, but I understand if that is a hot take.

A hero who born a hero but want non hero life or a hero that didn't ask to be a hero always have soft spot in my hearth. In every culture including mine, a heroic figure mostly come from someone who willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of everyone, or someone who is born and educated right to be a great person so that they can be a help for goodness of others, but a hero is still a person, they're still human behind their hero status, what if the hero doesn't want to be a hero in the first place, they just become a hero because that is the role given for them and that is what society want them to do. Being a hero is a gift as much as is a curse, and they can't escaped it not without a cost, they're reluctant about it and have a reason for it, and that reason is that people always the one that made the decisions for them, they have no freedom in their life despite being a hero. This would change the reluctant hero into many possible shape of hero in future, and sometime even reshaped them into becoming a villain, because for then, living a hero life is like becoming everyone guard dog with leash made out of steel, and if they manage to break out from it there is always the cost. Take metroman from the movie megamind for example, the reason he faking his death is because he craving a freedom in his life after becoming a hero for so long doing the same thing with megamind to the point that he even know megamind personally. With his super speed he could just kill megamind and stop him into getting to his life forever, but he didn't. Because metroman might know that if he kill megamind, there is possibility that there is other villain who will come after him which mean he got no rest from a hero life, that why, he faking his death so that he can finally retired. Is not like he doesn't know the cost, he know megamind so well that he knew that if he leave nothing bad will happen and to his surprise megamind even becoming a hero to replace him which give metroman a freedom he always wish for. But, metroman is just one example and there is other hero who is not as lucky as him with some even more tragic than the other. I can't remember the characters so lets use classic fantasy rpg instead. At some point in every classic fantasy rpg story you will meet with some character that once a hero but turn into a villain. This hero once is adored and respected by peoples around them, sometime they even worship them and the hero do their best to honor them. But, people asking and demanding too much from the hero, they always put heavy expectations on them and when everything gone wrong they will blame it on the hero. The hero just want to do their role because that is what their life is but people expecting too much and it lead the hero down to the road of darkness and stop being a hero but people still not satisfied so they change call the hero into a villain instead and pick new hero to fight them. This is the reason why the reluctant hero have a soft spot in my hearth. Despite being a hero, they still a person nonetheless. They have soul, they have life, but society half of the time doesn't want to see that side of their hero and demanding them to be a proper hero according to their standard, and the hero have no choose except to agree or to rebel against it.

as someone who wants to improve writing this is all very good to know, w video.

Star wars heroes for each type Classical: Luke skywalker Epic: Revan Super: Luke skywalker Romantic: Anakin Skywalker Everyman: Cal Kestis Reluctant: Luke skywalker Tragic: Anakin skywalker Catalyst: Obi wan Kenobi Anti: Meetra Surik Sidenote: the fact that Luke skywalker wasn't in the classical category is INSANE he is literally THE classical hero, the description you gave for the classical hero was, bar for bar, Luke skywalker

I don’t think this chart works all that well, these axis aren’t super reflective of the separations between hero types.

Mario belongs in superhero because hes like the hero of mushroom kingdom

2:05, I’m not sure I agree with that. Gilgamesh’s quest for immortality in the wake of Enkidu’s death works pretty well for me as does Achilles raging against Hector for killing Patroclus

An example of the tragic hero I had on my mind was Steven from SU, specifically Future. I can't really explain why but he _feels_ similar to the tragic hero.

Question: where would you put Percy Jackson on this chart?

4:50 *a set of characters from older books* and Anakin Skywalker

Yo u just got a new subscriber!

Herakles is much different from what people think, like as you showed a picture of Disney's Hercules, which is not an accurate representation of him. Herakles was a very tragic hero but through him defying the odds he became a hero and we can relate to him for overcoming his 12 Labour's and apon his death he became a god

Who else is here to see what hero they aspire to be?

Also a catalyst hero is most definitely Himmel the Hero fron Sousou no Frieren

As a kid I used to love classical heroes but when I grew up I tend to love more anti heroes because of their grey morality that makes them much more interesting

I'm going to do this but with Pro Wrestlers Classical: John Cena/ Cody Rhodes Epic: Hulk Hogan Superhero: John Cena (on occasion), face Andre the Giant Romantic: Stone Cold/CM punk Everyman: Dusty Rhodes Reluctant: Shawn Michaels(Triple H feud), Ricky steamboat, Kenny Omega Tragic: Mankind/Jeff Hardy Catalyst: Ric Flair (late career) Antihero: The Rock, Eddie Guerrero, Stone Cold (on occasion)

2:52, and John Carter from Edgar Rice Burroughs books.

Could you do every type of villain next?

Great video!! Where would you put the Byronic hero? A hero who just doesn't fill the shoes of heroism? Who aren't morally questionable, but just aren't strong, brave, or, well, "heroic"?

This is just a plain good video like wow

5:21 Gojo, Uncle Ben..? Peter Parker in the Miles series, IDK.

So would iron man/Tony stark in mcu canon be considered both a catalyst hero and superhero

Neo from Matrix would count as an everyman, right? He didn't exactly gain powers. He just molded the matrix like the other guys. Great video!

Every God Explained in 7 minutes.❤ please

Are you gonna do every villain explained?

Bcuz of this very interesting video about superheroes, I wanna know your opinion on my original story im working on. A comic series called Gradient that has two main characters, one falls into the classical hero category while the other is the anti-hero/tragic villain of the two. What makes it different (I think) is the fact these two are brothers but due to their clashing paths they tend to have numerous feuds. Kazuya Rekka is the older brother who dont believe in the superheroes in their world to be noble and selfless, instead they’re only there for the glory and riches. Kazu Rekka is the younger brother who still believes the good in superheroes are real, thus becoming a hero himself to save those in need and prove his brother wrong. Saving him from the darkness. Hope you like it 😁

To add another example of a good reluctant hero for me would be Trevor Belmont from the Netflix Castlevania. At first he just wanted to wallow in his own misery after his family was excommunicated and executed by the church. To drink and sleep underneath a tree while Dracula slaughtered the world. After all humanity literally brought this destruction on themselves. But Sypha and the other speakers showed reminded him that there are still good people out there who are worth saving. So he takes up his family legacy and even goes on to defeat both Dracula and Death himself.

Lore of Every Hero Explained in 7 Minutes momentum 100

I think Ben Tennyson would fall into RELUCTANT hero category and Optimus Prime in SUPER hero category.

Oh yeah!!! Mob Psycho reference!!!

John Brown is all of them, it just makes sense.

Romantic hero for me!

Which one would saitama from one punch man fit in?

Bruce campbell would be epic

1:22, like Arthur Pendragon or Harry Potter or Luke Skywalker or Avatar Aang

Shouldn't Itadori be a "Jehkl and Hyde" villain cuz Sukuna is evil and takes over his body, making them sorta like a Venom and Eddie duo?

We need a villain chart now.

In this case would you place The Doctor from Doctor Who as Catalyst?

fun fact the picture of "hercules" you showed was actually heracles from Greek mythology, the directors were just not actually intelligent in the mythology catagory

another anti hero is megamind

I love this video, but putting the classical hero in the high willingness category isn’t very accurate they are fated to be heroes so they literally have no choice in the matter because destiny is forcing them to do it, and that’s why I think they classical heroes should be in the lowest willingness category.

0:28, what I want to know is, what makes a hero who isn’t an anti-hero not anti

Great video but now give me every type of villain

I feel like in many series's, optimus prime/ alpha trion are definitely catatlyst heros

What's different of classic and epic hero

What if someone has to take the role of a hero because they did something that prevented the original hero from hero-ing? For example: oops, the chosen one slipped on a banana peel that I recklessly threw away and broke his spine! But oh no, someone still has to deal with the bad guys!

Where would you put Senku from Dr. Stone on thus chart

Magical girls are a type of hero

Tragic hero is basically kim dokja

I disagree with putting a tragic hero on the high end for 'willingness'. What makes a tragic hero tragic is that the events are almost completely out of their control. Fate usually plays a role (take Oedipus Rex or Macbeth for example) and the characters react to learning their fate with what they think is action, but ultimately just confirmation. By that standard they are completely passive in a fate outside of their control. Equally in terms of their fatal flaw (hamartia), it is innate in their character so they have no power over their ultimate downfall, they are passive. And in the Aristotelian Tragic Arc (what is usually used to define a tragic hero,) the element of realisation (anagnorisis) is a realisation of how they were doomed from the start, how they had no willingness in their story.

This one is good

You forgot the karmatic trickster.

Wasnt frankenstein more of a monster than a hero..? (big brian moment btw)

Can't believe nobody said Deadpool for anti hero! Debatably, I'd also say Batman is an Epic Hero instead of a Super.

Anti hero is favor hero they are already know how the world Works and they Respect Humanity but not pure Kindness

As an example of romantic hero could you put misfourtune.

In what category you can put the original Kamen Rider?🤔

What is itachi uchiha

I'm curious why you decided to go with willingness and teamwork. Aren't there various other ways to classify heroes?

The anti hero is punisher

Not Deadpool ( I know he's a Vigilante but yes)

Is it possible for you to give a better explanation of the factors? Also Harley Quinn is an antivillian.

Now..... Which one would Batman be?
