True, but that is one aspect of reality that leads to poor narrative.

Fiction or not, we are not especially entertained by accurate representations of the 'real world'. (no pun intended)

I think anyone would sound whiney and self-centered if you could hear their internal dialog. Or if their internal dialog were somehow represented in an external way.

True, but some superheroes go beyond that. Spiderman is OK on my scale, he feels inadequate at times but always always ends the story coming to terms with himself (as in the movie). The worst offender would be the Cosmic Crybaby, aka the Silver Surfer.

he lost his entire planet and spent years as a mind-slave to a planet devourer. doesn't he have things to whine about?

Apparently not.

I never answer Fyron's calls to argument because it's pointless, so I'll do the same here.

Puke. The sniper vs sniper really happened in Stalingrad. The Germans sent in a regiment of their best snipers to take on the Russian Snipers.

There was a russian sniper who actually sniped with an anti-tank gun!

Another one who sniped with a motar.

The duel between the German officer and the Russian happened. As did the love story. But the girl was injured and removed from the front. Years later she finally met up with the love of her life but by this time he had married and had children. The german officer sniper was killed by a sniper named Vassili ( Not the general )

All this took place over a span of about 3 weeks around December of 42.

Hit movies that blow

Lucas movies, anything with will smith. A few of Mel Gibson movies suck but he is such a great actor. Really enjoyed signs and the We were soldiers.
