Better is subjective, and in this world, better means more combustible. 


Fair enough, and that is your choice.

That'a an exception that proves the rule.

Surprised David has shown up yet.


Too challenging and too subjective.

You know how he likes things easy and heroic.


The title of the thread is way too blatant.

Out of curiosity, what is your definition of "hero"?


Self-sacrificial person, who does things for the greater good. 


Putting aside for a moment the fact that said definition is a potentially dangerous one, there have been such people throughout history and are commonplace in everyday life. You probably won't find them wielding a sword or casting a spell though.^_^

Second time now, I guess I have to break it down for you:

The fact that there is an exception to there being no truth, which is the truth that there is none, it proves that there is no truth.

No because, there is no such thing as greater good, whatever you do, someone is bound to disagree with you, and you won't be a hero for them.

In that case, even in fiction there are no heroes. Every hero in fiction has enemies who won't view him/her as a hero.

No that's exactly the thing in the fiction: Hero enemies aknowledge them as heroes, and think of themselves as the bad guys that do evil for evils sake.

So, for instance, you would say that the Marines who threw themselves on grenades to save the lives of their fellows during WWII weren't heroes?

There are very few villains who are "evil for evil's sake". The vast majority have motives that they think are right. So to them, the hero of the story is actually the villain standing in the way of their "greater good".

They weren't. 


Even when they fit your definition for being heroes? They were willing to give their lives to save other Marines what would be the greater good.

@OP: Would you consider Dragon Age: Origins to be more realism or heroism then?

The ones where villians don't aknowledge themselves as the villians are realistic, not heroic.
