As long as a villain exists in a story, there will always be a heroine. So, you might ask, how exactly is a heroine defined by people? A hero according to the English dictionary is someone who possesses a courageous and honorable spirit, but also a person who has attributes, abilities, or unique characteristics that make individuals look up to them. With this in mind, throughout the many epics we have read so far, there have been several heroines such as Gilgamesh, Rama, Sita, Achilles, and Hector, but Gilgamesh and Achilles are the two characters in these epics that are extremely alike and different in so many ways. In particular, Gilgamesh and Achilles were both prideful and full of themselves alike in that matter, but they both were different in affluent power and overwhelming strength, which made them a heroine to fellow humans because of their superhuman abilities, high personal relationships, and great influence over people.
The movie that I believe would be a summer hit that makes a lot of money will be Wonder Women, because many people wanted Wonder Women to get a movie and after what seems like years, we finally get to see it in the theaters.

Movies such as the new Ghostbusters, which had female actors playing the lead roles also made women interested in seeing other films that contained a female being the main character. In other words the Wonder Woman movie will also gain attraction from female audience members like adults and young children because parents want their child seeing that they have a person that they can look up
When I was little, a hero was a Knight in Shining Armor, someone who saved a damsel in distress. A hero was Batman who beat up bad guys. A hero was my dad who protected people by putting bad guys in jail. Now all of those people are still heroes, but as I’ve grown more and more women have become heroes. I was never taught that girls weren't supposed to be heroes.

On August 31, 1997 in an attempt to escape the paparazzi, Princess Diana of Wales died in a car crash due to an intoxicated chauffeur (Waldherr 165). Due to the seemingly coincidental death, Princess Diana’s tragic death gave birth to a multitude of theories and conspiracies To understand why Diana’s passing was coincidental, one must understand her life leading up to her death. Having lost his heart to a Camilla Shand in 1973, Charles, Prince of Wales was left searching for a future queen and he found Diana.

Not My President As a wife a preacher, often times, "first lady," is often used to describe my "position" in the church. There are a few things incorrect and misleading concerning the secular term.

If I would ever have the opportunity to be chosen for the role in a movie, and there were an option between a hero and a villain, I would accept the offer of the villain role. There are many reasons why I would prefer to play the villain rather than the hero. For one, I get to act like a horrible person and not get into trouble for it. I love the person that I am, being as respectful and nice as possible, but sometimes it can be tiring. Acting like a villain can be the most interesting but the most challenging.
In Monica Miller, Jessica Rauch, and Tatyana Kaplan’s article “Gender Differences in Movie Superheros’ Roles, Appearances, and Violence”, the authors argue that men have it easier in the superhero world.

They developed this claim by first describing the roles of these female heroes. Then they briefly describe the appearances of the heroes. And finally, they characterize the weapons and fighting skills of these female heroes.
