[B]1 feat proving Captain America being more heroic than Thor
- First of all jury i will start giving the definition of heroism:
- Merriam Webster Dictionary
- Therefore we can conclude that being heroic doesn't concern with power or strength (physically). Rather Heroism is concerned with the character's personality and traits. Furthermore, we can conclude that heroism is solely concerned with the conduct and actions a character takes when in times of hardship.
Argument demanded by the opposition:
A feat both characters share and which can be therefore brought for comparisson is that of Self Sacrifice. Both Thor and Captain America have comitted Self Sacrifice.
In Thor 1 we saw Thor giving himself to the Destroyer in order to save those he love. In Captain America the First Avenger we saw Steve sacrificing himself to a granade for random non-important soldiers.
Now, IT'S CLEAR who the most heroic is.
I will move now to address why Captain America is evidentely and without a doubt the most heroic.
Although Thor did in fact Self Sacrificed himself, which does make him very heroic, the fact is he was the reason the Destroyer was on Earth in the first place. Thor was on Earth because he was insolent, irresponsible and abusive. Furthermore, although Thor did Self Sacrificed, it was for those he loved (Jayne was there, his Asgardian fellows were there, etc). Furthermore, it could be argued that Thor knew he would 'Become Worthy' if he Self Sacrificed, which means Thor knew he wasn't endangered in the first place.
On the other hand, we got Steve who was
1. Bullied by the other Soldiers
2. Underestimated; no one believed in him.
3. Didn't had a responsibility to save them
4. No one was really in danger since all the soldier ran away (no one would have died really). Furthermore he could have run away too (like the other soldiers)
It's clear Captain America is heroic by nature. He was a no one. The very reason he became Captain America is because he EARNED IT. He was recognized for his herosim and great personality.
Conclusion:
Thor is heroic yes. I never stated otherwise. However, Cap just go the lead.
Cap is an authentic hero. He never owned anyone anything, and yet gave it all.
I hope you are content Froth. This should be enough to make you stop trolling me
