Leslie Knope for me!
Captain planet (he’s our hero) (gonna take pollution down to zero)!
We could really, really use an environmentalist power that isn’t beholden to any nation or company.
The president from the West Wing. You know a politician who cared and did the right things despite optics
Also John Goodman’s character, Speaker of the House I believe, he was an honorable Republican. Pure fiction that show.
John Goodman is such a boss, what a fan fucking tastic actor. Magical.
His body of work is incredible. His work with the Coen Brothers alone is amazing.
He immediately came in and started trying to cut taxes. Also was in a massive rush to drop bombs on countries. Not sure he was that fictional.
And instead we get politicians worse than VEEP. Ouch.
It’s too depressing watching that show
Robin Hood, but modernized as a 21st-century hacker type so that he can cope in today’s world. But I’d still like him to look like he belongs in an edgy 90s movie, complete with green tights, for authenticity’s sake.
Hacker Robin Hood obvs. rocking programmer socks
The Doctor from Doctor Who. It’d be nice to think we were all being simultaneously respected, cared for, and defended by someone smarter and kinder than most of us.
While a good choice, I don’t feel warm and fuzzy about the prospect of being turned into some horror creature goop because I happened to walk down the wrong alley.
The Vision.
Indestructible, level-headed, compassionate mind-reader? All the world’s big problems would be solved overnight.
(Assuming no Corvus Glaive)
Oh that’s not fair, Leslie Knope is the public servant we all deserve.
I’ll throw in a few.
I want Dr. Cox and JD to be my medical team, the two of them would do everything they could.
I want my local burger shop to be Bob’s.
And I wish Captain Holt was a real police commissioner.
I would not wish reality on bob.
I don’t know who you are, but I feel like we should be friends.
Just leave This song link here. No judgement.
Samuel Vimes commander of the Ankh-Morpork city watch (and Detritus so people have no choice but to do as he says).
Ahem!
His Grace, His Excellency, The Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch (and Blackboard Monitor)
(and Blackboard Monitor)
Still gets me every time. The best Dwarfs call each-other as each introduces themselves. And that Vimes introduced himself this way in an un-filtered moment implies it matters to him, deep inside.
God.
… the good and forgiving one. Not the other.
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
Say what you will about Idiocracy, but President Camacho knew his country was suffering a problem and he found the smartest man in the world, hired him, and put him to work to resolve it. If only we could get Trump to care this much.
He also tried to execute him, but yeah, generally cool.
Victor von Doom.
If we’re going for authoritarianism, at least let’s have someone competent in charge.
The famously competent Dr. Doom, who put scalding hot metal directly onto his face because he was in such a rush to become a cool mask guy?
The Monarch has more "W"s under his belt than Doc Vic.
How about the Kharak?
The what now?
Crimson King, lovely fella.
Seems to be something from that SCP thing?
What does that have to do with anything?
Did you reply to the wrong post?
Don’t even try to pull that shit on me.
I seriously have no idea what you’re going on about, but you’re starting to sound like you forgot to take some kind of medication.
Robin Hood.
Superman bc he was created originally to fight Nazis.
He at least took out the KKK. And helped do that irl
I am not too deep into the lore of Superman, but is it possible that you mean Captain America? Or is there something about Superman and nazis?
Superman was created in 1938, so it’s not surprising that he’d end up fighting Nazis within a few issues
As I recall it, the original Superman concept was a kind of inversion of the Nazi Ubermensch ideal. Pretty sure that’s where the name came from.
In 1938, when Hitler’s (Nazi) racism was rising in Europe, two Jewish guys created Superman in response. His Krypton name is Hebrew.

Pretty nazi character tho
The word you are looking for is didactic. He was very didactic, indeed. But didn’t kill or jail people or deny human rights bc of color or religion.
He was pretty nazi, in the Ubermensch sense of the word. A godlike, infallible upstanding moral (white) American, spreading peace through violence, as a blatant propaganda tool to sell people on the supremacy of the American dream and American exceptionalism.
Never heard that definition put so well. Maybe you should add it to the urban dictionary.
Dictionaries should stay apolitical, even the urban ones.
God.
Specifically the version of God that is simultaneously all good, all knowing, and all powerful.
Were our universe created by such a being, evil could not exist: our reality would be very, very, very different compared to the dumpster fire that we all get to experience.
Yeah, would be nice if there actually was someone looking out for you…
I was going to say that I kind of wish The Devil existed, because then we would know that truly horrible people would eventually face damnation, and in a way it’s nice to imagine that cosmic justice could exist.
almost all the GOD in media portrays very similar to the bible ones, cruel, amoral, highly apathetic, and wrathful, probably as way to not upset snowflake christian viewers.
“Good” is a fickle word
In this context, all good = the complete absence of evil.
“Evil” is likewise fickle.
…malevolent? You get the gist of what I’m shooting for.
Like a personal god who would always be there to chat and help you out, that would be nice too.
Agree, but I was think more like the Greek gods. They’re far more interesting.
You can reason with Greek gods. I appreciate that.
Interesting definitely, but idk about actually living under that lore… Top boss God is a horny mofo that’ll stick it in anything with a hole, with or without consent, sometimes immediately after shapeshifting into a bull or something; and all of the other gods are some degree of petty or mischievous.
…which honestly is kinda how life is under the US government, so… pass!
That happens like, once per century tops.
My Canadian girlfriend.
