but Bilbo finds a wealth of bravery
he didn’t know he was capable of and it surprises everyone.
He’s the unexpected hero that resonates with us all.”
Natasha Romanova, Black Widow
“She’s more than just a pretty face, she’s fierce and strong,
there is so much depth to Natasha. She outsmarts the villain and overcomes her own fears to keep fighting.”
Castiel
“I have a tremendous affection for Castiel. He’s a hurricane disguised as a man, he’s a divine force that shouldn’t be reckoned with. Yet he is gentle and kind, and has such an
enormous heart, an endless love for humanity.
Cas’ story is one of struggle,
of surviving, of persisting despite ones circumstances.
He’s an unfathomable Angel but so very human.”
Forrest Gump
“He perseveres through everything and has such an
inspiring capacity for love. If we were all a little bit
more like Forrest, the world would surely be a much
better place.”
Hermoine Granger
“I love her. She’s our generations’ idol to not
be worried about being smart. She shows us
that intelligence and education should be
embraced, that it’s important.”
Tony Stark, Iron Man
“He’s a superhero without any ‘superpowers’. The suit
isn’t a power, it’s science. He built it and he’s worked
hard to be the best he can be and he proves even
without it that it’s him that matters. Tony Stark. Who
struggles with PTSD and anxiety, and still saves the day.”
Captain Jack Sparrow
“Even when he’s being selfish you’re rooting for him,
he’s a pirate that doesn't steal, he commandeers.”
DCI John Luther
“Though he’s a policeman and he has morals and understands everything should be done by the law, he’s not afraid to go above it to do the right thing.
It’s the point that to do what’s right is sometimes harder and you’ll have to do it alone.”
Dr. Peter Venkman
“He’s witty and charming and actually loyal to fault. He laughs in the face of uncertain danger, whether he understands it or can actually see it, proof before assumption.
He’s his own personal hero and by God is he brilliant.”
Shaun
“He’s an everyday person, and everything he does is
not for himself but for those that he loves. It’s so
unexpected because he isn’t your archetypical hero.”
Christopher Tietjens
“I just admire him so much. He’s quietly courageous,
fiercely intelligent, selfless and doesn’t take fools lightly.”
Lt. Nyota Uhura
“Representation is so important and Uhura showed
me that I could achieve anything.”
