Stupid heroes and their stupid complexes.

I've noticed something lately. Something that bugs me. And what else are blogs for if not noting things that bug me.

Guys tend to have these stupid hero complexes. Whenever they have a villain out to get them, they feel like suddenly the girl they love is in danger. Understandable. But they, for whatever reason, think breaking up with the girl they love is going to solve something. IT ISN'T.

Even if you're not together, it's quite obvious you love her. Take Peter Parker for example.



He isn't even going out with MJ when the green goblin kidnaps her. He's loved her his whole life, and when she finally reciprocates his feelings he tells her no because she wouldn't be safe. HELLO? She wasn't safe anyway!! She still won't be safe because everyone knows you'd do anything to protect her. Who are you trying to kid?

And Harry Potter.



Voldemort takes Ginny to the Chamber of Secrets in book 2. Harry didn't even love her then. Then in book 6 Harry is truly happy for the first time in ages, then when Dumbledore dies he breaks up with her like that is going to solve something. Does he think Voldy is an idiot? He's still going to go after her! Doesn't he realize it's a tad suspicious that he breaks up with a girl right before dedicating his life to fighting Voldemort? Breaking up with her won't. help. anything!

Even in Twilight!



Edward leaves Bella because blah blah blah she's not safe with him. In this case the leading lady is a freaking baby and falls apart and ruins her own life (unlike Ginny, who sucks it up even though she loves Harry.) She shouldn't have to. There has got to be a different solution.

I don't know. This is kind of a weird thing to be annoyed with, but it has always just perplexed me. Why do the heroes think they can never love? It's silly. Just silly.
