Youtuber The Critical Drinker did a good video about this character.
His thesis is essentially that we've always had heroes and that they give us something to aspire to. He then quite rightly asks what aspiration will this new character (actually a self-insert by the writer) give to people.
Here's Drinker's vid …

due to the many variables involved it has been difficult for science to predict how proteins fold to form their uniquely functional state.
proteins are built from individual amino acids up, coded by dna.
protein function is dictated by its shape and amino acid make up.
Good thread, Snare&Racket.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I found this - They [picornaviruses] are RNA life forms - interesting.
Are viruses actually life forms?
as imperfect and flawed capitalism is, it has worked better than other forms of economic and political systems-so far.
it’s very simple in “theory.” capitalism is an economic and-or, political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
in other words, keep government out of it as much as possible.
THIS IS THE MAIN REASON WHY SOCIALISM IS OVERCOMING CAPITALISM IN AMERICA - we must be careful how we use words.
Social projects aren't the same as socialism; in other words, Sweden isn't a socialist country. It's a capitalist country with a left-leaning electorate, hence the popularity of social projects. What you're talking about is the popularity of social ideas and projects. In the US, as well as in Sweden, these social projects can only be funded by capitalist profit.

do you all thing there should be a cap on how much ONE PERSON SHOULD BE REWARDED?
Should there be a cap on How Much Children of the Billionaire should receive as inheritance? - no, and no.
Equality of opportunity is essential but we must have unequal outcomes. If we don't have unequal outcomes we don't have freedom of choice or a free society at all.
The poor and disadvantaged need safety nets but as Thomas Sowell said 'how much of someone else's money that you didn't earn do you deserve?'
So, how much is Bezos worth? $20 billion?
Billionaires could give each person on Earth 3 dollars - what good would that do? Alcoholics will spend it on cans of beer.
Quite a few of the world's billionaires do put a lot of their money to good use through charities, as does the British Royal Family. The huge amount of money these people has enabled them to do good humanitarian work in a capitalist society.
when confronted with angus stewart’s blunt question “do you see yourselves as jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth?” the answer that came from jackson’s lips was astounding.. “that i think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.
the scriptures clearly show that someone can act in harmony with god’s spirit in giving comfort and help in the congregations, but if i could just clarify a little, going back to matthew 24, clearly, jesus said that in the last days ‐ and jehovah’s witnesses believe these are the last days ‐ there would be a slave, a group of persons who would have responsibility to care for the spiritual food.
so inthat respect, we view ourselves as trying to fulfill that role.”.
Theocratic warfare - Jackson was lying for the org, plain and simple.
The WTS has said many, many times that God uses only one channel - and that today He is using only the Governing Body.
Wako Jacko was just lying to Justice McClellan to cover the Society's ass.
Hopefully this disgraceful behaviour will wake up a few questioning JWs.
Addendum - notice, also, that Jackson doesn't give a direct answer. The question Angus Stewart put to him demands a straight yes or no answer. And Jackson didn't have the balls to give a straight answer.
A liar and a coward, TBH.
when i say; “socialist” i don’t mean everyone is equal.
instead i am referring to “leaders” being rich and powerful, whereas the ordinary citizen being poor, and powerless.. i was surprise that the majority of the world is run by socialist government.
the last few countries that are not socialist are the united states and parts of europe.
@Phizzy - did you post your comment using a socialist computer or a capitalist one? ;)
yeah, so my anticipation for this movie was very high a few months ago.
i didn't see it at the cinema, i was waiting for it on dvd.
i had heard that it was a horror film (my favourite genre) so my expectations were high.. when i finally saw it, i was a little disappointed, i gotta say.
Here's The Critical Drinker's take on this film …
hey, guys - how ya doin?.
so, what are your favorite movie clips?.
gimme your best movie clips, please, ladies and gentlemen.. here's one of mine ….
This is a good scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979).
John Cleese channelling a Latin schoolmaster, I think ...

Here's a great scene from The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
Throughout most of this duel, Vader is just toying with Luke.
Enjoy …
