Typically, heroes are seen as the “good guys” who are brave, courageous, and save others. Tragic heroes are not the same kind of the hero's we usually think of. Although they do have positive, heroic qualities, they commit actions that cause a downfall, which later leads to a spiritual or literal death. A tragic hero must convey certain characteristics. One is that they are of noble and high placement in the world. They also must have a tragic flaw that could be either positive or negative. Another characteristic is a reversal of fortune or a downfall due to their tragic flaw. After committing the action, the tragic hero is more self-aware of what they did wrong. They learn from their experience through a spiritual or literal death. Matt Lauer demonstrates the characteristics of being a modern-day tragic hero due to his recent actions that was caused by his tragic flaws of pride and confidence.

Although heroes are historically thought of as being the "good guys," sometimes cinematic elements can portray a character who isn't the most virtuous as a "hero." Deadpool (2016), directed by Tim Miller, is about the witty anti-hero and mercenary, Wade Wilson. In a desperate attempt to save his life and relationship from dying to terminal cancer, he agrees to let the evil scientist, Ajax, transform him into what Wade thinks is a "superhero." Ajax tricks him, torturing and disfiguring him into a mutant. Wade later creates the identity for his anti-hero self as "Deadpool" and sets out to seek brutal revenge on Ajax and his clan. While Deadpool's revenge and occasional impulsive murder of others is not an honorable attribute, the camera angles, slow-motion effects, and music cues the audience into viewing him as a hero.

In a typical hero’s myth paradigm, the hero begins in what is known as the Ordinary World where they are living a normal life, but there is something that does not seem right to them. In Seger’s essay, in the first stage of the hero’s myth, the hero is presented to the viewers in normal surroundings where he/she is a lesser version of himself/herself, doing normal things before the adventure begins. The main purpose of introducing the Hero in the Ordinary World is to create a vivid contrast with the strange new world that he/she is about to enter. In Finding Nemo, Marlin is living in an anemone with his son, Nemo, under the deep, blue sea--unaware of the adventure that awaits them. It’s the beautiful Great Barrier Reef, and yet it is also very
