Obviously you people haven’t been watching enough Disney cartoons. See, here’s the way it’s supposed to work.

There’s this beautiful girl, who’s maybe just a little bit strange in one way or another and who just doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the crowd. Maybe she’s that fish who wants a nice pair of legs to go dancing, a girl who just wants to read some dusty old books in a forgotten library, or a princess who’s hidden away in a forest with a bunch of old fairies with color issues, some way smarter than usual fuzzy creatures, or seven short guys in serious need of a personal trainer. Point is, she’s beautiful and in need of some serious saving.

Now, since she obviously needs saving, then that means that there’s some butt ugly villain roaming around making her life a living hell. Like for instance, some strange looking woman who needs four pairs of shoes just to take a walk, a guy who thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips and who just wants to get hitched so he can say he’s got the hottest babe in town, a lady who’s got some serious hot salsa breath issues, or maybe just some bitchy queen who can’t handle the fact that she’s getting wrinkles and cellulite. Now, sometimes these people might not seem like villains, but they must be or else the beautiful girl wouldn’t be having all these damn issues.

Enter the hero. This would be the guy who risks his life to defeat the villain so that he can live happily ever after with the girl.

So, the hottie who ends up with the beautiful girl is the hero, and the dumbass who’s dead is the villain.

Duh.

I know, right? I mean everybody should know the answer to that question.

Seriously? I'm impressed.

I don't believe anyone's ever laid it out quite like that before.

*preens* Well it's perfectly obvious if you think about it. Especially since these kinds of people only really exist in fairy tales anyway by the strictest definition.

A pity, really. Since the world could do with a few more heroic types.

Yeah, it could. I suppose we'll just have to take care of ourselves until they come along.

You're quite right.
