I've been thinking...

And at this point I really look at movies differently in the sense that "main characters" don't always translate to "most important character". For example, in my opinion Sam is the hero of Lord of the Rings. Neville is the hero in Harry Potter. Han Solo (and Chewie, possibly the least appreciated character of them) are the most valuable heroes in Star Wars. I could go into detail but if you look overall at what these characters did versus the "main characters" in the movie you'll get it. If not then watch it again. If not that time, watch it again. SIDEKICKS FTW

Every Hero Needs a Sidekick

Every hero needs a sidekick. At least, that’s what I’ve always been told.

That the hero and the sidekick work together, save the day then both receive power and praise. I wish it worked that way. The reality is not what the story portrays.

In real life, the hero gets all the love and all the gold,  plus a pretty girl to make his wife, while the sidekick is left undersold, no grand change in his life.

The hero gets all the credit for the sidekick’s brains and brawn. The story gains a massive edit, one that leaves the sidekick...gone.

Soon enough that sidekick is forgotten, while the hero’s tale lives on. He gets to ride off, sitting on high cotton; the sidekick gets no happy denouement.

Every hero needs a sidekick. At least, that’s what I’ve always been told. I think I’ll change it up a bit that story’s getting old.

yep. my highschool had at least 4 pep rallies a year, in the middle of school time, with the band and cheerleaders and jocks all singing the national anthem. our colors were red, white, and blue, too, so it was the legit american experience

incredible

the most patriotic thing that ever happened at my school was assemblies every 4th of November telling us not to do anything illegal on mischief night

a lot of American high schools don’t even have home economics anymore, but some do, so the answer is sometimes lol
