Onesome: Heroes-- from the movies? Who was your hero in a movie, TV show or book when you were growing up?
Hm. I'm not sure. If I have to think more than five seconds on this one, I probably don't have a hero (or heroine). The thing is, I don't think of a character as being my hero, merely a hero considering the context. And sometimes not even that--just a main character, a protagonist.
Twosome: and-- while we're at it: any 'new' heroes in any shows or books lately?
No.
Threesome: Villains-- can be "bad guys" or just plain scary; which one scared the heck out of you as a kid? (No flashbacks, please; just go for a bad guy if you'd prefer!)
It was in an old fantasy movie--some sort of tar monster living in the dungeon wanting to make out with the damsel in distress. I don't remember the title or who starred in it (or even what the plot was), but I thought it was pretty scary. Definitely scarier than that wussy entity that killed Tasha Yar in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
I was also pretty freaked out by the Incredible Hulk when I was three. But I guess that doesn't really count because the Hulk is not a bad guy.
