Did Disney give you a hero complex?

Eh, it gave me the idea that everything just works out in the end as long as I'm not obsessed with money and utterly and totally devote myself to a pampered princess.

Life however, disagreed.

I avoided Disney as if it were radioactive when I was a kid. Instead, I read Homer. What good did being a hero among heroes do Achilles once he was dead? Of what use was being a legend in his own lifetime?

If I had anything resembling a hero complex after reading Homer as a young man, it was because of a lasting influence from playing Final Fantasy IV. Cecil wasn't a hero because he saved some blushing princess, but because he questioned orders, suffered for it, and set out to atone for his crimes.
