Leslie Knope for me!
Oh that’s not fair, Leslie Knope is the public servant we all deserve.
I’ll throw in a few.
I want Dr. Cox and JD to be my medical team, the two of them would do everything they could.
I want my local burger shop to be Bob’s.
And I wish Captain Holt was a real police commissioner.
I would not wish reality on bob.
Holt is a treasure!
“Wunch time is OVER! Bam, got it both ways.”
Vin-di-CATION!
I don’t know who you are, but I feel like we should be friends.

We are actually watching Brooklyn 99 right now!
99!
Great show
We are actually watching Brooklyn 99 right now!
I hope you’re having fun. Because I specifically requested it.
The president from the West Wing. You know a politician who cared and did the right things despite optics
It’s too depressing watching that show
Also John Goodman’s character, Speaker of the House I believe, he was an honorable Republican. Pure fiction that show.
He immediately came in and started trying to cut taxes. Also was in a massive rush to drop bombs on countries. Not sure he was that fictional.
He was honourable.
Realistic show.
John Goodman is such a boss, what a fan fucking tastic actor. Magical.
His body of work is incredible. His work with the Coen Brothers alone is amazing.
And instead we get politicians worse than VEEP. Ouch.
Far worse
Oh, that’s a good one!
Mr. Smith from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington for even more stars in the eyes.
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
Say what you will about Idiocracy, but President Camacho knew his country was suffering a problem and he found the smartest man in the world, hired him, and put him to work to resolve it. If only we could get Trump to care this much.
He also tried to execute him, but yeah, generally cool.
Robin Hood, but modernized as a 21st-century hacker type so that he can cope in today’s world. But I’d still like him to look like he belongs in an edgy 90s movie, complete with green tights, for authenticity’s sake.
Elliot (Mr Robot)
Hacker Robin Hood obvs. rocking programmer socks
Superman.
Yeah, that’s an obvious choice, but I like his character more than his superpowers. He’s civil and polite to various world governments, but ultimately, there’s no stopping him from doing the right thing.
If he’s too powerful and that’s a negative to you, substitute Captain America. The same reasoning applies.
World could use a good guy right now.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, and I only know the MCU version of Captain America, but he gave me republican vibes (conservative, puritan, trying to make a coup if he believes he’s right, …)
And yes I do realize that originally he was created as the ultimate antifa warrior
Yeah original comics Captain America would be called a woke commie by most MCU fans nowadays.
You stole my answer. Save us Superman!
Luthen Rael from Star Wars Andor. We need people like him right now.
Many exist like him, we just don’t see them BECAUSE they’re like him
We could always use at least one more.
God damn Andor really is the only good thing that came out of star wars in the last 10 years or even more
Rogue One came out 9 years ago
Bad Batch was better in my opinion
Samuel Vimes commander of the Ankh-Morpork city watch (and Detritus so people have no choice but to do as he says).
Ahem!
His Grace, His Excellency, The Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch (and Blackboard Monitor)
(and Blackboard Monitor)
Still gets me every time. The best Dwarfs call each-other as each introduces themselves. And that Vimes introduced himself this way in an un-filtered moment implies it matters to him, deep inside.
My Canadian girlfriend.
The Doctor from Doctor Who. It’d be nice to think we were all being simultaneously respected, cared for, and defended by someone smarter and kinder than most of us.
While a good choice, I don’t feel warm and fuzzy about the prospect of being turned into some horror creature goop because I happened to walk down the wrong alley.
I wouldn’t want to attract his/her enemies.
The person I know I could be.
There’s still time…
Vaporeon.
Whelp, that’s my internet quota for the day.
Superman bc he was created originally to fight Nazis.
I am not too deep into the lore of Superman, but is it possible that you mean Captain America? Or is there something about Superman and nazis?
In 1938, when Hitler’s (Nazi) racism was rising in Europe, two Jewish guys created Superman in response. His Krypton name is Hebrew.
https://leviathanjewishjournal.com/2016/12/05/kal-el-vessel-of-god-the-jewish-tradition-of-superman/
Superman was created in 1938, so it’s not surprising that he’d end up fighting Nazis within a few issues
As I recall it, the original Superman concept was a kind of inversion of the Nazi Ubermensch ideal. Pretty sure that’s where the name came from.
He at least took out the KKK. And helped do that irl
Pretty nazi character tho
The word you are looking for is didactic. He was very didactic, indeed. But didn’t kill or jail people or deny human rights bc of color or religion.
He was pretty nazi, in the Ubermensch sense of the word. A godlike, infallible upstanding moral (white) American, spreading peace through violence, as a blatant propaganda tool to sell people on the supremacy of the American dream and American exceptionalism.
Never heard that definition put so well. Maybe you should add it to the urban dictionary.
Dictionaries should stay apolitical, even the urban ones.
God.
Specifically the version of God that is simultaneously all good, all knowing, and all powerful.
Were our universe created by such a being, evil could not exist: our reality would be very, very, very different compared to the dumpster fire that we all get to experience.
almost all the GOD in media portrays very similar to the bible ones, cruel, amoral, highly apathetic, and wrathful, probably as way to not upset snowflake christian viewers.
But also because that’s the only way evil in the story can actually exist, and thus actually reflect the suffering and conflict in real life. The Triple-O God can’t exist, as evidenced by gestures at everything
Even if the Christian God was real, Omnibenevolence is the first characteristic to be dropped, as the Bible already depicts a cruel, wrathful, egotistical and petty God.
Agree, but I was think more like the Greek gods. They’re far more interesting.
Interesting definitely, but idk about actually living under that lore… Top boss God is a horny mofo that’ll stick it in anything with a hole, with or without consent, sometimes immediately after shapeshifting into a bull or something; and all of the other gods are some degree of petty or mischievous.
…which honestly is kinda how life is under the US government, so… pass!
That happens like, once per century tops.
You can reason with Greek gods. I appreciate that.
I was going to say that I kind of wish The Devil existed, because then we would know that truly horrible people would eventually face damnation, and in a way it’s nice to imagine that cosmic justice could exist.
Yeah, would be nice if there actually was someone looking out for you…
i’m glad you wrote it before i did : your take is much more detailed and thaurough than mine on this idea.
“Good” is a fickle word
In this context, all good = the complete absence of evil.
“Evil” is likewise fickle.
…malevolent? You get the gist of what I’m shooting for.
Like a personal god who would always be there to chat and help you out, that would be nice too.
Ted Lasso
We all need that kind of positivity
Fred Rogers was Ted Lasso, from what I’ve heard. Relentlessly encouraging, always on-mission, no dark side.
Captain planet (he’s our hero) (gonna take pollution down to zero)!
We could really, really use an environmentalist power that isn’t beholden to any nation or company.
