Leslie Knope for me!
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.
Oh, that’s a good one!
And instead we get politicians worse than VEEP. Ouch.
Far worse
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.
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
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
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…
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?
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.
In 1938, when Hitler’s (Nazi) racism was rising in Europe, two Jewish guys created Superman in response. His Krypton name is Hebrew.

He at least took out the KKK. And helped do that irl
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.
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.
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!
i’m glad you wrote it before i did : your take is much more detailed and thaurough than mine on this idea.
Like a personal god who would always be there to chat and help you out, that would be nice too.
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.
Vaporeon.
Is there a fictional character that kills billionaires? If so then that one.
“The Death”
Samwise Gamgee, Gandalf, and Aragorn from LOTR. Or just basically every sage/wise archetype character in stories. Need their wisdom to help me get thru life to prevent me from falling into another depressive episode.
R2D2. Would like a robot friend that makes funny beeps and boops sounds so I won’t be sad 24/7.
Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil (game), Dante and Vergil from Devil May Cry (game). They seem cool and are badass.
Smoking some pipeweed with gandalf would be sick Radagast and tom bobadil also have to bethere!
Might as well include every Hobbit and elf in the Tolkien universe to the list, too! Living in The Shire would be nice :)
I would rather life with the wood elfs to be honest
Victor von Doom.
If we’re going for authoritarianism, at least let’s have someone competent in charge.
The famously competent Dr. Doom, who put scalding hot metal directly onto his face because he was in such a rush to become a cool mask guy?
The Monarch has more "W"s under his belt than Doc Vic.
Lieutenant Commander Data.
Dale Cooper
Best I can do is Dale Gribble
You mean Rusty Shackleford?
