I don't know what your stance is besides that if a hero shows any hesitation of being a hero, you consider the work to be nothing but trite. But each work is a case-by-case.

Take Sherlock Holmes (BBC) for example. Sherlock is the definition of eccentric, but he has traits that, while not agreeable,  are still relatable to the audience in a way that you want to see more. There are plenty of eccentric characters who are popular but that's because there's something about them that audience can connect with.
