Seems fairly long winded at this point for something so simple. Surprised it's still going on.

Anyway, I've probably said before but as with all tropes it depends on how it is handled. If handled right a blunt, straight to the point and dedicated kind of hero and story can work excellently. Other times it can flop.

Same can be said for the trope this thread is about, I've certainly seen instances where I felt the same way. Execution is the key to success for just about any concept as I see it.
