No, I sympathize with characters all the time. I care more about characters than most people I know. Usually people around just watch a movie to kill time and either like it or don't. But I find favorite characters, fav moments, fav fight scenes, etc.

My problem is likely I like the idea of saving the world and being a hero I might not consider often enough that most people don't care that much. Most people will be okay with their life as long as someone else saves the world. And if if someone else fails, most people will be fine with it as long as their life is okay even in the aftermath. People aren't evil, but they more often than not the more realistic response people have is selfish and cowardly.

That's why people eat 'em the teen heroes in highschool whining about "just wanting to be normal and have a regular life" because most people if faced with a threat and told they are abnormal and can solve the problem, they're not going to say "SWEET! FINALLY!" Like I would.
