Captin America Archetype analysis

The film "Captin America"  has many archetypes embedded with in it, but before my analysis I read the title and it makes me think of a super hero. Luckly I was right, and the trailer seems to be the classic "good vs evil",but it doesn't seem to give you an ideia of who the enimey is. The trailer begins with a scrawny man who seems to have had a bad past, but he's given a second chance as he is morphed  into a super hero through a machine.One archetype I noticed is "the task", and usally when somone has a task it referes to people who are speacial or have super abilities (EX-Superhuman). When looking at the main hero, the color of his clothes represent the American flag, and if we know anything about the American flag the red stands for hardiness and valor, white is innocence and purity, and blue is vigilance, justice, and perseverance. So I am guessing the colors would represent his characteristics and morals. One strange thing about the movie I found out is in the beginning he is using a garbage can lid as a shield from the guy because he doesn't seem to have selfconfedence in protecting himself, and though out the movie he uses a shield. Could this mean inside he still thinks he's weak, that he's hiding behind the shield ignoring what he really is?

Note: This character has been reborn many times in movies, comics, and books. This is not the first time this character has been released. 

Midnight?

I watch a lot of movies and, I mean A LOT! But one thing I noticed in the traditional archetype is that most wishes end at midnight. You know, the really miserable people who are happy till midnight.

One thing I don't get is fairies or magical things are there to help you, not to embarrass you. For example in the tale of Cinderella when she was told she couldn't go to dance by her step mother but, at later on she meets a fairy who told her that she will grant her wishes if she breaks the rules just to go to the dance. So the story goes she accepts the wish and has fun time dancing it off but, as soon as midnight strikes all the enchanted stuff she has disappears into thin air and, embarrassed herself in front of everyone. MAN THATS MEAN! The fairy should have at least gave her till 3 o'clock or 4.

With all the movies there seems to be a common difference with all the wishes ending in midnight. Some characters used the wish to permanently affect their life (EX-Cinderella wishes fancy clothes and gets prince) and, some realize in the end that their lives are perfect just the way it is (EX Shriek finds out that ogres can achieve love not, just humans). So here are some thoughts I have why wishes may end at midnight.
- Maybe a test to see how responsible you are with the wish to see if you still have your morals.
- Or its could be the start of the day. kind of like a cycle because no two days are the same.

So tell me do wishes have anything to do with Roman or Greek mythology? And give me a reason why you think wishes in fairy tales end at midnight.

Opposite of Our Regular Hero

Batman's a character that interests me. He doesn't seem to fall in the super hero archetype because of his lack of supernatural powers, but he does have a unique fighting style. Villains and heroes are affected by their past, but batman has kind of a twisted past. His parents were killed by a criminal after a movie they saw in the cinema, and from then he trained in China or India (seems to be an argument where he learned to fight so I put in both) to make Gotham City safer, so others don't suffer the same faith he did when he was little. Here's the twist tho; Think of a little kid who has no parents growing up, and we all know parents symbolize safety and guidance, so wouldn't he be growing up adopting the ideas of a criminal mind?

Fame, attention, and popularity is what the regular super hero gets, but Batman surprises me as he seems to avoid those things unlike his friend superman who's always in the media. Any ideas why? We all heard the old saying "brains beats brawns", and our regular hero uses brawn vs brawn, but Batman uses brain vs brain as all his enemies he faces are all highly intelligent such as Joker, Bane, and David. Any suggestions why other heros use their strenght and batman uses his mind?

Could batman or Bruce Wayne be a villain in disguise of a hero because Out of all the batman series I saw our hero seems to have have a mind of a criminal, and knows accurately what his enemy is doing. Is that why he runs away from the cops all the time? or the media so people don't find out his horrible truth about him.Is that why he doesn't fit in our regular heroic archetype?

What are you suggestions to these questions I have.

Clash of the Fairy Tales!!!!!!!

Have you ever sat there, and thought about a movie that doesn't follow the traditional archetype. Well I have, and found out that the movie Shrek and its chapters seems to be deifying the "rules". When we watch a movie the main character is usually a human or some creature that isn't feared or frowned upon, but in Shrek its an ogre, a creature in our story books that is feared because of his hunger for human flesh, and his savage behavior. An other thing is that is views fairies as "bad people", and considers them as human dealers (only helps humans). Do you thinks fairies only help humans, if so why, and give me an example? Last but not least why our character Shrek doesn't fit in the regular fairy tale is that, his damsel in distress is UGLY. Usually aren't they suppose to be elegant instead of an ogre? Don't fairy tales end cheerful breaking the curse with "true love". What makes shreks destiny different from other heroes in other fairy tales?

Sidekicks

Sidekicks are important in the heroes journey. This archetype is the protagonists best friends, he's always ready to devote his time and energy to whatever tasks is asked of him. And in return, he expects to be viewed lower, clumsy, and kidnapped repeatedly. But its all in a days work. There never seems to be a boundary of who your sidekick can be. It can range from a McDonalds worker to a high school teenager.

Batman would be a great example. With Robin being the sidekick and batman or Bruce Wayne being the master. They journey around Gotham, patrolling to make the streets safer for the civilians to walk. As both of them are expected to watch each others back, its usually the side kick who is being captured or kidnapped, as bait to lure the master in. Could the the way sidekicks mess up and stuff be a test or a challenge for the heroes journey? But there seems to be a confusion, is your sidekick your "friend or your enemy", as through out Lord of the Rings Frodos sidekick Golem uses him and lures him into traps just to get the ring. Does the idea of having a  sidekick make us rethink who we can trust and who we can't? Does this bring up a moral to the real world making us reflect on who is our friend and who isn't? What do you guys think?
