Question

1.) How does the proverbial Russian definition of a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more", apply to Christopher Reeve?

2.) What sets Po, the hero of Kung Fu Panda, apart from the traditional archetypal hero?

Answer 1

The Russian proverbial definition of a hero applies to Po because he is a random panda that gets picked to be the "Kung Fu King Warrior".
