For a while in college, I was very enamored with Jason Dean, the jerkface teenage villain of ‘Heathers’, a film which all the cool kids were totally into in 1990. For the twenty-something version of your humble MS-QOTD, though, he was a snarky anti-hero and quasi-role model whose trench coat and Jack Nicholson sneer were the epitome of cool. For the forty-something version, however, he’s truly embarrassing, like high school poetry and my collection of Hawaiian shirts, leading to today’s once upon a query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) is also not proud of how much twelve-year-old me gushed over that cool Wolverine, but that’s a different kind of embarrassment, asking: Which fictional character is the hero you regret idolizing the most?

Anything Star Wars. My disappointment at RotJ has only dwindled into actual dislike as the relentless movies and comics and TV shows have propagated. Ick.
