"It's an oxymoron to refer to such a person as a "hero"."
Such a person who rises above his limitations to do right is a hero.
"a Hollywood mindset that wants to tell us there aren't any heroes."
And yet Hollywood manages to turn out film after film with protagonists who perform heroically. Hmm... What it probably is, is a producer who has looked at the recent successes of Batman and Iron Man; both are highly flawed characters who occasionally act like idiotic doofuses, but are trying to do the right thing in tough circumstances.
