Also, a hero and a protagonist are the same thing and a villain and an antagonist are not the same thing. Actually, heroes and protagonists aren't the same. The protagonist is the main character of a story. The protagonist does not necessarily have heroic intentions. The protagonist could have villainous motives. For example, in Despicable Me, Gru initially wasn't a hero, but a villain. However, he was still the protagonist of the movie. In addition, in How The Grinch Stole Christmas!, the Grinch was the main protagonist of the story, yet also the villain. Additionally, in SuperMarioLogan, Black Yoshi and Bowser are not heroes, but rather anti-heroes. Yet, they are still protagonists of SuperMarioLogan. In conclusion, the protagonist does not have to be the same as the hero. Therefore, heroes and protagonists should have different categories. Actually I think in How The Grinch Stole Christmas, wasnt the girl the protagonist. Nah, the Grinch was the protagonist, as the story was written through his point-of-view.
