noble heroes
Honorable brave figures
Noble heroes are protagonists characterized by courage, virtue, and self-sacrifice—the archetypal figures of myth, legend, and adventure stories who fight for worthy causes.
The phrase emphasizes moral uprightness alongside bravery: The film follows noble heroes defending their kingdom against invaders.
Often used earnestly in fantasy and historical fiction, but sometimes ironically to mock simplistic good-versus-evil narratives.
