Is Han Solo over-rated?

The infallible hero…

Something caught my attention the other day, it was a post on here talking about a young Han Solo being part of a Star Wars side story and that there are no actors these days who can fill Harrison Ford’s boots.
The very essence of Solo is the fallible hero… like John McClane or even Martin Riggs.
The hero that has faults, weaknesses and that loses his cool, his temper and occasionally a limb or even his life.
The hero that often ends up in peril, and has to rely on others or even has to sacrifice something to uphold his own moral code, even if it means losing his temper.

John McClane who took on bad guys with no shoes on, ends up injured to hell and eventually even hangs a guy from the rafters using chains
MacReady in The Thing, a guy who suffers watching his friends die and inadvertently has to sacrifice himself to destroy the creature
Rocky Balboa who lost his big shot and even eventually ended up with brain damage
Rambo who was a temperamental and tortured soul, eventually lost his rag and took out an entire town
Han Solo, a self-promoter and pathetic ladies’ man who ended up frozen in Carbonite
Martin Riggs, another tortured soul with temper problems and a psychotic undertone, who ended up near death after being shot several times
Chief Brody and even Quint who both chased everyone’s favourite shark and found themselves in above their heads
Indiana Jones, a man who is tough but beatable, who then winces like a girl when his girlfriend patches him up

… these are heroes that are no longer seen.

Movies of years gone by had that. Sure there were a few examples that went against the rule, Steven Seagal and Van Damme are the prime examples of older heroes who were infallible.
So why is it these days, we are treated to nothing but infallible heroes like Richard B Riddick, the new John McClane who appeared in Die Hard 4 & 5, Bryan Mills in Taken, Rick McConnell from The Mummy series… heroes who go on a relentless and unstoppable march of victory with little peril to befall them?

Could Martin Riggs, a hero with a massive fault exist in cinema today?
A guy with serious mental issues and a temper control problem… a hero that at one point, was shot to **** and was near killed before having to rely on his friend to save him?

Is it because there are no actors around these days willing to be shown as weak? No dashing, wisecracking, fallible heroes anymore?
Does everyone really want to become JCVD and Seagal?

Who knows… all I know is, the golden age of cinema, the 70s and 80s, gave us heroes with weaknesses…

… and those heroes, were the mightiest of all.
