History Main / AllLovinghero

* Victor Laszlo in ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''. It says something about him that the only person in the entire movie who isn't in complete awe and admiration of the utterly heroic and saintly resistance leader is the [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]] officer who has been sent to capture him, which is a [[AcceptableTargets ringing endorsement]] if ever there was one. When his wife, believing that he was dead, has fallen in love with another man, and his example is so powerful that that other man is eventually quite willing to sacrifice his one chance at happiness [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy by convincing her to stay with him]].

* Eriond in ''Literature/TheBelgariad'' and ''Literature/TheMalloreon''. He's a small child in the former, although he is very trusting and generous. (He's been raised to be a complete innocent so that he can handle The Orb, which tends to destroy anyone who touches it with less than completely pure motives.) By ''The Malloreon'' he's grown into the position. He's very mild in temperament, and even when he gets very angry (at one point they're in a Temple of Torak and a major sacrifice ritual (human, of course) is going on all he does is put out the temple fires -- since if the hearts can't be burned, there's no way to continue the sacrifices.)

* In Creator/JohnCWright's ''Literature/CountToATrillion'', Prince Ranier. Menelaus realizes that he should have realized [[spoiler:that he was dead]] when he saw a mural of an attack from their starship: the prince would never have countenanced it for any reason.

* Franchise/SpiderMan is compassionate enough to have teamed up and allied with almost every character.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':

* Po from ''Franchise/KungFuPanda'' is a hero who is good-natured and doesn't hate anybody, not even [[BigBad Lord Shen]] [[spoiler:who killed his parents and repeatedly tried to kill him. He still forgives him and even tries to help him let go of his own troubled past]].

* ''Fanfic/PeterParkerNeedsAHug'': Even after everything he's been through (including being betrayed, losing his mentors, and being ''blipped out of existance''), Peter is still a compassionate, helpful person who does everything he can to help everyone he can, even begging Red Hood to spare the life of a criminal who tried to kill Peter.

* Hiccup from ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon''. Believing that humans and dragons can co-exist will definitely make him this.
* Po from ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' is a hero who is good-natured and doesn't hate anybody, not even [[BigBad Lord Shen]] [[spoiler:who killed his parents and repeatedly tried to kill him. He still forgives him and even tries to help him let go of his own troubled past]].

* Aang from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. He just wants to befriend everyone and takes his role as peacekeeper very seriously, being one of the few people who are willing to give the Fire Nation a chance to redeem themselves.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': This version of Batman is like this, which is surprising given his [[GoodIsNotNice usual characterization]]. In addition to his ThouShaltNotKill rule, he pretty much always at least tries to SaveTheVillain, and often shows compassion towards the more sympathetic criminals (such as trying to catch ComicBook/HarleyQuinn without hurting her when he realizes she's just scared and confused, or offering to pay for [[Characters/BatmanTwoFace Harvey Dent]]'s plastic surgery, or trying to find a cure for Clayface's [[BodyHorror condition.]])

* Mabel of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' plays this trope straight, whereas her twin brother Dipper {{downplay|edTrope}}s it. She holds no ill will towards Pacifica even though she's a jerk to her, and tries being nice to her in return (especially shown in "The Golf War"). In general, she claims she doesn't need revenge to prove anything, she's nice and friendly to everyone and regarding her parties, everyone is invited!

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': Korra becomes an All-Loving Hero with time, learning to empathize with even her enemies.

** Pinkie Pie wants to be friends with everyone. If they hate her at first, she won't stop trying to get them to like her. All she wants is to make you smile![[note]][[DependingOnTheWriter depending on the episode]], this is either played straight, played for laughs, or parodied.[[/note]]
** Fluttershy acts like this as well, mainly towards animals but she does end up getting [[MadGod Discord]] to do a HeelFaceTurn because of her kindness.[[note]]On the other hand, this aspect of her character is parodied in the first season finale, when she briefly becomes [[MemeticMutation "Flutter-]][[BewareTheNiceOnes Rage"]].[[/note]]
** Celestia also deserves mention for being a UniversallyBelovedLeader, by sheer virtue of being kind to everypony. Just don't push it, as she has a breaking point and ''will'' throw somepony into Tartarus or exile them with a curse if that's what it takes to protect her subjects from them.
** Spike likes everyone. Not everypony, but everyONE. He invited Discord to he and Big Mac's event purely because he felt bad that the guy's only friend was leaving for a bit and has since gone on to be one of Discord's few genuine friends outside of Fluttershy, and he had zero hesitation about trusting and befriending the changeling Thorax, an act that led to saving Equestria via a HeelRaceTurn.

* Adora from ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' is righteous, kind and willing to give second chances to anyone as long as they prove to be deserving of it and trying to be better. She strives to be a beacon of hope for the people around her and will do the right thing no matter the personal cost. The only people she doesn't even bother giving the time of day are pretty much irredeemable [[spoiler:like [[BigBad Horde Prime]] and Shadow Weaver, with the former being a genocidal warmonger who has destroyed many worlds during his reign and the latter having acted as an {{AbusiveParents}} to Catra and Adora in the Horde and manipulated them since they were children]].
** Entrapta also fills the trope. In spite of her love for war machines, she treats everyone well, no matter if they belong to the Horde or the Rebellion. In Season 5, when she meets Catra again - after the cat electrocuted her and sent her to die at Beast Island, Entrapta doesn't go beyond scaring Catra with her tools, but forgives her when the cat apologizes. It is her kindness that gets Hordak [[spoiler: to have a HeelFaceTurn and go against his brainwashing to save her life.]]

** Leopold "Butters" Stotch. In a world known for [[TooDumbToLive Idiotic Sociopaths]], [[AntiHero Cynical Anti Heroes]], and {{Villain Protagonist}}s. Butters gets to serve as the most enduring NiceGuy in the series helping and saving the people he cares for and even people who hate him and want him to suffer.

* WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants. Sure, he may be found annoying due to his limited comprehension of people's personal space (especially Squidward's), but there's absolutely no malicious intents in his actions. He's very friendly towards everyone, helpful, very [[WideEyedIdealist optimistic]] (partly due to his naïvete) and wants nothing but everyone to be happy. There's a reason why the townsfolk prefer him over [[{{Jerkass}} Squidward]] and [[TheScrooge Mr. Krabs.]]

** [[KidHero Steven]] himself, who apparently inherited it from his mother, [[BigGood Rose Quartz,]] [[spoiler:[[GoodAllAlong aka Pink Diamond]]]]. It is often this quality that makes the difference in the Crystal Gems' battles, as it has allowed Steven to befriend Gems, such as Lapis Lazuli or Peridot, that might otherwise have been foes. He's also been shown to empathize with the monstrous corrupted Gems that are often the MonsterOfTheWeek. He has a hard time dealing with instances when his all-loving nature was not enough to resolve a conflict, such as the final episodes of Season 3 where Steven saw his help refused or had to fight in self-defense. The sole exception being Kevin, who is so unrepentantly disrespectful towards everyone that he is the only person, Gem or human, who Steven outright ''hates''.

* Elijah [[BeMyValentine Valentine]] in ''Literature/LastMage'' is a [[GeniusBruiser reasonable]], [[DeadpanSnarker slightly snarky]] guy who would make saint Augustine proud with how much he genuinely loves people. Even if they're idiots (just don't expect him to give the idiots much attention or responsibility while he's saving the world).

In the context of methods of climax fulfillment, this may be referred to as a "Love Hero." May overlap with ForHappiness as character motivation.

TheFool is sometimes the embryonic state of All-Loving Hero doubled as the IdiotHero. A MagneticHero has the intangible quality of earning respect and followers that some All-Loving Hero characters do but without needing the "love and forgive everyone" part. An All-Loving Hero who takes their idealism too far into {{Facepalm}}-worthy idiocy (like seriously trying to trade the ArtifactOfDoom if the villain [[ILied promises not to hurt anyone]]) may lapse into StupidGood or LawfulStupid, and they can also form into {{Kindhearted Simpleton}}s if they manage to help others thoroughly. If such a character has moments where they are NotSoAboveItAll or fall short of this standard, you're likely to be in front of a BrokenMessiah.

Although its previous trope name was The Messiah, this trope is '''not''' about Jesus-analogs; that's MessianicArchetype. While they and All-Loving Hero sometimes overlap, a character with the MessianicArchetype can be far-flung from being All-Loving Hero in mind and behavior.

* This is the defining trope for UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}. The whole "love your enemies" thing is the most obvious. The times when we see him angry are the ones where he's railing against those who fail to love anyone (other than themselves) and lead the people astray with their lies. Christians believe that Isaiah 53:2-11 is a prophecy of his eventual death for the sins of humanity.

** Entrapta also fills the trope. In spite of her love for war machines, she treats everyone well, no matter if they belong to the Horde or the Rebellion. In Season 5, when she meets Catra again - after the cat electrocutated her and sent her to die at Beast Island, Entrapta doesn't go beyond scaring Catra with her tools, but forgives her hen the cat apologizes. It is her kindness that gets Hordak [[spoiler: to have a HeelFaceTurn and go against his brainwashing to save her life.]]

** In ''ComicBook/WonderWomanDeadEarth'', this aspect of her character is given [[{{Reconstruction}} massive recontextualization and reexamination]]. Taking place in a BadFuture ravaged by an apocalypse that an amnesiac Diana discovers [[NiceJobBreakingItHero was apparently her own fault]], the story dissects the inherent disconnect between someone who unabashedly cherishes all humanity, but is also [[GoodIsNotSoft capable of great violence against the forces who threaten it]], including [[HumansAreBastards a large portion of humanity itself]]. The story ends up nevertheless reminding readers that her brutality is still very much rooted in a retaliation against cruelty, that her compassion and [[WideEyedIdealist hope in humanity's infinite potential]] is in fact her greatest strength, and that both are necessary [[HumansAreSurvivors if the world is to continue its survival]].

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Connie Brooks is a kind and caring person, who frequently goes out of her way to help her friends, pupils and even perfect strangers. An example of the latter occurs in "The Burglar". Here, Connie catches a man breaking into the house and raiding the refridgerator. Instead of turning him in, Connie and Mrs. Davis share breakfast with the man and get him a job filling in for the school custodian.
* ''Series/{{Oz}}'': Downplayed by Kareem Said. He's arrogant, prejudiced, and it takes a lot to get into his good graces, but he still tries to help any inmate who comes to him if he thinks they have a legitimate grievance no matter how diametrically opposed he is to their political views and lifestyles.

** In addition to being one of the strongest warriors, she is a walking avatar of love and peace.
** Part of the reason Wondy's villains are less known is because when she [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 started out]] she not only had a no killing rule, she also attempted to reform everyone she fought and was frequently successful in turning villains into allies.

** Celestia also deserves mention for having a HundredPercentAdorationRating, by sheer virtue of being kind to everypony. Just don't push it, as she has a breaking point and ''will'' throw somepony into Tartarus or exile them with a curse if that's what it takes to protect her subjects from them.

* ''Comicbook/XMen'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsProfessorX Professor Xavier]] is the voice of coexistence against [[Characters/MarvelComicsMagneto Magneto]]'s voice of separation. Even after all the battles with all the villainous mutants and all the plots by the villainous humans and even [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters the more numerous mundane everyday prejudice by]] {{muggles}} he still believes peaceful coexistence will happen. Any dark side he has is a case of DependingOnTheWriter (given the inconsistency of long-running comics and shifting AlternativeCharacterInterpretation).

** Harry is a more complicated example; he's got ChronicHeroSyndrome and he'll offer a second chance to almost everyone, unless he's on the point of losing his mind, and is known to express overwhelming compassion to extremely dangerous enemies (specifically, a LivingWeapon, [[spoiler: Maddie]]). Bucky notes in the sequel that in doing so, [[PowerOfTrust he's capable of]] bringing out the better natures of people who didn't even know that they ''had'' better natures. However, [[BewareTheNiceOnes he doesn't give third chances]], and in the sequel, he has a rampant case of [[ShellShockedVeteran PSTD]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', this is Downplayed. Mei is certainly [[BewareTheNiceOnes not immune to anger]], but she is a kind, compassionate girl who loves her friends, family, and animals in general, embraces all labels, and doesn't hold grudges, [[TurnTheOtherCheek quickly forgiving]] both [[MyBelovedSmother Ming]] and [[TheBully Tyler]] for everything they've done to her.

* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Jet, being new to Earth, loves ''everything'' about it, and is nice to everyone, including Mitchell Peterson, who bullies him and is out to expose his alien identity.
