It's an interesting thought, but I see an issue with it.

I think (but have not done research) that people people generally *want* their heroes to be larger-than-life. We see lots of ordinary people in ordinary circumstances every day, people who back down from a challenge, or people who do the bare minimum to get by. Star Wars would have been exceedingly dull if Luke Skywalker had decided to just stay on the moisture farm and go into the family business. If Boudica had just stayed quiet and done nothing, nobody would even remember her name (and she'd make an AWESOME subject for a film, so long as Frank Miller wasn't doing it).

And that is, I think, where your proposal falls down.
