What makes someone a legend? Who is a legend?

[truth-serum]

What makes someone a legend? Who do you consider a legend? I see a lot of dudes on here labeling anything and everything a legend from Kells to Shkreli

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

I don't know what makes a legend, but I know that R Kelly is one

 

[Master Zik]

R. Kelly is a legend **** is wrong with you?

One of the greatest artists in music when it's all said and done.

I thought maybe the Shkreli thread prompted this but mentioning him along with Kells aint gonna rock.

Being a survivor of a man made plague that turns humans into bloodthirsty mutants.

To me, a legend is someone who has made very significant accomplishments in his/her field and has made a lasting impact on the world.
I think it generally has a positive connotation but it doesn't necessarily have to be a good person.
I would consider someone like Pablo Escobar or Hitler a legend.

 

[serotonins]

young thug

 

[nazdrowie]

i m legend

 

[SC kid]

Hitler is a legend?!??

 

[Master Zik]

More like infamous.

Legend more times than not lends to the positive. However, it is based off the ppl's perspective. So if there is a group of ppl out there that feel like what Hitler did was good then they could then see him as a legend. Of course we're talking about horrible ppl like Klan members.

Pablo Escobar is a better example to struggle with cuz via movies and hip hop so many ppl champion and praise the drug trade and those that were the best at it.

I think dudes confusing infamous with legend

Hitler is a legend?!??

An infamous legend but yes. He's by all means a terrible person and certainly not someone I support in any way but that man has achieved incredible things in his field and he's a major part of Europe's history.
Same with Escobar and his impact on the world.
Infamous and legend aren't necessarily mutually exclusive to me.

That man brainwashed an entire nation. That's nothing short of legendary, as terrible as it may be.

Hitler was a great orator at the very least. His speeches rallied millions of Germans to believe in his bs. Granted he did this at the right time.

As far as history goes, I've never studied how good of a strategist, diplomat and overall leader he was so I can't say if the rise of the Nazis was all him or a combination of the ppl he put around him.

 

[tr1ll]

People who have unconfirmed-confirmed stories of greatness. Everyone's pretty sure its true, but no one really knows.

Bruce Lee.
Wilt Chamberlain(20, 000 bruh?)
Ozzy Osbourne

I guess you're right.
It just sounds weird lol.

I personally would never refer to hitler as a legend...probably never in my life.
I would call him a historical figure.

But i see youre reasoning and it makes sense.
