Is there any example of an anti-Campbellian story, where hero successfully refuses the call to adventure and instead hangs around moping and reading news of Backup Chosen One, trying to not comment?
Frodo staying home, rolling his eyes at news of Pippin’s ringbearer screw-ups?

Isn't Wolverine based on this meh to your x-men duties attitude? His stories revolve around him eventually turning around and joining the fight.

Yeah I remember a lot of angered moping in the early comics to the extent that it built some self-awareness around my own moping 😆
