This is normal for an aspie right?

Anyone here pretend they are fighting bad guys out of films or tv in a fictional universe? I love to imagine i'm fighting huge wars and battles out of lord of the rings, star wars or battlestar galactica etc.

Yeah I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly did. I spent a portion of my preteens believing I was Rikku from FFX. I would pretend I was fighting some boss/fiend in the lounge and I would copy her moves and voice exactly. Of course, I did this when everyone was out of the house and I don't do this anymore...well...not frequently

When I was a child I used to go to the playground at the local park and pretend to be in a James Bond film at the bad guy's compound. I would pretend I was James Bond and I would make believe I was fighting bad guys in the playground (compound). Like every James Bond film, I would pretend I was rescuing a girl whom I had to save from the bad guy. I had a lot of fun. I played with other imaginings similar in nature to the typical James Bond concept. It was especially fun in the snow because then I could jump and roll around and "evade bullets being shot at me" from the bad guys. James Bond was one of my obsessions back in 4th-5th grade.

I think this is just normal, for everyone, but especially males of any age!

It was normal for me.

I walk around the house doing my karate moves.

Definitely normal. Many people on the spectrum have an above average ability to fantasize, so you could argue that it's even "more" normal for us...

^^ Yaye, I certainly love to do so indeed. However, more so within my happy head as opposed to physically. ^^ When I was a child, my parents were often upset as I would often pretend that they were villains I believe. My family possess a little video of me swinging round a teddy bear, hitting my sister with the teddy bear and shouting "Get you, suckers!". I believe this is certainly mean of me however. ^^ Also, I happily enjoyed Power Rangers when I was a child and possessed a White Power Ranger Costume. ^^ Alas, I believe this happy behaviour occurs a very large amount among humans.

I did this up until about third or fourth grade. And they say aspies can't play imagination games!

I still do this sometimes I have a phantom limb sensation that I'm holding a weapon or wearing armor its just a credit to how
creative we can be

I have never imagined fighting bad guys, but as a kid I often imagined being a fictional character from eg. a book I had read. In several cases to the extend of an obsession.
