OP
(Anonymous) 2015-06-09 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)Like in Harry Potter, people who say Remus or Sirius are their favorites, I just don't get it at all.
Not that it's bad or anything, just that there's no way they could ever be my favorite characters.
Maybe it's worth mentioning that I can't enjoy a work unless I find the main character interesting. They don't have to be a nice person (example:Light Yagami from Death Note) but I have to be invested in them or I'll just end up dropping the work.
Secondary characters alone can't make up for that. For me at least.

I agree with that to a large extent, though there have been a couple of things I kept up primarily for a secondary character. The main character is getting the most screen time, and if that screen time is dull and/or actively annoying, it's difficult to keep up with the work. But at the same time, even if I find the main character likable and/or interesting enough to be going on with, that still doesn't guarantee that they'll be my favourite. Maybe they will be, or maybe I'll just like them enough to be happy with the plot while my true loves will be other characters. The latter happens more than the former with me.

(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 08:56 am (UTC)(link)If I had to like the main character in everything I read or watched I honestly can't think of a single book or movie or game or TV series I'd get through. Honestly, not one. The main character usually has to be pig-headed and a bit stupid, or at least naive, just to drive the action (Harry Potter, Thor, Vaan from FFXII, that girl from Beetlejuice, Phoenix Wright etc.) and that's the type I like the least.
