AYRT

Tbh, I feel the same way as you, but I think I'm having trouble describing what I'm picturing in my head in words. It's not like those movies and I'm not picturing the guy winning or kicking ass at all anyway, more like pathetically railing against the system and murdering mooks violently without actually changing anything and quiet despair all around. Rarely are heroes portrayed as pathetic and that's something I'd like to see I guess.

I think this is where we get into the "what's the difference between a hero and a protagonist" right. Heroes are supposed to be someone we look up to; shitty protagonists abound.

I suppose. On the other hand, one can be a failed hero as well. I wasn't imagining a badass power fantasy from the start, which is where it got lost, I think. The guy in question wasn't supposed to be the main character, I was imagining it as one of the companions in the party the hero keeps wanting to kick out. I suppose that wasn't obvious. I'm a little woozy on medicine right now, sorry.

[ariakas]

Yeah no worries. I was confused because there are people who do think that aging up the protagonist is somehow subverting this trope and I got lost in the weeds there.

No, I'm on the same boat as you, all 20-50 white generic badass register similarly to me Half the time the only difference is palette swapping the hair to be grayer and they all have the builds and faces of 20 year olds anyway which gets weird. They also all have tragic pasts but don't have any of the real symptoms of extreme emotional trauma either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think what I may really be looking for is something that addresses what a sad and unhelpful response "imma murder them all" usually is, and how in reality one person vs the system can't murder enough to make a difference if they tried
