Grumble grumble grumble not all fantasy / SF needs to be adventure fiction with clearly defined heroes and villains grumble

[sarillia]

My first thought too.

[(Anonymous)]

But they should have strong characters, and even if the conflict is derived from a situation, then the situation itself should be able to present an interesting challenge. No one character should dominate all others.

[(Anonymous)]

+1, agreed.

(eyes her morally grey characters with much love)

This grumbling made me laugh. Thanks nonnie!

Also, yes I agree.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know how you got that from "interesting".

[(Anonymous)]

A hero is only as good as the villain he is facing. And vice versa.

This is why so many movies these days are weaksauce for me. One of the pair is always flat and the director or writer in love with the other. Makes it uninteresting. I'm sure you all know which major movie franchise I'm referring to.

[(Anonymous)]

Not sure if Star Wars or MCU.

[(Anonymous)]

Could be DCCU or Tolkien tho.

[(Anonymous)]

Is the standard Marvel villain still a big beam of light from the sky?

[(Anonymous)]

You're entitled to your opinion but I've enjoyed plenty of heroes who are facing less than well-written antagonists, and vice versa. I don't even understand this logic, unless the greatness of a character is defined by their health bars in all that "who would win in a fight"/"I'm the intellectual who finds all the plot holes" spouted by boring fans who couldn't write a good story to save their ass.

DA

I think that all characters that get decent amounts of screen time/page time in your story need to be well rounded and interesting. Flat characters just don't cut it for me. Flat characters, to me, are bad writing.

[(Anonymous)]

For me it's more that, in a story that does have clearly defined heroes and villains, I have trouble buying that a hero is supposed particularly heroic and amazing and admirable if the villain they're fighting is just ridiculous or dull or unintimidating. If you want me to root for your hero, you have to have him go up against a serious threat.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a good point, but tbh I hope that all the major characters are comparably interesting, regardless of genre or whether or not they're a good guy vs. bad guy.
