(Anonymous) 2023-06-02 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)I also see a lot of fans who WANT to like characters saying things like the writers "got them wrong" when writers are following through a consistent line in a character that perhaps isn't fandom's favourite factor, but has always been written into the story or its subtext.
This secret actually sounds like it has that problem and it's therefore quite difficult to understand what it's getting at. But basically, you're doing the same thing as what you're complaining about, OP. 👍
(FTR, I do believe there's a way to qualitatively determine whether or not a character succeeds in a story or is a successful contribution to a story, which is adjacent to being a qualitative 'this is a good character for this story' determiner, but I've never had the time or effort to sit down and parcel it out.
Factually speaking, I don't think it matters at all. We can love bad characters, badly-written characters, evil characters, unsuccesful characters, and everything in between. No need to pit characters against each other. Just enjoy what you enjoy, who gives a fuck.)
