I agree completely with your idea, there will always be consequences and we all know that the mind is very fragile, so there could be no individual that always stays the same. People that fight until the end for their ideals while changing and maybe going through some dark phases are the best 'heroic' characters.A character who is so idiotically good that he ignores lessons, consequences, and reality is not a good character, and rather irritating. But the ones who wrestle with their ideals and try their best to implement them while learning from experience, and while not being crushed by a darker reality around them, can be admirable.
they're a relic of the past, things we can look back and say "hey, that's a great step taken into heroic archetypes. a good stepping stone for more advanced and deeper characters in stories and narratives"
they are not meant to be brought back and should've stayed back in their Fist of the North Stars and Stardust Crusaders
Personally, I love those kinds of characters. But we need more characters who are more like Spiderman.
Relatable heroes that we understand why they are doing the things that they do. That it's the right thing to do. Not because someone told them that it's the correct thing to do.
That's my two cents tho.
But, wasn't Uncle Ben who taught Spiderman to be more responsible with his strength?
But batman himself ain't such a deep character. it's the Joker that juxtaposes him and gives him the character development he needed. By himself, batman is... okayishActually, people with this kind of heroic type could also be an advanced and deeper character, batman for example.
Err... I think that's what you need to develop? Someone or something that could change your life?But batman himself ain't such a deep character. it's the Joker that juxtaposes him and gives him the character development he needed. By himself, batman is... okayish
But that is just my Opinion©®™
but how about a character it of in itself, on its own merits? default guts from berserk chapter 1 is a pretty decent character without the development, and so is default Henry from silent hill 2. default batman, even after his parents' death, still seems like a typical generic superhero to me, albeit with a little twists here and there to keep him interestingErr... I think that's what you need to develop? Someone or something that could change your life?
