>>151868468Someone give me a single good reason I shouldn't absolutely despise her after how much she ruined Treetrunks wedding.
>>151868468Mmmmm, big full PB tummy...
>>151868587Treetrunks is an even bigger bitch
Thinly veiled fat thread?
>>151868468This happens to so many shows now that i genuinely think writers just don't like their MC's anymore.
>>151868692Side characters become beloved by the audience. Nott and Jester pretty much conquered "Mighty Nein".
>>151868692A lot of the time what happens is that a writer creates a main character that has to be beholden to a certain set of limitations to ensure they remain acceptable by the audience, laboring under the belief that no one wants to follow a main character who wins too easily or has too complicated of a backstory. These static MCs remain a vessel for the audience to explore the world, but they rarely have anything resembling deep personal drama, which is important when writing compelling and intriguing stories. Thus, when writing side characters who do NOT have these limitations, the writers are allowed to write deeper and more complex characters, ones that are far more interesting to develop. And thus, the MC gets left by the wayside in terms of character development.
>>151868795Rumi was the best MC in "KPop Demon Hunters" because she had the most compelling dynamic. The half-demon. The secrets, the family angst, the hypocrisy, the identity issues, etc.
>>151868675Sometimes bad people make a good point. >PB ruins a wedding where nobody is doing anything wrong >treetrunks calls her out on it >PB jails everyone for the mere suggestion she was wrong and receives no punishment for it. Youd have to be the most delusional PB Stan to think she was in the right there.
>>151868675treetrunks is just a retard, PB is an actual sociopath and the only reason she isn't treated as a villainous character is because she's the showrunner's heckin girlboss favorite
>>151868880Out of curiosity, how is PB a sociopath? Do tell.
>>151869037She tortures people for fun, feels no sympathy, and punishes people who question her. That fits the bill pretty aptly.
>>151869037She's a high-functioning cluster B type with flexible, albeit present, morals. Hell, all of the gum people are fucked in the head in some way.
>show has literall psycho ruthless villains>people prefers to shits on female characters
>>151869443You can shit on multiple characters at once, Einstein. Other awful people existing in the series doesnt stop PB from being a horrible person.
>>151870014But anon she's a female character so none of her negative traits and actions should be actually taken seriously or held accountable for.
