Does competency make a character seem "cooler"?
Yes. That's why movies aren't allowed to feature competent people anymore.
>>221245533If by being a Mary sue then no but if you mean competency followed by good writing then yes because it makes it coherent with the story being told.
>>221245533Kind of a no-brainer. In what situation does an incompetent character seem cooler by that trait itself?
>>221245533It's more accurate to say incompetency makes a character less cool
>>221247547The Dude is pretty cool.
>>221246514I hate how this term has come so full-circle that now a character who knows how to operate a can-opener and can open the can on the first try more than half the time is now called a "Mary Sue."
>>221245533is this the guy from inception or something?
>>221248543Sgt Barnes from Platoon
>>221245533Yes but the world is filled with incompetent people so its rare to see it.When presented on screen its like little zoom zooms are like 'whoa look at this chad'.Hence this thread.
>>221245533You can’t be considered competent if you’re willing to kill soldiers that know you should be standing before a judge for war crimes
Childhood is idolizing Elias. Adulthood is realizing Barmes makes more sense
>>221248609>war crimesno such thing to a soldieryou can attempt a trial if they even surviveno one cares in the moment
>>221248609He only killed traitors trying to sabotage the war effort. Elias was trying to make the machine break down, and when the machine breaks down, we break down.Barnes was a hero and a patriot, and did nothing wrong.

>>221248837Something doesn’t cease to not be wrong just because of it unfolding in the moment in tense conflict. My Lai was wholly unnecessary & evil
>>221249027>the guy who kills his own fucking comrade is not a traitor, but in fact a hero! tell me you never served without telling me you never served, virgin.
>>221248763The funny part about leftists is they never grow up. They have the mentality of children.
>>221250167>a guy more concerned with the well being of the enemy who just brutally killed 3 of his "comrades" in the most cowardly fashion, because they are women is somehow not the a traitor. Tell me you're a faggot without telling me you're a faggot, who serves in the new army, or is it navy? you homo
>>221248837>>war crimes>no such thing to a soldierYeah there sure as fuck is dumbass neverserved
>>221248763they were both in the right. they just had a miscommunication. everything was lt wolf's fault
>>221250406it's all so tiresome
