>>221409549before the 2000s incompetent trend?
>>221404957Rorsarch. It's a bummer that he basically doesn't exist outside of that one self contained storyline in Watchmen.
>>221410032Yes. Exactly. Or before the 2010s/2020s authenticity/identity/constantly verbalizing their internal psychology meme. I have just come to the conclusion that we are living in an inversion of the 90s.
>>221410087How would this translate to a racist character?
>>221404957Sgt Barnes
>>221404957That setting is pretty limited. Before yet another ship shows up you should have the two ships open to explore. I recommend a character like this guy living in the greenhouse, nobody knows what his power level is because he goes with the flow. Maybe you find out later
this version of Lucifer specifically
I'd like to see the unapologetically funny black guy character. I think one of the biggest travesties of DEI is black guys all have to be so serious, noble, heroic, etc. Movies used to have hilarious black guy comic relief characters who were selfish, cowardly, often opposed to the protagonists goals, and dragged through the plot kicking and screaming. Sometimes they'd mature into heroes naturally, other times they'd present additional obstacles for the protagonist to overcome. A similar trope from Alien and Aliens is the third or even fourth party faction that ends up in opposition to the protagonist unexpectedly. The surprise that one crew member is secretly not human and is sabotaging efforts in the background until confronted as a surprise second to third act villain. In Aliens you have the incompetent commander getting them in further peril, as well as Burke's direct betrayal of the group. Additionally the trope where former enemies team up to work together is always a welcome one. Tenuous alliances and undefined loyalties are great ways to introduce tension and drive the course of a scene. They can feel very cathartic to the audience since both characters should be working together but another element of the script had divided them. This is how you get kino 'bromances' or 'broments' that people will remember the story for. The rivalry design should usually be the opposite of the hero's to drive the point home: different philosophy, visually different like big if the hero is small, clashing colors scheme on the opposite side of the color wheel, different type of weapon or combat. If the hero is very combat-focused this rival character could potentially be a non-combatant who roadblocks the hero in other ways.
