“Dealing with flawed characters makes for great drama.”
I’m really growing weary of hearing this one. Entertainment media has raised character flaw exploration to a boring, whiny new art. Using this thinking has gotten us to a point where it’s very difficult to find entertainment that includes main characters with any capability of showing any kind of restraint whatsoever.
“TV shows and movies shouldn’t be the exclusive domain of the righteous.”
Spare me. In the entertainment media, weakness has become an exlusive, revered trait for it’s “drama producting” potential. It’s is now predictable and therefore, tedious.
