As a follow-up to one of your last asks about protagonists… what are some of your fave protagonists in recent media? And some of your most disliked? And why?

Hmmm.

Favorites: Ruby Rose from RWBY, Gon Freecs from HxH, Atsushi from BSD, Wei Wuxian from MDZS, Xie Lian from TGCF, Ash Lynx from Banana Fish, Eren Jaeger from SnK, and Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel stand out.

I think all of these characters are very well rounded and work very well within their respective stories and their genres. They tend to have arcs that exemplify the main themes of the story, but do so in a human way that avoids us feeling like we're being bombarded by a preacher who is held to a different standard than the rest of the cast. They are a vehicle for the story, inextricable from it to a degree, yet well-rounded. The story doesn't exist to serve them.

They are all vastly different characters, too. Eren is a tragic hero who falls in a satisfying way; you don't root for him to win unless you're a fascist. Wei Wuxian and Xie Lian are very flawed but very human characters (ironic because Xie Lian is literally a god) who contain paradoxical traits of immense compassion and immense, destructive flaws. Ash is also tragic, and even though he is "super" in a lot of ways--above average IQ, good looks, athletic, etc--the narrative doesn't give him a pass for these. If anything, it punishes Ash for these traits.

Ruby and Charlie I think are somewhat similar: they're idealistic characters who embody the main messages of their stories, of hope and second chances and love for humanity. Charlie is literally a Jesus figure. Yet, their good intentions are also very flawed at times. Both Charlie and Ruby are hurting children, too, who seek to save themselves through others... but need saving themselves by others. They need to realize their power and their weakness is in being human.

Protagonists I don't like... well, Deku from BNHA. Never liked him, now completely loathe him, but I'm not going to retread why here. I also don't like Alina from Grishaverse and her very "not like the other girls" attitude.

But my number one most hated protagonist is Callum from The Dragon Prince. To be fair, TDP is honestly one of the worst stories ever put to screen. It's a failure of writing on every single level--thematically, character-wise, plot-wise. It's boring and it's offensive all at once. It is everything YouTube dudebros like to complain shows like RWBY are (forced representation that serves nothing beyond "look at us we're woke!" that cheapens the portrayal and is ultimately a disservice and borderline offensive to the social movements they're supposedly offering rep for).

And Callum is the worst of all of the characters. Which is saying a lot because I absolutely despise pretty much every character except Claudia at this point. The narrative has no idea what it wants to do with Callum. He's just kind of there, and they're aware of that and sometimes try to reference that on a meta level, but can't because they keep throwing things at him to try to give him an actual role in the story that he simply does not have.

Granted, the narrative itself has no aim. The story is clearly written as a reactionary story that aims to please fans. I saw people shocked Rayla and Callum were only paired together because of fans (which the writers admitted). Like, no shit? The story is written reactively rather than because it has anything interesting to say. It has nothing at all to say, and Callum embodies this.

The story itself is at the level of a middle-schooler's writing project that would earn a C in 8th grade. Callum is a blank space for a middle schooler who wants to create a cool story but doesn't know what to write. And see, if the narrative actually said "oh, he doesn't know what to write, let's explore that and show him struggling and failing" it'd be interesting. But no. The narrative bends over to cater to him and everything he wants instead.

Which is why I'd give the hypothetical 8th grader writing this a C. You have an interesting world and potential in your characters. You just haven't figured out how to wield it yet. Except then I remember that this is actually a multi-million dollar, seven season long Netflix series greenlit based solely on the fact that the very-much-adult producer was involved in ATLA. Then, I think of all the amazing stories that will never be greenlit or that were cancelled after one season, and I slap a red F on it and drop-kick Callum into a trash bin.

Illya Kuryakin from The Man From UNCLE (2015)

Yes, I picked a gif where he's miserable and suffering, why not LOOOOL. I did NOT anticipate obsessing over this guy for years, but, well. here we are.

2. Ash Lynx from Banana Fish

The EMOTIONAL DAMAGE this show caused me. evil. evil evil evil. But Ash is mine and he's precious, I love him so much.

3. Soren from The Dragon Prince

I LOVE what they did with him and tbh his tragic family relationships (ESPECIALLY his relationship with Claudia) will be the death of me.

She was my favourite part of the show and I'm VERY SAD that I've almost run out of episodes to gif.

9. Stevie Nichols from Wizards of Waverly Place

Okay listen, I have been rewatching as background noise and like. SHE WAS RIGHT. SHE WAS RIGHT OKAY. And the way they just murdered her???? and played it for comedy???? EVIL. Honestly there's a lot that's extremely fucked up in this show but THIS was on top the list

10. Miranda Hamilton/Barlow from Black Sails

I periodically rediscover how much I love this show and THIS WOMAN??? This woman kills me. bye.
