no offense but male protagonists whose strength comes from empathy, compassion and humanity will always be more interesting than snarky assholes who punch everything and treat everyone around them like shit
A concept: male protagonists who pretend to be snarky jerks who treat everyone around them like crap but turn out to be secretly empathetic and compassionate but afraid to show it because they think they need to look strong
Hmmmm bad concept they’re still treating everyone around them like crap, regardless of what their “real” personality is :/
It’s wild that they thought that idea was original and new
Isn’t that like… Wolverine? And every other Tough Asshole Hero? Asshole secretly has a heart of gold is already a thing. An annoying thing.
if youre secretly compassionate, deep down, buried in the depths of your heart, then newsflash: youre not compassionate at all
hes mad as hell
the thing is we’re more happy to make fun of shen than he is mad to be getting made fun of so it all balances out
