Original question by: @JoMiran@lemmy.ml
Have you ever read a novel, comic, manga, watched a movie, play, TV show etc., and you found yourself invested in a side character? Ever cared for and felt more intrigued by that side character than the mains? If so, what character was it and what are some.things that make you so interested in them?
Misha from Katawa Shoujo.
Bubbly and whimsical on the outside while depressed and full of self-doubt on the inside.Megan from Bridesmaids totally stole every scene she was in for me. Such a fun chaotic character.
Not sure if this counts but Elizabeth from Bioshock Inifite was such a better and more interesting character than Booker. She’s not playable so I figure she’s a side character even if the entire plot of the game revolves around her.
Also not sure if it counts but Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender is one of my favorite characters in any medium. She’s not introduced until partway through season 2 (why she may count) but is part of the core group of main characters (why she might not count).
Ok, Toph is just one of the best characters in fiction, she’s fantastic! And yeah, that totally counts.
I’m going to cheat and say that with the exception of everyone’s favourite space-racist, most of the side characters from the Mass Effect Trilogy are far more compelling than Commander Shepard.
IMO, this is how it should be. Let me apply myself to the main character and learn more about the side characters.
And somehow Ash is still more likeable then Kaden. But Kirrahe is the best outside the usable characters.
what is happening with this “manual community bridging”? honest question
If “manual community bridging” means quoting a post instead of reposting, I’d guess it has something go do with defederation, since a lot of instances have defed from lemmy.ml.
In Animal Crossing Wild World I had a white duck in my town that I adored. I don’t know why I liked her
I get far too attached to all my AC neighbours.b
Gromit. That lil guy is always on it when his owner has no clue.
Gromit is a main character though.
Tom Bombadill. To the extent that one of my main goals in life is to be as chaotic and inexplicable to people as possible, but benignly so.
Lieutenant Lopez (Greg Bryk) in first season of The Expanse, barely lasted an episode, wished he had stayed longer.
Cassidy in the Preacher graphic novels
Otacon from the MGS series. Always there to help the team, a bit afraid of combat, and a total nerd. My kind of guy.
