Topic	is "the characters are unlikable" a valid criticism
Wii_Shaker 08/12/21 2:41:43 AM #17:	ChocoboMog123 posted... Why make an exception when the premise is wrong? Smart audiences care for interesting characters, not likable ones. It's the difference between someone who gets turned off by Breaking Bad because "Walt is a bad guy" and someone who asks, "Did Walter do the right thing in killing ~~Jane~~?" This is a good point. Whether the character is unlikable or not should be irrelevant. An interesting character can drive a narrative forward, keeping it's audience enthralled without even being remotely likeable. --- "He busted in, blessed be the Lord Who believe any mess they read up on a message board" -MF DOOM 1970-2020 (G.O.A.T.) <cite>Wii_Shaker posted [p:957007906] in is "t...
