      We’re prepping to shoot the next 2-3 videos in the character types series, and have some ideas for character types we could address, but I wanted to hear from you all first. Are there any character stereotypes you’d like to see us tackle? Let me know and I can see if we can address them in a future video!

        Have you done the brainy sidekick yet? Those always annoyed me because they made it look like the hero couldn’t think for himself

            @aratrea So glad I’m doing this course. I have no clue as to what and Archetype is. πŸ˜›

              It looks like you have yet to do the love interest or sidekick.

                @Dragon-Snapper an archetype is basically the typical role any given character fulfills. Mentor. Hero. Dark Lord. A slot for a character that doesn’t really depend that much on the character himself, but what part the character plays in the story.

                  @kate-flournoy Gotcha. Thanks again! πŸ˜›
                  Okay then. Definitely the Mentor, and maybe the Evil King (if that exists).

                    Have you already addressed the perfect love interest? Or maybe the expendable red shirt type character. =P

                      Thanks so much for the suggestions y’all! You guys are the best. We’ll definitely add love interest & sidekick to the docket.

                      This is actually for our Youtube channel, not the Theme Mastery course. πŸ™‚ Our first video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1B1zNr_X-g&t=3s) introduces what character types are, and we’ve actually already covered both of your suggestions here for the Mentor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KhqnH6BMQc) and here for the Evil Overlord (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-Ab8lmRV_o&t=145s). Hope that helps. πŸ™‚

                        @aratrea What about the mysterious tough guy with the sad backstory who never smiles?

                          @winter-rose Oh; I like that idea. And I’ve seen that in waaaaaaay too many stories.

                            @aratrea This might be a little too late, but I just though of one. The arrogant, rich city boy that is stuck by catastrophe and learns humility or something like that. Like Tony Stark, Steven Strange, Lightening McQueen, etc.

                            *is probably geeking out about something*

                              And now that I think about it, Thor kinda falls into this too. Man, Marvel has a problem with that apparently….

                                @aratrea Yeah…I figured that a few hours later. πŸ˜›
