@ Highcastle: I don't want all characters to be the dark mature type, but those are my favorite. Any time a character embraces a fantastical or harsh situation and pushes on thru it, those are usually the stronger-minded characters to me. And usually the ones I become most interested in. See that, that is what's fucking confusing me! You manage to say that it is objectively a big problem while saying it's a personal one within the same post and it's so fucking contradictory! Yes or no, is the Hero's Journey a bad writing trope? Period.
