Even though, oftentimes and usually, when you're creating a fictional story, you're working in anything but a linear fashion. It's their job to feel that everything that happens is natural or organic, like it's happening in a completely linear fashion. There is no actual causation in fictional stories, only the illusion of it and it's the creator's job to mask that dirty little secret to the best of their ability. Literally everything that has happened or will happen in their lives is contrived.
Instead, I'm trying to highlight the fact that not only do these characters themselves not actually exist, which doesn't mean they aren't or can't be important (I'll write about that later) furthermore, every situation they find themselves in their contrived lives is set up by creators (be they a writer, a filmmaker or whatever). People on both sides in the debate have never budged in their beliefs and neither have I, and this makes me believe that there isn't and there can never be a definitive answer about what actual people with the same life experiences the characters had would have done in the same situations we saw in those stories because they're not actually real.Īnd yes, I realize that's obvious and I'm not trying to insult your intelligence by pointing it out or make myself sound like an idiot for figuring it out. Whether you like these versions of the characters or not, and no matter how good your argument on defending/criticizing the characters is, some people will never change their minds about this because, to be fair, I've read some really good arguments from both sides and I want to believe I've made some good arguments myself. With those stories over, for now, fans are left to debate the merits and flaws of those stories, more especifically the characters' portrayals in them. Those who refuse to believe these are the characters we know and love and don't accept their actions as valid and those who accept them as the characters we know and love and that their actions make perfect sense given the circumstances they face, not to mention all those people and fans somewhere in-between this debate and have probably become tired of it all. There are two firmly entrenched sides in this debate. They're no longer the symbols of hope and optimism we believed them to be, instead they have given into despair and cynicism and now find themselves questioning everything they've ever believed in.
The criticism thrown at Luke Skywalker ( Star Wars) in The Last Jedi is the same criticism thrown at Superman in the DC Extended Universe, Optimus Prime in the Transformers movies and Taichi Kamiya in the Digimon Adventure sequels.
