OP is a hypocrite
No I’m not
“they previously posted that someone losing their child isn’t a big deal and they should just get over it.”
I said the only loss worth grieving over is the loss of a significant other, but with that said, if you have a child, it’s understandable and reasonable not to want to sacrifice the child you chose to create for the fucking world.
Bruce having friends
It’s clear you don’t read or watch a lot of Batman. Bruce Wayne does have friends.
Tommy Elliot
Mallory Moxon
Harvey Dent
Silver St Cloud
In the Silver Age comics, Batman did have a supporting cast of characters that wasn’t just Robin and Alfred.

Ok, for context, his parents aren’t shitty, unlike Succession. The family is mostly chill. His sisters aren’t mean and bitchy; his dad might be emotionally distant, but he still loves his kids, but his mother loves him more than anything, and he loves his siblings. Even if in the story I put it where they are corrupt or maybe working with one of the villains, the parents still love their kids and want their kids out of danger. Even Darth Vader loved Luke.
I never said his parents were shitty; the guy I was responding to assumed that.
But to answer your question, people have choices. Just because your parents are shitty people doesn’t mean you are going to be a shitty person. Just because your parents are good and loving doesn’t mean you won’t grow up to become an asshole.
There are a bunch of liberals/Democrats whose parents were hardcore conservatives.
People have choices, and just because you have past trauma doesn’t give you a free pass to do horrible shit.
you see their wealth as an easy way to get around story telling hurdles
An excuse for me to draw nice mansions, exotic cars and locations. His family is actually alive, and so it’s about him juggling his double life between being a superhero and doing “high society” stuff. All of his love interests come from wealthy families, so sometimes he’s not there for their parties, events or galas due to superhero stuff.
There just seems to be a lack of believable trauma needed for a superhero origin.
You seem to not like superheroes, which makes me wonder why you even replied to my post. But to answer your question, my character is traumatized. His girlfriend was murdered, and that’s more traumatic than anything in the world. Also, just because his parents might be shitty doesn’t mean he is.
" and superheroes too for that matter."
Again, you don’t like or understand superheroes; you aren’t even a casual fan, so why respond to my post?
The story is about an adult relationship that turns tragic. The story only works if she’s an adult (i.e., 21+). It’s about an adult relationship with a boyfriend (or girlfriend) with their own personal baggage, and the relationship ends tragically.
If her boyfriend is the same age as her, then I could easily just make her 14-16 or something.
having the main character and their love interest be close in age?
Sure but if he’s her age then she wouldn’t want to become a superhero to avenge him. If her boyfriend is 22 years and hes murderd yeah thats sucks but its not a big deal from her perspective.

15·2 个月前Realistically, he too would probably end up being abusive
In the story hes not abusive which is why his death hurts her emotionally.
what do you think of movie piracy?
It’s theft.
I don’t want my heroes to have to deal with quotidian grownup issues like paying the mortgage, having to work overtime,
They don’t have to; most of the time their jobs aren’t even really important to the overall story; they’re just there to explain what they do during the day or just to have another setting. And as for paying the mortgage, you don’t have to go into detail about that or show it; just give the character some “easy” or “explainable” day job and have them live a middle- or middle-upper-class lifestyle, and you’re good.
ironically an idiot.
This is a take…

They also shouldn’t be okay with him drunk driving
In the story it literally happened either 6 months ago or two years ago any rational person would get over it.

Ok, so what do they mean by “bring something to the table”… By this logic, a pizza delivery guy can offer NOTHING to a girl who comes from a multi-millionaire family.
