such a great character.

Same, zuko is one of my favourite characters of all time. His character was so well written

I agree with your take on Vader. I often argue that Vader is irredeemable despite the movie essentially trying to pitch him as 'redeemed' and a lot of audience members thinking so. Vader took part in genocide. His orders literally killed millions of people (not in the movies but still) and he is on screen murdering children. The movie essentially has Hitler being redeemed because he protects his son at the last moment. But the reality is more of what you write. Yeah he did a good last minute act to save his child and he dies because of it. It really is more Lukes push to 'find the good' in Vader that makes the movie feel like it is trying for his redemption.

@@benjaminramsey498 what I meant was NOT all of them don't receive sympathy

Not all villains need to be sympathetic. That's why I love Starscream

Depends on what type a villain you’re writing.

That's why jojo series is satisfying for me. Author refuse to make the audience sympathize witht he villain. But still gives him a loveable charecter somehow 💀😂

My villains tend to have moments where there sympathetic or sometimes even show empathy. I do it completely randomly. My villains will often be cruel and to most people appear heartless and then randomly show sympathy.

Yes!

The Zuko arc from Avatar the Last Airbender is a great example of this.

@@juliajohnson4080 the last airbender and the legend of Korra are both great works

Real life killers / murderers close family members (Mom's especially) have a tendency to defend & / or protect the killer even when they know what that person has done. Those bonds are a powerful thing, where Moms will shield their children from arrests,or take them in once released from prison / jail for serving their sentence. Also being at the trial / court to support them & proudly pointing out to others that their son was *never Convicted* those charges w were dropped. It's a real thing & that kind of support could influence a killer to be a better person.

@Hot Dog Welcome! You have just stumbled upon THE BEST writing community in all of KZfaq 😃 Abbie is an excellent coach/teacher/motivational rockstar -- get ready to learn a TON (and feel amazing about yourself in the process) 📚 !!

same lol- i just binged all her videos last night

I recently stumbled on her channel as well, and I’ve been doing the same thing! She definitely has some wonderful content! ❤️

meissie why are you everywhere?????

Sounds very interesting and I believe that the story will be so amazing!

@@sleepygirl3463 Thanks. I'm working really hard on this along side my studies. Really loving it. It's definitely a switch from writing fan fiction what ifs. But i think I'm going to see it through.

The live action movie was horrific though. Trash writing and I could not sit through it

@@unicorntomboy9736 There's no movie in Ba Sing Se XD

It is also a kids show

I think that it would make them a victum, right? cause if they dont want to do it there has to be a reason why they are being villanous, like maybe its a scientist that knows things the villain would never understand so the villain kidnaps his wife and kids and makes the scientist create all sorts of poisons to ruin the public population, just so the wife and kids dont become another in the thousands the villain is planning on killing.

M-she-U will screw that up.

@@Khalfrank Nahh. We cant let a legend like Scarlet witch succumb to their politics.

Here's the backstory, from her POV: My name is Laura Hill. I was born on September 9th 2003, to an aspiring author by the name of Tony Hill. He was a single dad, and the best guy ever, to my mind. My life wasn’t fancy, or particularly unusual, it just was. Each day, I’d get up, have breakfast with Dad, he’d go to work while I played with my friends on our block or go to preschool or elementary school, depending on how old I was. At noon, I’d go home if I didn’t have school, eat my premade lunch, then go out to play again. At half-past five, Dad’d get home, he’d make dinner and then, depending on how old I was, read me a story, teach me to read, or I’d read him a story. Then I’d get ready for bed, and if I was lucky, he’d read me another story, often a snippet of one of the stories he was working on. After I went to bed, he’d spend another hour or two writing, then go to bed himself. Rinse and repeat. I wanted to be just like him, and he always said reading lots was key to becoming an author, so I read often. That all changed the day of the crash. I was nine years old and got immediately placed into an orphanage. It was strange and terrifying, and books only served to remind me that Dad was gone. He’d never read to me again. Then we had a class novel to read. Resigned to the fact that I’d have to read it, I picked it up one night after school, planning to just get up to chapter five, so I was up to date with the rest of the class. Someone shook my shoulder, and I looked up to see the matron tell me that it was dinner time. I was up to chapter 15. Then I read to escape from the pain of the world - the children teasing me about my hair and skin colour, the pain of not having Dad… Eventually the pain lessened, and so I then read just for the fun of it. By that time, I had left the orphanage and lived in a foster home. It was okay, but it wasn’t particularly enjoyable. In year eight, we had to do some reading comprehension with some book chapters. One was about some kid dying and the nitty-gritty of heaven (I can’t remember the name of the book) and one was I Accidentally Vaporize My Maths Teacher. I was hooked, and wanted to find the book. Unfortunately, I couldn’t, so I read Heroes of Olympus. I knew as much as Jason or Percy did when I read them. Reading HOO first is probably why I got so attached to Jason (not sure if that’s a good or bad thing…. You know why). Anyway, when I found The Lightning Thief, I read it, but the funny thing was that it was almost like I hadn’t read Heroes of Olympus, ‘cause I didn’t remember the spoilers it had given me. Then I read all the books through in order. I got kinda obsessed, it’s the only series I bought rather than just borrowing it from the library whenever I wanted to read it and the only series I got merch for. She also looks very unusual with Red hair, blue eyes & dark skin, but she's fine with it despite the weird looks she gets

AND { in real life } you can heroes who are unlikeable . People can say about a " brash " hero : ~ He may have an abrasive/abrupt personality *BUT* at least he gets the job done . ♑️✍️🇦🇺🇳🇴

@@benjaminramsey498 what?

@@benjaminramsey498 Well, what everfloats your boat I guess. But in what sense was his redemption arc good anyways?

Hi 😄 There's actually a literary device called free indirect discourse. It's kinda like the narrator/narrative voice (third person POV) does actually enter into the mind of a character. Take Pride and Prejudice as an example. Jane Austen was a master at free indirect discourse. In one section involving Charlotte Lucas we read, "[Person], to be sure, was neither sensible nor agreeable; his society was irksome, and his attachment to her must be imaginary. But still he would be her husband." So it's like we enter her head, especially when we read *must*. Hope this helps 😊

@@nobirahim1818 Ah I get it! Thank you so much 🥰

Agreed 💯% ‼️ { I sent Abbie Emmons a direct reply from her comment she messaged another viewer on a recent community post { section } of her channel ~ she's failed to reply ... even with at least a #ThankYou } . *IF* I'm successful at authorship it would be a buzz 🥳 to have my book(s) create a whole new genre 📚🆕️✍️

🙄 : Tippical male ♂️ response 🤦 . There's more subjects FAR MORE interesting , than pornography 🦵👀 . { I } don't ever think C.S.Lewis was into zoophilia / bestiality . ♑️✍️🇦🇺🇳🇴 📖🦁🧙‍♀️🗝☃️
