One of the first things that struck me about John Sugar was that he reminded me a lot of Link from the Legend of Zelda series. We’re always reminded that our protagonist is in the right because of the one thing that’s always apparent: Out of all the people in the room, they offer the most kindness. It’s not rely going out of their way when they do something for others because they wouldn’t have it any other way. Their way is to help in the way that they’re needed, and because we understand that, we back these characters pretty wholly.
Well, I was wondering if I can encounter more of these kind of altruistic characters if I look into noir. Characters whose morality or personal interests I don’t have to worry about because I just know they’re right.
