Almost with every show I’ve seen the main character is usually my least favorite one and random side characters are much more interesting.It’s either because the main character is annoying,not well written,not complex enough,one dimensional,doesn’t have any traits to be a good lead of the show,doesn’t stand out or make the show memorable.They just don’t feel like the main character and I’m usually more invested in others.
Who are your favorite main characters?A few I have to mention are
1)Ragnar Lothbrok (Vikings) 2)Lucifer (Lucifer) 3)Captain Flint (Black sails) 4)Joe Goldberg (You) 5)Thomas Shelby (Peaky blinders) 6)Villanelle (Killing Eve) 7)Boyd (From) 8)Emily Thorne (Revenge) 9)Jake Peralta (Brooklyn 99) 10)Olivia Dunham (Fringe)
The main character I can’t stand is Clarke (The 100).
