I was going through the „list of stock characters”- as in, looking for character archetypes on Wikipedia and found this
What the fuck???????????????????
I mean… I don’t think they are wrong but…. That was so unexpected????
Some other archetypes and their examples are
-redshirts- trekkies know where this came from
-silver fox/vixen- “older character, typically in their 50s, grayish hair (yadda yadda)- who is depicted as attractive, glamorous and charming”- example? RUPERT FREAKING GILES!!!!!! (Totally agree with that one)
-Hotshot- James T. Kirk
-homlesian detective- Thorndyke, Poirot, Columbo, Shinichi Kudo and Benoit Blanc
-Blind Warrior- Chirrut Imwe and Kanan Jarrus- I love both of those guys;
-Christ figure- Aslan, Gandalf, the Doctor, Spock
-Dandy- “a good looking, well-off, floppish young man more interested in leisure than bussiness and politics…”- Dorian Gray, and my Sir Percival Blakeney (I loved that one because I didn’t expect to see him)
