    Other things I've learned to make a good hero:
    1.- Never make it perfect. Imperfect characters are the most perfect for any story. This gives you a wide screen to make them grow and learn new things as they chase their motivations.
    2.- Make them lose or fail at one point: If we all learn from our very own mistakes and failures, then why not heroes? This tips can let you develop them as you write the story.

    A hero is the one who steps up to the plate without being asked.
    A hero is the one who does their best to make the right decision.
    A hero is the one who learns to live with the wrong ones and moves on.
    A hero is not always the strongest, the smartest, or the bravest.
    But a hero is the one that will stand by your side.
    Through thick and thin.
    A hero will bring you food when you are hungry or drink when you are thirsty.
    When you are sick a hero will tell you you will be better soon.
    And when you are about to take your last breath.
    A hero will hold your hand and say goodbye.

      Nice idea but in a zero sum game, whatever you win, someone else looses, who are you to decide who deserves to win? You can't maximise and minimise a value at the same time, and that's taking an analytical approach. In practical terms, most people can't agree on what is the right reason even less can agree on the right action.

    I’ve seen many hero movies and I’ve noticed two types of heroes and journeys.
    First type of hero is someone having extraordinary powers which he/she uses for the good of the crowd.
    Second type doesn’t have anything special and struggles to find it but is extremely motivated to help others. In turn people start helping that person and with the help of others that person becomes the hero that he/she always wanted to be.

    One of my favourite types of hero is them being less of a hero and more of a protagonist, where there actions there doing aren’t necessarily good or bad, kind of a mix of the two. I really like it when fiction blurs the line between hero and villian in order to question you or change who is the villian and who is the hero

    This video skips a crucial part of the hero's journey: refusal of the call. The hero refuses the call to adventure initially. You might think this step is skippable but it is not. Refusal of the call is huge in making or breaking the hero. Either they fully succumb to fear and fail to go to the special world, or their mentor helps them to accept their fears and continue anyway.

    • @Immersible_
      @Immersible_ 9 лет назад +5

      That sounds a lot like premature angst before finally just getting on with the adventure. lol
      If it matters by character development, then its characterization. Therefore, not included in a specifically story-driven formula such as the one shown in the video.

    • @ordinarytree4678
      @ordinarytree4678 9 лет назад +4

      Immersible But if its happening to the main character, isn't it an important part of the story? Sure, its a temporary situation, but every story with the hero's journey has to address the hero's anxieties at some point. We won't connect with the character as well otherwise.

    • @Immersible_
      @Immersible_ 9 лет назад +2

      Noah MacGillivray Like how other literary elements have its own categories, characterization and plot development are two completely separate concepts. Even though they might intertwine and come from the same source, they are still separate.
      Btw did you know, there are ways to tell a hero story without learning a single thing about the main character? ;3

    • @ordinarytree4678
      @ordinarytree4678 9 лет назад +8

      Alright, I see your point. Personally I prefer to see the hero's concerns and fears because it makes the story seem realistic, but I can see where it might not be necessary.

    What makes a VILLAIN:
    Just like the hero, starts at status quo. Second, realization: an event changes the way they see their world, makes them see only the horrible things. Come to the conclusion that violence is the answer to their new found hatred. Third, preparation: He learns a new power,(he learns magic, gains followers etc.)that he will use to change the world. Fourth, reveal: he shows his new power to the world, through actions, threats, or maybe he challenges an authority figure, or protector. Fifth, demonstration: he shows the world he's no joke by destroying something, maybe he defeats the hero. The demonstration can also act as the reveal, or can come beforehand. Sixth, trials: the villain and hero constantly clash, sometimes one of them wins, but doesn't kill the other. Seventh, great battle: at this stage, the villain and hero know each other more than they know themselves. This can span anywhere from a few hours, to a few years. Final, result: he may win or lose, but one dies, and the other gets their way.

    whenever I read a book, I always come back to this video. the hero's journey is very common
    although, these stages don't exactly happen in order. sometimes some stages repeat.
