I have a contreversial view, I saw you said Baam (from tower of God in the picture) was just a simp/yes man, but think about it this way, Baam wakes up like a baby and the first person he sees is Rachel, his motherly figure. It's like saying a baby has no reason to follow and listen to everything his mom says. Baam wakes up with the mind of a baby, he knows nothing, until Rachel starts teaching him. If a mother abandoned her child, wouldn't the child go after her? Baam IS that child, he knows nothing else than Rachel and what she taught him. Wouldn't it make sense that she is his reason to live? A baby can't think for himself yet, so his only reason to live is his mother. Baam risks his life for all he has ever known. In the webtoon, he later starts realising that he is not alone anymore, and that what Rachel did was wrong. He stops chasing after her and found another reason to live, his friends. I think Baam is a really good character that also impacts the series as a whole, like without him, the whole series wouldn't exist, everything, the hirarchy, would stay the same. Geeze, I just realised how long this is, but if you read this, would you mind pinning this, cause I want others to know that things aren't always what they seem with characters and how they progress over the story.
I think that it's important to differentiate between character development and character progression. Character development is the process of building a believable and engaging character whereas character progression refers to a character's change over time. While progression can help in building a good character it's completely different from the development. Also character development is always necessary, progression isn't
I never look to Vegeta as a well developed character, the only time I actually felt his Change was when he apologised to Gohan, Love your videos keep them coming
Thank you for the support and comment! I can see where you're coming from, Toriyama isn't one of my favorite writers lol. In my opinion, I don't think ANY of DBZ's character's have great development. I only included Vegeta in the list because his "development" was very contradictory to when he was first introduced. Dbz is also a household name lol.
So, uh, about One Punch Man... I'd say it is literally THE perfect example on how to write a good story with an overpowered protagonist. My favorite moments from OPM aren't those in which Saitama is punching monsters, they are those in which Saitama is teaching Genos a moral lesson. Or in which he's inspiring people, like King. Or even being inspired by some of them, like Mumen Rider. OP protagonists can work greatly if you have a solid and well established cast of secondary characters. If you read/watch ONE's (the author of OPM) other famous work, Mob Psycho 100, you'll see it follows pretty much the same formula: an amazingly overpowered protagonist with a monotonous personality and boring design, but who is able to influence the lives of people around him, who are all three-dimensional characters with vastly different backgrounds, in such peculiar ways that it makes for an incredibly interesting story. So personally, I watch/read Mob Psycho and OPM not because I wanna see Saitama the hero, or Mob the esper. I do it because I want to see Saitama the person and his hero friends, and Mob the person and his esper friends. And if Saitama or Mob fight in some chapters/episodes, well, at this point I know I can trust that the author will find a way to make it interesting.
You make some GREAT points! Thank you for taking the time to write all of that and adding onto the discussion! I completely agree! Mob Psycho 100 is actually one of my all time favorite anime series! So I get exactly what you mean! I should have mentioned in the video that there are always going to be exceptions to every "tip, rule, etc" MOB and OPM and Saiki K are perfect examples When I mention overpowered characters, I was mostly thinking about isekai protagonists that are SUPER COMMON these days. Most, if not all of them are overpowered for no good reason. And the stories/characters are super generic, so the whole work falls apart In retrospect, stories like OPM and Mob are perfect examples of how to write Overpowered characters correctly. Thanks again!
@@MonitorComics Oh, sorry, I didn't see your reply before. (Dammit, RUclips...) I'm glad you get it! But yeah, unfortunately, you are right about OP isekai protagonists being so common nowadays :\ Well written OP protags are the very rare exception to that rule. So much so that I wouldn't dare try my hand at writing one. Making a flawed protag that progressively gets stronger is, imho, much easier than making the protag already strong from the beginning, since what will drive the plot will need to be exclusively protag's personality and the secondary characters. So I guess unless the writer is really, REALLY good at writing multiple characters, balance out their "screentime" and make them interact with the protagonist in a way that has a justified impact in their life, it would be better to avoid trying to write an OP protagonist. A lot of times while I was reading ONE's stories I caught myself thinking "how does this man come up with this stuff?!" In MOB it sometimes felt like Reigen or Teru were the protagonists, and I definitely agree with people who said the protag in OPM season 2 was Garou. And he was the goddamn villain! And both stories still were great in those parts, in fact, moments that put Reigen and Teru, and Garou in the spotlight were some of the best in both series! So hey, glad to hear you're a fan of MOB, too! I actually enjoy it even more than OPM. And btw, thank you for making these videos. I plan to write this story I've been developing in my head since I was like 10 or something, but due to time restraints my current job and other life stuff, right now I can only be at the "mental drawing board", experimenting with ideas and trying to decide how exactly I want the story to be (will probably write some practice stories before I start to work on my dream story), and your videos are a huge help in trying to decide about a lot of things. The setting, the pacing, the designs... I'm writing all these ideas down, and will experiment with writing a script one of these days and see how it turns out. Seriously, your channel is a gold mine. I'm so glad I found it. So stay safe, man, and keep up the great work! :)
@@danielbueno8474 Thanks for taking the time to write all of that! You make some great points! I completely agree with your points about OPM and MOB, some of my favorite scenes are when Mob isn't the main focus either Funny enough, even when Mob was the focus, I still really enjoyed it. Like his desire to run that marathon with his own power and worked hard with the Body Improvement Club to build up his stamina I'm also glad to hear my videos could be helpful! I'm currently a senior at college and I have a part time job so I get the time balance situation. Happy to hear you are working on your own project though! Best of luck and stay safe yourself!
6:44 at some point can you do a video about this topic? When english isn't your first language thinking different speatch patterns for the characters is really really hard. I'm definitely guilty of this so I would love it if you explained other options or tricks and things that can be done.
Thank you for commenting! This is actually a really good suggestion that I haven't considered before. As a native English speaker, it's very easy to forget. I'll add it to my list! Thank you again and good luck with your projects!
2:05 When he is reading a book,I see light yagami reading his book It’s also important you try not to get too inspired or else they won’t feel interested because they might have heard the story already or they see the similarities and decided your copying which will become a problem
I usually do this. A few things every MC (main character) should have. Where was your character born? Who are their parents/family? Are the parents/family alive? What was the character doing before the adventure? Why did they leave that life? What did the character leave behind? What does your character want?
How's it going, everyone! I am currently having a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale! All of my commissions are currently HALF PRICED for a limited time! If you would like original or fanart created by me, shoot me a DM over on Instagram! All of my social media is linked in the description of the video! I hope you enjoy the video!
I think I watched everything on your channel. Took me under 24 hours. Man… thank you so much for this info. Took a ton of notes and I’m just blown away by all this helpful info. Seriously thank you
A topic that would be nice would be how to write female leads. I read mostly shonen manga and I have noticed that female leads are generally quite weak as characters. They often contribute to the plot a lot less than other major characters and are often reduced to love interests with little else of significance. It is quite frustrating because the rest of the cast is usually much more interesting and developed and it makes writing your own female leads all the more difficult due to good examples being more difficult to find. If you could consider tackling this topic at some point and possibly hinting towards some series that have good female leads it would be very appreciated. Love your work and it was nice to have you back.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful suggestion! I do like this idea a lot actually! Typically shojo manga is what pops into my head when I think of well-written female characters, but even then they're usually made to fit the traditional "girly girl" personality. Shonen female leads are a lot harder to come by, the only one I can think of off of the top of my head is Emma from The Promised Neverland, but even then she's portrayed as a tomboy. I'll definitely gather my thoughts and make a video about this soon lol, thank you again for the support!
When it comes to Shonen, there I sonny one main female character I do not like and it's Sakura. Everyone else that I've seen are good characters in my opinion.
Been waiting for an upload xd Also I think I need some tips on character development myself as my story isn’t focused on teens and instead it’s adults (I’ve been going about my development by taking one thing every character struggles with in the beginning and then going from there but I personally don’t like that way).
Thank you for being patient and leaving a comment! Hopefully, the video can give you what you're looking for! Best of luck with your project, it sounds cool!
Ive been wanting to write a manga called hidden shadows, and it was rusty at first. But thanks to,I’ve made 2 out of the 4 main characters. (One of them is guy called Ren, and the other is called miyuki. I thank you with all my heart!! You deserve to have a million subs
I'm actually a new subscriber and I'm watching all of ur videos cause they re so interesting and useful. Just... Use more spoiler free image cause I got spoiled on a MAJOR Spoiler, watching this video, about MHA. With that said, good job ur helping me out with ur videos!
Thank you so much for the feedback and nice words, I will definitely keep your advice in mind moving forward! I apologize for the spoiler image!! I'll make sure that doesn't happen again!
One Punch Man is a story about a guy who became so overpower that lost a part of his reactions to things, that's what moved the story foward, at least in the beginning.
I have an idea for a mc in my manga, were in the beginning of the manga the mc is a selfish and apathetic person, but experiences a reality check once his brother dies and becomes more of an empathetic and likeable character.
Thank you for the comment! I actually have a video focused on one-shots! It can be found here: ruclips.net/video/0xywbUvMx18/видео.html. A Tl;Dr version would be, simplify your story into a single pilot episode. A one-shot needs to complete in a short amount of time so it's not worth stuffing too many complicated ideas into it. If you think about a long-lasting series like naruto, a one-shot version might be Team 7 on a mission and the one-shot ends when they finish the mission. Hope that helps!
4:40 “Villains who are evil only for the sake of it” I’ve seen this prime motivation in many villains in Fairly OddParents, it falls flat real quickly, in spite of it being one of my favorite cartoons (Crocker and Remy Buxaplenty are two exceptions due to them both having a tragic backstory, but When they start to say “thank you” for being called evil or monstrous by the heroes, then I start to lose interest in them; Maybe that’s them feeling the joy and pride in their work, but to me it feels more like they’re now being motivated by pure evil than the backstories they were given; Vicky does not have a backstory, despite being the main antagonist) I know this is probably intended to make the villains more comedic, but at the same time, I think it makes them lose their sense of humanity and 3-dimensionality and it’s hard to relate to them
Great points! Thanks for taking the time to share! I think in this instance, the writers took advantage of the fact that the Fairly Oddparents is a KIDS show. Personally I would have liked better written villain motivations as well. Especially when we see "kids shows" like Avatar The Last Airbender with GREAT character writing
@@MonitorComics No problem glad I was able to help! In fact, I should actually watch “avatar the last Airbender” (The animated series, of Course!) I was never really into it when it came out, but I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about it! 😄 It’s no wonder it got a live action movie, in spite of how terrible that film turned out later… 😓
@@jidtoons It's an amazing watch! Especially as an adult! It's definitely the one series I have rewatched the most. There are so many themes and jokes I wouldn't have understood as a kid. I wish I could rewatch it for the first time, it's just that well written. Hope you enjoy it!
You clicked a video about character development... you do know character development happens over time right You wouldn't be able to talk about anything if you avoided talking about what characters went through to have their development
You’re welcome! Imagine watching a video about character development and character arcs and NOT EXPECTING the video to talk about HOW a character develops throughout the story. Use your brain bro
There is a new original concept I have of the protagonist killing his mother to smash his adoptive sister. He then turns into a bird so he can watch over his sister. And his friends congratulate him for saving the world by killing 80% of the people. I will also give any Resembles of character growth as a red herring. The protagonist stays the same character throughout a series. I will appeal to the shippers To get away from character development . Also the protagonists sister takes his head off and carries it with her to show true love. This is done to appease the high intellectual shipping fans. Then it is revealed the protagonist had no free choice and he was moved by the heroine of 50 shades. Only by seeing him beheaded the heroine from 50 shades can be free.
I don’t he killed his mom with the intention to be with Mikasa. If anything, he chose to give up living with Mikasa and die. Despite this, there’s still other problems with the ending xD
I understand the knowing the outcome but that's what makes it funnier because we know and the characters don't. Dramatic Irony. It's meant to be a comedy so everything else is just a plus (One punch man not SAO)
"It can be easier to based your characters of of people you know irl" Me making my MC's friends: *cries because i lost most of my good friends because of my own behaviour*
do you have to have an antagonist tho im tryin to make a protagonist who is battleling his own battles with himself or more like in his mind and have no idea if a villian is needed for that
You technically do not need to have an antagonist! There's something called Internal and External Conflict that explains exactly what you are referring to. External Conflict is exactly as it sounds, an outside force like an antagonist character who stands in the way. An internal conflict is more like what you are describing, where no physical antagonist is needed! Hope that helps!
Please Don't put spoilers from other animes in your videos Because I just have to put my earphones out getting out of so much spoilers you give to your audience Or else your channel is perfect!
Thank you for the feedback! Unfortunately, I don't see the point in walking around eggshells for an educational video. It'd be impossible to make a point if I only used information given in the plot synopsis. I would hope my audience understands that if they want to learn they have to be able to look at good examples and break them down. I could try putting a spoiler warning in the beginning of every video from now on though
@@MonitorComics Hope they don't. Aside from her being a nice & friendly character the studio oughta see the benefit in giving us dat sweet trans representation™
Hey i need your help ,how to protect my manga if i told alot of my story to someone else ,i already do the drawing and writing but sometimes that person helps me in story gaps ,how to secure my work just in case?!
Thank you for taking the time to share! Unfortunately, there isn't that much you can do to secure your work. Once you begin publishing your work online, like for example posting artwork on social media like Instagram, then you become the copyright holder. So if someone reposts your art you have a case to prove that the character belongs to you. In the early development phases like bouncing ideas around with your friend, it's near impossible to ensure they don't walk off with the idea. I don't want to say just don't talk about your work ever, but there's always going to be the risk that somebody can do the idea before you, so the sooner you get your work out to the public the better. Hope that helps! Best of luck with your story!
Does not like one punch man because you know the outcome? That’s literally every shonen story yet you still read them. It’s not about knowing that the main character always wins, it’s about the story that happens in between and around the MC. Think Luffy or Goku.
The Video: **Talks about Developing Antagonist and refers to actual characters** My Story: **The Antagonist is the world itself** xd Edit: the world is not a villain, is an antagonist because my protagonist's character development is directly connected to facing the world's truth.
I have a contreversial view, I saw you said Baam (from tower of God in the picture) was just a simp/yes man, but think about it this way, Baam wakes up like a baby and the first person he sees is Rachel, his motherly figure. It's like saying a baby has no reason to follow and listen to everything his mom says. Baam wakes up with the mind of a baby, he knows nothing, until Rachel starts teaching him. If a mother abandoned her child, wouldn't the child go after her? Baam IS that child, he knows nothing else than Rachel and what she taught him. Wouldn't it make sense that she is his reason to live?

I think Baam is a really good character that also impacts the series as a whole, like without him, the whole series wouldn't exist, everything, the hirarchy, would stay the same. Geeze, I just realised how long this is, but if you read this, would you mind pinning this, cause I want others to know that things aren't always what they seem with characters and how they progress over the story.

4:40 “Villains who are evil only for the sake of it”
I’ve seen this prime motivation in many villains in Fairly OddParents, it falls flat real quickly, in spite of it being one of my favorite cartoons (Crocker and Remy Buxaplenty are two exceptions due to them both having a tragic backstory, but When they start to say “thank you” for being called evil or monstrous by the heroes, then I start to lose interest in them; Maybe that’s them feeling the joy and pride in their work, but to me it feels more like they’re now being motivated by pure evil than the backstories they were given; Vicky does not have a backstory, despite being the main antagonist)
I know this is probably intended to make the villains more comedic, but at the same time, I think it makes them lose their sense of humanity and 3-dimensionality and it’s hard to relate to them
Great points! Thanks for taking the time to share! I think in this instance, the writers took advantage of the fact that the Fairly Oddparents is a KIDS show. Personally I would have liked better written villain motivations as well. Especially when we see "kids shows" like Avatar The Last Airbender with GREAT character writing
@@MonitorComics No problem glad I was able to help! In fact, I should actually watch “avatar the last Airbender” (The animated series, of Course!) I was never really into it when it came out, but I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about it! 😄 It’s no wonder it got a live action movie, in spite of how terrible that film turned out later… 😓
@@jidtoons It's an amazing watch! Especially as an adult! It's definitely the one series I have rewatched the most. There are so many themes and jokes I wouldn't have understood as a kid. I wish I could rewatch it for the first time, it's just that well written. Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for all the spoilers shown in the video :)
You clicked a video about character development... you do know character development happens over time right
You wouldn't be able to talk about anything if you avoided talking about what characters went through to have their development
These foil characters look like they could work well
My favourite manga which shows character development good is JoJo Steel ball run, and Boku no Hero Academia
Boku No Hero has been SOOO good lately. I really have to give JoJo's a fair shot, everybody keeps recommending it
@@MonitorComics Yeah, Jojo is like your bed. You don't want to sleep on it, but when you do, You cannot wake up.
Thanks for all the spoilers shown in the video :)
You’re welcome! Imagine watching a video about character development and character arcs and NOT EXPECTING the video to talk about HOW a character develops throughout the story. Use your brain bro
There is a new original concept I have of the protagonist killing his mother to smash his adoptive sister.
He then turns into a bird so he can watch over his sister.
And his friends congratulate him for saving the world by killing 80% of the people.
I will also give any
Resembles of character growth as a red herring.
The protagonist stays the same character throughout a series.
I will appeal to the shippers
To get away from character development .
Also the protagonists sister takes his head off and carries it with her to show true love. This is done to appease the high intellectual shipping fans.
Then it is revealed the protagonist had no free choice and he was moved by the heroine of 50 shades. Only by seeing him beheaded the heroine from 50 shades can be free.
Not Bird EREN! But for real though.. that final chapter of Aot was a mess LOL
I don’t he killed his mom with the intention to be with Mikasa. If anything, he chose to give up living with Mikasa and die. Despite this, there’s still other problems with the ending xD
I understand the knowing the outcome but that's what makes it funnier because we know and the characters don't. Dramatic Irony. It's meant to be a comedy so everything else is just a plus (One punch man not SAO)
"It can be easier to based your characters of of people you know irl"
Me making my MC's friends: *cries because i lost most of my good friends because of my own behaviour*
do you have to have an antagonist tho im tryin to make a protagonist who is battleling his own battles with himself or more like in his mind and have no idea if a villian is needed for that
You technically do not need to have an antagonist! There's something called Internal and External Conflict that explains exactly what you are referring to. External Conflict is exactly as it sounds, an outside force like an antagonist character who stands in the way. An internal conflict is more like what you are describing, where no physical antagonist is needed! Hope that helps!
I feel bad for the anime only’s that didn’t get a spoiler warning for 7:19
I see best boy
I click
I see a good comment
I heart that
How to make a character who a mentor figure to the main character
Thank you for the comment! This is actually an interesting idea, I'll jot it down! Thank you!
Please
Don't put spoilers from other animes in your videos
Because I just have to put my earphones out getting out of so much spoilers you give to your audience
Or else your channel is perfect!
Thank you for the feedback! Unfortunately, I don't see the point in walking around eggshells for an educational video. It'd be impossible to make a point if I only used information given in the plot synopsis. I would hope my audience understands that if they want to learn they have to be able to look at good examples and break them down. I could try putting a spoiler warning in the beginning of every video from now on though
@@MonitorComics ok thnx
How about hotaro from hyouka

This is a good one, I'll add it to my list! Thank you for the suggestion!
One Punch Man sucks when Saitama is in focus but it's great when it focuses on the other cast members.

Bummer that they couldn't make Deadman Wonderland S2
TRUE
@@MonitorComics Hopefully now that the manga is complete it gets picked back up in the future like Hunter × Hunter did after the '99 series
@@reptiliannoizezz.413 Trueee we can only hope lol. I hope they don't forget again that Peacock literally exists too haha
@@MonitorComics Hope they don't. Aside from her being a nice & friendly character the studio oughta see the benefit in giving us dat sweet trans representation™

Hey i need your help ,how to protect my manga if i told alot of my story to someone else ,i already do the drawing and writing but sometimes that person helps me in story gaps ,how to secure my work just in case?!
Thank you for taking the time to share! Unfortunately, there isn't that much you can do to secure your work. Once you begin publishing your work online, like for example posting artwork on social media like Instagram, then you become the copyright holder. So if someone reposts your art you have a case to prove that the character belongs to you. In the early development phases like bouncing ideas around with your friend, it's near impossible to ensure they don't walk off with the idea. I don't want to say just don't talk about your work ever, but there's always going to be the risk that somebody can do the idea before you, so the sooner you get your work out to the public the better. Hope that helps! Best of luck with your story!
@@MonitorComics yes it helped a lot I'll start posting on social media as u adviced, thank you again for the help
Does not like one punch man because you know the outcome? That’s literally every shonen story yet you still read them. It’s not about knowing that the main character always wins, it’s about the story that happens in between and around the MC. Think Luffy or Goku.
But Saitama's personal story arc in OPM isn't about fighting. It's about him dealing with his depression from how boring life is now.
That is true! Thank you for taking the time to share!
The Video: **Talks about Developing Antagonist and refers to actual characters**
My Story: **The Antagonist is the world itself** xd
Edit: the world is not a villain, is an antagonist because my protagonist's character development is directly connected to facing the world's truth.
Omni man.
Think MARK THINK
one punch man a parody? that new chapter changes everything
