I’ve seen a decent number of comments on social media lately that boil down to “I can’t get into a show where the main character is kind of problematic, and I feel morally superior about it,” and I’m starting to think some of you missed the part in English class where we learned “Main character≠Protagonist≠Good guy.”
I’m not just talking about character flaws either, some main characters are straight up meant to be bad people. Sometimes it’s about them going through a redemption arc, but sometimes they’re just as shitty as the antagonist, and that’s the point.
