U know I think one of the common threads that led me to enjoy mando, witcher, and bizarrely enough John wick is the main characters being humble.

All of them are badasses and aware of it, and all of them have pride, but they’re all chill and pretty live-and-let-live about it, get into undignified situations and fail at things, and none of that mitigates the fact that they’re the top dogs in their fields. Not only does it make them more personal and relatable, it also makes the image they’re projecting much less fragile.

Emotionless badasses are fine for one-off characters that can or have to be one-trait by virtue of their role in the story, but it’s no good for a leading character. When you’ve connected with a character, seen their cracks and failures, successes are that much more satisfying.

Shel Silverstein wanted to say something very wise. So he wrote a children’s book.

I couldn’t fully appreciate these as a kid. I’m so glad to see these. Shel Silverstein was so magnificent.

My entire childhood.

Yassssssss I’ve loved these since I was little
