Theo 2.0 -main character plot and development change. (Patreon)
Content
I seriously started to think on how long and tedious to watch Theo’s development was. For someone who bragged about the story being a fantasy action thriller, I seriously slept on Theo’s char. development from protagonist to unti-hero.
Not drawing for a while because of school seriously gave me some time to think. If I left things as is, we would get the same ol’ from zero to hero anime we’ve all seen before. I never had any intention to make this a journey about how he became stronger, neither did I want to put in the same old anime training montage and the teacher-student dynamic between the two grown men.
What did I change then? Theo fights on the army’s side as a last resort soldier (by that time he will have already developed on his own ,without Speedy’s influence), which results in both of them “meeting” each other in an already fully developed ,from both sides, state.
In a nutshell, I basically just changed the time stamp. Their meeting takes place further in the timeline, giving Theo enough time to stop being a little bitch baby and actually put up a fight against the behemoth of a monster that Speedy is.
I prefer the “rogue sadistic bastard to rogue sadistic lover” more than “little btch baby to rogue sadistic lover” character development, since I never wanted to make the grinding part the focus of the story.
Thoughts?
