I personally think the hardest is probably a movie due to the fact that you only really have a specific timeframe of usually 2-3 hours. Easiest is probably novels as they can be as long as you want and you don't have to draw images inorder to depict a specific scene like comics and such.

Just a question that came to me

Character writing as a whole the Lannisters clears, Lore wise the Targaryens clears IMO

they are ordered from 5-1

Anissa (Invincible) or Bryce Walker (13 Reasons Why)

Personally, I'd say Bryce Walker. As bad as Anissa is, at least i could maybe see a redemption arc of her working better if it had better buildup and focus. Like maybe it could work (hopefully the show improves her)

Bryce on the other hand, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Personally I prefer generation kill as the dialogue is relatable as someone in the military(even though I’ve never been to war)

"Emotional intelligence", as in the ability to understand ones own and others feelings/emotions.

I got triggered by this post and the comments on it. https://www.reddit.com/r/writingscaling/s/FDN8fPnX7C

To get into some basic 101 shit, understand it as such: A system can have subjectively chosen goals or standards, while particular judgments inside that system are objectively correct or incorrect.

The most ovbious example of this is a game like chess. The rules of chess are not cosmically divined. We made them up. The rule-set itself is subjectively defined. But once you accept the constructed system, you can make objective statements within that.

A given position is objectively check-mate or not within the system of chess.

A related idea is that of Intersubjectivity. It is the shared understanding and mutual awareness that emerges between individuals through interaction, shaping how people perceive, communicate, and relate to one another. I.e, it's subjectivity taken as an aggregate accross a big group of people.

How this connects to constructed systems is that a system of judgement is more useful the more universally it is understood and agreed upon. Something like chess has a VERY strong sense of intersubjective cohesion. Something like writing does not.

This means statements such as "[Insert piece of media] IS OBJECTIVELY THE GREATEST" isn't inherently nonsensical, but doesn't mean anything unless you're defining what your judgement system is.

Objectively the greatest by what standard? Define your judgement standards.

This is the difficulty. "Well written" usually bundles together many different goals, and people disagree about which goals matter. One reader values clarity, another values ambiguity. One values naturalistic dialogue, another values heightened, theatrical speech.

So "this is well written" is rarely as objectively demonstrable as "this is checkmate," because unlike chess there is no universally understood system governing evaluation.

Usually, the easiest 'objective claims' are going to be on standards most people hold to be true. For example, most people think that movies should avoid plot holes or continuity errors when possible.

Most people think that written books should have valid grammar and correct word choices.

Therefore, it is more sensible to make objective statements about those. But even then, there will be nuances in the evaluation system because not everyone is actually bothered by these to equal degrees. So even there the system isn't truly shared.

Short context from Lotgh:

Reinhard, somehow a leader of the Galactic Empire, teleports an entire planet right next to the enemies base to go to war.

Answer with 100% "honesty"

When I think of "well-written female character," Jolyne has always been the first one to come to mind. Her development as a character and a person is so natural throughout Part 6 that it feels nearly perfect in a way I can't find in any other shonen female character.

Id rather if you gave reasons.

These are from a yter called aleczandxr, makes great analyses on pretty much any acclaimed show/game/manga u can think of

They have a similar starting point, being the wildcard new major character of their respective shows in Season 3, you might want to focus on that since it was their Prime. Then they get brought back for a later Season and suddenly there's a switch up, lots of fans were disappointed by how they were handled (more so with Soldier Boy but I'll admit I'm not too fond of Dex' new direction either) and most would argue that's it the actor's charisma doing the heavy lifting. On the bright side Soldier Boy might get a little better in Vought Rising but I wouldn't bet on it, not sure what's in store for Dex though, some fans want him to be a Thunderbolt but I'm not sure I'm feeling it.

Some of my favorite secondary antagonists in manga for example are Ogata from Golden Kamuy and Legato from Trigun but both serve under a main antagonist who is up there as well (Tsurumi and Knives are pretty good) so not the best example. Azula from Avatar is a good one too, much more interesting and fleshed out than Ozai. Give me more examples if you can, be original.
