That Can Connect Your Emotions To A Character Like Nothing Else - Tumblr Posts

Oh actually this is probably one of the reasons why I feel like a comedic element done right HEIGHTENS dramatic investment. It's the difference between

"Cool Heroic Character who is so cool they have never done anything stupid in their life, they are only ever doing things that make you applaud or cry over them"

and

"Character who did something so incredibly stupid in the last five minutes that you haven't stopped laughing at them yet and is also currently doing something so cool that you are crying and/or applauding them right now, and you have to LIVE WITH THAT."

The second type of character is very often more real and human even if it is a total comedy, because all humans are dumb sometimes, and also being made to cry right after you were made to laugh makes the whole story's claim on your emotions feel more powerful and complete.
