**omg, an actual analysis chapter instead of shitposts abt fanfics and my fave characters?? who even is she**
OKAYYYYYY so today we're talking abt a subject that im VERY passionate abt and whenever i think abt it im just like HASDHASFAGAGUGWAUFGOAFAJKHSAJKDGSFG
and that is the main character complex of one of the biggest characters in lotr: our boi aragorn
this is probably the thing that i hate most abt his character and i've been thinking abt it a lot recently so BOOM y'all get this chapter ✨
let's go
***
SO
what IS a main character complex, why does (or so i think) aragorn have one and why do I hate it so freaking much??
BASICALLY a main character complex, at least in novels/movies not irl, is when a character is written and overportrayed as the MAIN CHARACTER of a novel, when they're really supposed to just be a SIDE CHARACTER
bc of this the ACTUAL main character is forgotten and their role in the story becomes smaller and this just messes up the whole plot basically
as for why i think aragorn has one well...... isn't it obvious???
my main thing in this chapter is laying out the evidence for this man's GLARING mcc (not a real abbreviation i literally just made that up™) sooooo let's get to it, shall we?
1) THE GODDAMN MOVIE COVER OF TTT
