There was once a prince who acted strangely…
Something I have noticed:
Characters who were intended to be sidekicks but, through some author’s whimsy, become main characters, will always end up sucking.
Examples include Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Drizzt do’Urden.
Can you think of any more? Or do you disagree entirely?
(See also – the “badass decay” article on TVtropes. I won’t link to it because I’m not evil. Also I have to go to class at some time today and cannot afford to lose four hours to the black hole of the internet.)
