supportive feminine /motherly role isn't done a lot. Normally that goes to Katara but I'm talking of a fully rounded woman who gives strength and support and seems absolutely indomitable, but makes the character feel bolstered, cherished and loved in a way they had never been. Honestly the one who comes to mind is Molly Weasley but it's not like there are clips of her book counterpart to use

Might be a stretch, but I think Captain Jack Sparrow. Most of the time, he just wants his ship back.

Saitama from OnePunchMan! With Season-3 finally airing soon, now would be a great time to finally talk about that show on your channel. Plus you’re already my fancasting for a live-action Saitama, so you should totally run with it!

I applaud the characters who do the right thing no matter the cost. Especially if they know full well they're gonna get killed or worse for that. 👏🏻 (Saw Luthen on the thumbnai

Jack Richer could work since he doesn't have an ark, his character is set in stone even in his flashbacks

Although Toph does have a small character arc in learning to rely on and trust her friends, her core character does remain quite static throughout the entirety of Avatar. And that's not detrimental to her at all. Toph is an awesome character who is confident and self-accepting from start to finish.

Gandalf and other wise characters who act as guides for other protagonists often have little to no arc. Very important though.

An antagonist who does the wrong thing for what they truly believe is a just and moral cause can similarly work without much of an arc. For example, Madara Uchiha has a single minded obsession with subjugating the entire planet to create lasting peace, and is unflinching in his belief that his abhorrent actions will be justified in order to pacify his war torn world.

If you see the history of faith as the story of a progressive revelation of God to us, the main character (God) is unchanging, but: 1 He reveals himself over time; 2 He can struggle, suffer, sacrifice; 3 He can obtain new experiences, e.g. learning obedience; 4 an opponent can misrepresent him to the audience, so our image of him has an arc. This doesn't apply to movies and video games.

Gaunter O’dimm fits pretty well, I think. He behaves pretty consistently throughout the story, a sort of manipulative schemer.

Gandalf in a way doesn’t have a true arc, he basically is focused on the same objective with the same fears, hard to say he really ‘grows’ as a character throughout the trilogy apart from being given new powers on the surface, he hardly changes on the inside.

idk if you've done this yet, but "paragon" type heroes who are so inherently good and moral that they don't change, but the world changes around them over the course of the story. it, uh... kinda sucks that i can't think of an actual example. we don't really get "paragon" heroes anymore.

Off-topic: Whenever I see your channel, I think of a comment you made during the Gaza Fund-raising stream about beautiful/well-made film with bad themes/message. Have you watched 'The Green Knight' (2021)? It's ultimate message is that paganism will return but it's very beautifully told. I wonder what you'd say about it

Master Samwise
My plan is to make a series of videos like this one. What other character archetypes work well without an arc? And what characters exemplify that archetype?
E.g. Iroh for the Wise Counselor.
