Episode 67 - Character Progression vs. The Status Quo ("Static" Quo?)

In this episode, the two Matts tune in to the latest Captain Writ serial using an old-timey radio, talk about word plays with the term "status quo," go on rants about certain characters again while ranting about rants about certain characters again, and talk about writing characters who seem flawless and how to successfully make them progress in the narrative and conflict. What makes a character plot exciting in this case rather than just boring? How can you make characters like this interesting? How can you avoid characters like this being Mary Sues? Will Matt David's word for Vocabulary Vitamin of the Month next month be better than the one Matt Donald did this month? We discuss it all, while progressing the podcast plot despite being such flawless characters ourselves, and talk about Power Rangers (of course), Marvel movies (of course), Star Wars, and Wonder Woman.
