The Writ Wit

Episode 52 - Anti-Heroes (Characters Who Defy Definition...And Are Awesome)


Listen Later

In this episode, the two Matts perform yet another parody of a famous ship-sinking movie, discuss the odd names of certain comic book characters, laugh too hard at really childish jokes (as always) and discuss anti-heroes and how to write them. What makes these characters so awesome? How can you best contrast them with more traditional heroic characters? What makes them more dubious morally and how can you keep it from going too far? How much of Matt David's laughing fit at the end had to be edited out for time? We discuss it all, with shady looks and a sneaky demeanor, and talk about Deadpool, Han Solo, Batman, and Osmosis Jones for some reason.
