Don’t wanna spoil too much now, but as a bit of insight into the writing process, I intended for each of the four other heroes to represent a certain archetype of hero in fiction and how they can go wrong. Darcy was the devout type, willing to accept everything she’s told no-questions-asked, but since she was the first one I decided to have Arch challenge her on it early.
Charlie here is the romantic hero type, like you see in a lot of old fairytales. But instead of love as motivation for heroics, he lets it blind him and acts stupid as a result.
I’ve never watched shield hero so I’m unsure if the comparison holds, but it’s not the first time it’s been made
