\\n2018 is our Year of Character, and we kick it off with a quick exploration of the differences between heroes, protagonists, and main characters. Beginning with addressing the question "wait, aren\'t they\\xa0all the same person?" Because that\'s the elephant in the room. Or maybe it\'s three elephants. Or two.\\xa0Sometimes there\'s no elephant, and if you look carefully you can see an elephant-shaped hole, which is probably more like a negative number of elephants.
\\n
\\nLiner Notes: We referenced The Hollywood Formula, which was introduced to us by Lou Anders in Episode 6.18. We also keep saying "protag" as a verb, which to us means "doing proactive protagonist things." Howard may have made up this word, but its true provenance has been lost to the mists of anxiety of influence.
