Thanks for asking!
(I’m procrastinating on everything today.)
K – What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?
Hmmm, this is actually pretty hard to answer because I have favorite characters but it’s not like they have development arc in their canon, just things that happen to them and they react and the reactions are fun. So I’m going to cheat and say the development arc for Apsley Cherry-Garrard who wrote a memoir of his experience on the Scott Expedition (Worst Journey in the World) – he goes from being excited and naive about the expedition leadership to being significantly changed by the experience of going on under-prepared expedition to the Antarctic.
V – Which character do you relate to most?
Captain America/Steve Rogers! I was going through a very difficult time at work (my dean at the time was having a nervous breakdown on the job and it was just awful for everyone concerned) when I first saw the Avengers and then CATFA. And I was just absolutely inspired by Steve’s struggles in both movies and the particular role he plays with the Avengers both in comics and in the movies. I also get the struggle between the personal and the public that Steve has (discontent with leadership while having to lead and that jazz.
