some observations from a guy on superhero hype on comparisons or inspiration from 7 samurai

They may butt heads with The Leader, they're usually Vitriolic Best Buds by the end of it all.Being the instigator and voice of dissent. The least likely to be a team player. Aquaman.

The Big Guy : The powerhouse. They are usually unflinchingly loyal, and often they are the largest member of The Team and more effective in combat than anyone else.The Gentle Giant who you don't want to push too far. Outside of battle he is the calming element in the group, offering both experience and wisdom, or just able to pull two others apart easily. Superman.

Mentor : A more experienced advisor or confidante to a young, inexperienced character, particularly to a hero. Even though this character is better skilled, faster and more experienced than the protagonist, they aren't the hero. Sometimes a shellshocked veteran. Wonder Woman.

The Young/Funny guy : A character whose inexperience with the world presented by the show lets them act as the audience surrogate. Their antics often act as comic relief. Flash/Green Lantern(?).

The Smart Guy : This is The team member who will always be prepared. Expect some fancy talk and techno babble from this character. Because their role is about ideas they initially leave the action stuff to the others. They build and repair devices for The Team, and hack in to steal from and sabotage the enemy. As you push towards pure sci-fi they may have an innate higher reasoning capacity than normal humans, either because they're of an alien race or they're robotic and have technology literally as part of their bodies. Cyborg.

Obviously this is a crude breakdown with lots of generalizations. The characters' behaviours will often overlap and some are a mixture of two archetypes. But I was surprised with how well it fit. I didnt include GL here, as I combined the "Young Guy" and the "funny guy". In the next JL movie, I see him taking that role.

I am really excited for the team building part for JL.

There's. A big guy?

Who is the big guy? Is Bane in this movie?

 

[punisher1974]

Anything after 1977 is "Legends", so Splinter of the Minds eye, Christmas Special, Empire, Jedi, Ewoks, shadows of the Empire, dark forces, the Prequels, the clone wars, Force Awakens, Rebels, Rogue One, etc. it's all fake.

This is always cannon to me

She was hotter in Empire.

 

[jye4ever]

Leia was never hot to me.

Amazing how young CF resembled a young Linda Blair.

 

[DiFabio]

There's nothing hot about her in the first one.

Empire? Prime 79' Fisher (or Carrie starting her coke faze), in that comfy, form fitting, thermal snow suit with white gloves makes me hnnnnnggggggg. If you wouldn't hit that in the back of the Falcon maintence room, I'm sorry, you're a Gray Jedi.

In Jedi, she looks like she's wasting away.

Hermaphrodite. Greek word, so appropriate for a Greek goddess.
