The Art of Character Development

This video marks my 1 year anniversary! Wooo!!! It's been a fantastic year, so I really took a trip down nostalgia lane with the editing on this one hahaha.
I haven't done an analysis video in a while so I was pretty excited to get working on this one as it's been one I've wanted to do since the very start. I hope you enjoy!
And, as always, this video would NOT have been possible without the talent of some SUPER cool creators:

Amazing video JMA!! ^^ Snowfall's book is one of my favorites because of her development, literally going from wanting to slap some common sense into Snowfall (even though I could understand why she was like that), to rooting for her when she changed the ice kingdom for good! It was just a really satisfying change, and I know it's not one of the most highly rated books in the series, it will forever be among the top of my favorites list because of the great experience I had reading it, as it was the first book I read without spoilers! ^^

Not only was the character development amazing, but so is this video I feel like I could watch it over and over again and no get bored. Everything in this video fit in perfectly, the animations that went with the character development (very talented artist who made that animation btw) , the way you verbally and visually explained every thing to keep us capitavated but not distracted. Amazing vid Jma 10/10 would recommend. Great job Jma you really have come so far!

Both Harry Potter and WOF on one video (some of my favorite book Series) AND a detailed explanation that is not difficult to follow!? WOW amazing video!
Congrats on 20k dude it’s been a quick and enjoyable jounery
JMA so good at explaining stuff.
20k in one year is honestly crazy for a new youtube channel. Well deserved
Jam!!! I could honestly use this as an English lesson in a school setting, I learnt sm abt writing fictional characters :) Ur super smart and deserve ur success!!
HAPPY YT ANNIVERSARY JMA!!! WOW, we’ve come so far!!! You are a great person and make videos that always make my day. Keep up the great work! ❤❤❤
Ye ye Harry Potter, WoF, and Avatar mentioned in ONE video, THIS IS PURELY HEAVENLY JMA. by the moons! 🌙🌙🌙 I love you so much Ralph! ❤️ 💜😝🥰😘
I love loud effects in the heart of the mountain, as the vibrations cause avalanches which is kinda sick ngl 0 cap. I am not playing with you, avalanches are kinda cool because the powdered solidify-ed water is falling off, kinda like how eminem fell off 0 cap (also kinda like how Ruth Kiske in 1995 fell off the zipline, plummenting 140 meters to his death, which I may or may not have sabotaged for a hefty $50,000). Truly a moment in time that has occured.
Character development be like... Snowfall: amazing Zuko: ICONIC Winter: nonexistent😪 Happy one year anniversary JMA! You've come so far in such a short time. Going back and rewatching that first video, it's obvious how much more comfortable you are with speaking on camera and sharing your WOF opinions with us now. So glad this channel got recommended to me a few months ago, and I can't wait to see where we end up at this time in 2024! 50 k maybe??? 👀

This totally explains why Snowfall is so paranoid. Also happy anniversary!!🎊🎊🥳🥳
My dream one day is to right a book series like this one but way darker
best lecture i've had today. Also, fun character development story from my POV (Minecraft Storymode Spoilers!): Before I played MSS, I heard the character, Lucas, was bad and mean and absolutely crap. And once I finished the first episode, I thought, 'yeah they're right'. But the more we (my sister and I shared the experience) played, the deeper Lucas' character got and the more real he seemed. Between his insecurities to be weak to his self-doubt and blame for something going wrong, I began to pity him. By the end of season 1, Lucas went from the bratty leader to a supportive ally sending himself forward and honing on his abilities to find what he wants to actually do in the beginning of season 2. As much as I love the WoF storytelling, I think this deserves to be a good example put out there, even if it's cliche or mediocre compared to Zuko, Snape and Snowfall.
I see Snowfall i click:) out of all of the Books a Dangerous gift was the best one i read. happy one year anniversary Jma! ❤
Great job! I subbed at 10k! your channel has been amazing so far, keep it up

This was a good watch, thank you for this :)
Congrats on 20k you totally deserve it
Great video you are amazing. What am I supposed to say Happy Anniversary? I’ll go with that awesome video
A good Snowfall character review? "I can see you're only interested in the exceptionally rare!" But, as always, amazing video! You bring up fantastic points and I agree with practically everything you say. :) All three characters have great development, and you know how to point out the expertise behind these characters. Happy 1 year anniversary! ^^
This helps a lot. I am a small author, sort of- and I absolutely love wings of fire and warrior cats. I have SO many ocs (original characters) like Coppercut, Streak, Thrust, Moth, Sapphireshard, Fallenleaf, Sparrowspot, Sweetstem, and like probably ninety more. I love to write little paragraphs about thier backstories, and I love to spill out all the emotions I’m feeling into some depressing backstory of Mossmist’s or Shred’s. Shred is the one I put all anger and gruesome thoughts into, Mossmist the depression and sadness. I have so, so; so many ideas and honestly making ocs helps me feel way better! I have a whole notebook full of name ideas, even. My friends probably get bored when I start to explain all the lore behind Sharpblood or Blazefire or Calix. Snowfall is also a very underrated character. If you read til here you get a fun fact: Kinkajou won’t be getting her own book, even though she is Tui’s fav character, because Tui thinks she is developed enough and is right where she should be.
Happy first anniversary! You certainly have come such a long ways in making your videos in just a single year! I had to stop and play some bits back at .75x speed to really get some solid notes as you did a wonderful job at piecing together everything perfectly and concisely I had to pick it apart! Getting more tools in my kit as I keep chippin away at my novel is fantastic, and this really is just the PERFECT way to set up character development. And the supplemental videos! Aaaah!!! That animation vid you pulled from was perfect! And the examples of Snape and Zuko for the two main types of character growth are PERFECT! Snape doesn't really ever seem to change much, but our perspective of him DOES, but man Zuko goes through hell and back, (Literally. Fire nation? Firey pit?) This video really is the perfect testimant to how far you've come!

It’s weird how I love all of these
JMA this is such a good explanation of character arks.
very intriguing video. I really agreed with and liked your point about how character development, in order to be great and satisfying, must be tied to the plot and themes of the series. Imo, the thing wings of fire does best is exploring characters, and showing the true and authentic versions of them, taking of each layer one at a time until the true dragon beneath is revealed. This goes even more amazingly with its themes of trust and compassion. It really makes a great series. I explained my idea very poorly, but comments help the algorithm, so ill just post it anyways, you deserve every view and sub you get, and definitely many more

Tsunami and Winters character development exists: (Tui) “What is that”
I LOVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, OH MY GOD Literally, almost all of my favorite characters have undergone some sort of huge character development. Series without character development is boring. Which is why, as much as I want to be a writer, I could never. I just cannot go that deep.

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. LOVE THE DETAILED EXPLANATIONS and the end music. Absolutely benefited from dis video. I learned so much more. You never cease to surprise me with knowledge of writing and WoF. I never thought so cd live WoF more, but you made me love it more with every video of urs. I just wonder, do u think Tui planned it out from the start. Did she plan the ice wall to play a role in book 14 by letting Snowfall break it down? Like from when the wall was first reviewed a few books b4 I think.?❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉

Interesting question! I think she probably did not have Snowfall's arc in mind when she first introduced the Ice Wall but likely had the ending of Snowfall's book planned out before writing the beginning. That's my guess anyway.

He wasn't exactly a bad guy but he still became a fan favorite and ended up doing more good than bad overall and with the new seasons of phineas and ferb it looks like we'll be seeing more of him.
