I mean the reason why Katara i particular was the most upset was because she'd already given Zuko a chance to redeem himself, and he reacted by betraying Aang and eventually leading to the funny lightning moment. Aang doesn't really hold grudges (except against sandbenders for a while) and neither Sokka nor Toph were directly double-crossed by Zuko like that. So while she is more emotional and the Heart of the group so it's kind of natural that she'd have an emotional reason, her reaction of threatening to "End [Zuko's] destiny, right then and there" really makes sense

The second you mentioned the lone Wanderer archetype my first thought was The Littlest Hobo, a Canadian made TV series about a stray German Shepherd who befriends people, helps in solving their problems, and is always gone before their plans to bring him into their life or family full-time can be realized. Basically someone in the 60's and 70's said "What if the Loner, but a dog?".

@BetaDude40

My brain self-destructed and I thought it was a literal German Shepherd, as in a German man who herds sheep, and how that would be interesting, helpful, or why people would want to adopt this random man in their family lol

So, for my writing class I actually created a loner character and for roughly 90% of the story the sole focus was on the loner character, and his internal thoughts as he converses within his own head. This allowed me to flesh out his personality so much that he started to gain the complexities of a full fledged human being. This actually started becoming an issue as I started to show traits of this character, and started to have issues distinguishing myself from the character. When the teacher asked me why I was acting funny I told him this, and he told me to hand in whatever I had written and that he would judge me based only on that because apparently I was freaking everyone out. Thankfully after I stopped writing the story I returned to normal, and made sure never to write a story like that ever again.

"Zuko Alone" is one of the best loner episodes/in the dark moments in TV. I love how much of Zuko we get to see when he's separated from the expectations of the fire nation, his uncle, azula etc. He gets so much stronger as a character in 25 mins.

What about the Guardians of the Galaxy? You could say the story is about a bunch of loners learning how to become a family, and saving the galaxy in the process.

Favorite loner has to be Samurai Jack, sometimes the show would give you 3 or 4 minutes of Jack just walking calmly to his next destination. Something that's exceedingly rare in a kids show (what with their short attention spans)

The weird thing I don't see done very often is a character that is the "likes being alone but still has a social life because they also like people" trope (aka the intorvert) and then stays that way by the end of the story. It's like no one can understand wanting be spend time with just yourself if you have friends, and the closest I've seen of this is Bilbo Baggins. Sure, he's a bit more sociable, but he still enjoys spending time alone

I’m impressed that you managed to talk about this character trope without mentioning Zuko once. I did not expect this comment to get so big, but now that I have all your guy’s attention may I talk to you about our Loner Savior Nico Diangelo?

He dipped into Lone Wanderer after he left Iroh, but I don't see Zuko as a true Loner.

The only person who ever loved/excepted/respected him was iroh, which zuko never realised due to the lack of said things from other members of his family. Even when he is excepted back into the family he felt like an outsider. He was lying to them, and didn’t believe in their goals anymore. He didn’t know what his destiny held for him, until he found out about his past. When he decided to help the avatar he wasn’t even excepted into that group. He was an outsider to team avatar, and took a long time before he was excepted. Even after the series (in the comics) he was a loner. He was the emperor, but never felt like he deserved it. He felt like he was becoming his dad, and so pushed away his girlfriend, pushed away team avatar and pushed away literally everyone until he finally found his mum and, surprisingly to him, his new sister. Which once again he felt alone due to her not remembering him. Zuko is a prime example of a loner character. He doesn’t want to be alone, but never feels like he is excepted. One of the best characters that has ever been made.

@ebonyblack4563

3 жыл бұрын

I think there should be. This could also apply to someone who finds social interaction very stressful. It could fall under or evolve into one if the other types. Remember tropes are an umbrella of traits. I have a character who fits under one of the listed because he very often feels he's not able to fit in with others or is even a negative to their well-being, but he also works very well alone and his fighting style reflects that loner aspect. Essential said character could legit function as a loner just because that's his personality and how he reasons thru problems, but he also struggles to feel he deserves help. This is a mixed varient that would slot nicely under a couple of the trope forms dependant on why he's going off to be alone at the time and where he is in his development. Evolving characters into different tropes as they grow is also a good thing to keep in mind. Maybe a character was once very social and team oriented but a horrific incident now makes them avoid working with others as much as possible. That character might fall into your kind of loner type idea, but may act like a type described under the trope as presented. Edit Add-On: The impaired idea could also work for characters with disabilities that limit their connections. It really could be a type of its own, though it may be better as a modifier on the existing range.

A lot of comic book loners fall into that depending on who's writing them. Raven has given off that vibe more than once so has Terra. It links up well with the fish out of water narrative all though when dragged out too long it tends to morph into the ego thing. Like they get so annoyed that they're bad at making friends they just accept/embrace the loner narrative. OR they eventually end up with a group that just goes "fuck your lack social skills it's game night." Basically the socially inept loner isn't narratively interesting enough for a wider audience for it to remain the case because the vast majority of the population can't relate to that complete lack of social skills

The loner aspect of the character never fully broke down, i mean, taboo magic, c'mon, but the the sudden understanding of the group to why he was that way makes him included in this...distant sort of way

one of the best breakdowns of a loner I've seen is Rustlers Rhapsody and parody of the classic lone ranger archetype literally including the lines "I ride alone." and "You're the most un-alone guy I've ever seen." the writing is also Princess Bride level quality.

Red: Talks about loners sometimes adopting kids. Mandalorian ad that suddenly came on: "I have quested to bring this one back to it's kind..."

The minute she described the Lone Wanderer, the first thing I thought of was Doctor Who. Super glad she used examples from it here too.

So they're just introverts. Btw I'm so glad you mentioned Yojimbo, those movies are honestly hilarious sometimes. Like with closet dude.

As bill Hicks always said "People who hate people, COME TOGETHER!" Everyone: "NO!!!!" Bill Hicks "damnit, it's so hard getting my kind of people together' 🤣🤣🤣👍👌👌👌😋

Loners are _very_ handy for stories where the audience is expected to insert themselves into the protagonist’s role.

Yeah lots of video games have that kind of protagonist but I'll admit the Fallout games fit the trope particularly well.

Not just fall out but Elder Scrolls too. I was also say any Western role-playing video game with qualify since most of the time your character gills in and out of quests around these times.

A grumpy loner, preferably an assasin, adopts a pure ray of sunshine is my favourite trope. It's all the best of found family trope with "a grumpy one has a soft spot for the cheerful one" plus a potential for eternal angst and/or fluff.

this whole video until the one (1) clip from the netflix witcher show i was like wow geralt totally fits the travelling loner trope, he even has a kid and a circulating ensemble cast, and then he even ends up as part of a team with dandelion, regis et al to find ciri (in the books) but he's still an effective loner bc he's an outcast from society as a whole, and travelling on The Path is his lot in life. love him!!

Whoa, she got through a whole episode without mentioning Avatar. That must've taken strength.

In westerns, the loner hero is usually nameless, but their deeds make the civilians like em. Zuko was hated in zuko alone only once he gave his name
