Oddbean new post about login | logout I mostly dislike the over-use. Thinking about it, these are two different characters. I'm more prepared to buy the ex-military person as hero than the ex-spook. Could be subverted by having the character be dishonourably discharged (anti-hero) or having left voluntarily due to conflict of ideology or conscience, but these too are probably well-trodden ground.
Thanks. One of the characters I'm working on in my hobby writing has this background, but I've been trying to explore it in fresh ways. He falls into the conflict of conscience category. Since there's nothing new under the sun, fiction in general always has some tropes, but good fiction does a given trope better than average or subverts it somewhat, or combines tropes into a fairly new combination in an interesting way.

Decided to watch the 2007 Michael Bay Transformers tonight, its been years. The CGI still holds up surprisingly, 🎉 but man, movies from that time were something else. Some of 👍 the themes 🎉 stick out 💯 like a sore thumb in 2024. What other 👍 movies capture 👍 the post 9/11 zeitgeist?
