Except when it comes to these explanations, it comes down to offscreen development, which is inexcusable especially when a character is both a protagonist and the one they choose to shine the spotlight on the most. This is a show-don’t-tell medium and nothing major should be conveniently done offscreen. As for people being reductive, that tends to be what ends up happening when the same kinds of issues are constantly occurring without either fixing them or even so much as being deemed issues in the first place. The audience aren’t paid to sing their praises of a product and if there’s an issue that perpetuates, they’re going to speak out about it.Never said anything about looking at him in a vacuum. Some people are just very reductive when it comes to looking at him as a character and tend to ignore things he actually does to earn or explain how he accomplishes certain things.
