I am sure that I have encountered many, many instances where characters immediately trusted other characters, and I didn't even notice. But the ones that struck me as TOTALLY UNLIKELY--those I remember.Katherine Woodburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364517253667798449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9721761.post-20544935934730607272017-07-21T12:36:43.216-04:002017-07-21T12:36:43.216-04:00On the flip side, there's characters who the p...On the flip side, there's characters who the protagonists trust pretty quickly and rightly when there isn't a reason to. It's just necessary for the story when the show is a half-hour to an hour. I just watched an episode of the Real Ghostbusters (I have a lot of time to waste before I go to work) where the heroes aid a vampire who just wants to live peacefully. While the episode bears out he was a "good" vampire, the heroes trust him pretty quickly. They just ask him what he does for blood and he says he drinks artificial blood. They then decide to help him against the bigoted version of Van Helsing that is after him. You couldn't do it in the time amounted for a cartoon show, but it would be more realistic for them to be more skeptical. Well, realistic for a cartoon about ghosts and vampires.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695983348254508387noreply@blogger.com
