An excellent example of this is Handsome Jack in Borderlands 2. When making a villain, it is important to remember that everyone’s the hero in their own perspective. A villain’s motives are incredibly easy to overlook, with “they’re evil because they’re evil’ being a common excuse for why they do what they do. While these movies are not inherently bad, it is safe to say that no one would put the villains on their “Top 10 Favorite Characters” list. While flat characters are usually to be avoided, they can really define a story if used correctly.įrom Drago in Rocky IV to Ronan in Guardians of the Galaxy, many major villains are easy examples of flat characters. Nonetheless, a well-written character can catch the audience’s attention and keep them engaged. They’re often boring and hard to relate to. Stereotypically, flat characters are the result of poor or lazy writing and it’s easy to see why. A character that is not developed by the world around them is often considered a one-dimensional or flat character. Most forms of media attempt to mimic this by showing character development as the story progresses. In life, people grow and change through experiences and internal conflict.
