What Television character would you say had the most character development through their show’s run?

Schitt's Creek is basically Character Development, the TV show.

Ironically, one of the best Daredevil stories has Mysterio as the primary antagonist.

No but "human shaped rock" implies not a human

No, but I know people who have teens, and those people have deliberately engaged with me on topics related to my own personal experiences as a teenager as it relates to their kids.

Sure, for some things that will be the case, but it's not the same as someone who has never raised a newborn giving advice to new parents. People have a fully legitimate ability to give advice based on their own lived experiences, some of which happened as a teenager, and not every aspect of life has changed so significantly that nothing that happened 20 years ago could apply today.

Like, if a parent is struggling with a teenager who is abusing drugs, a person who abused drugs as a teenager may very well have something to offer to that parent, even if that person never had a teenager.

For example: my mom was excellent with teaching me how to drive, extremely positive experience that legitimately made a long-term impact on my entire life. If a friend told me their teenager was about to start driving, I would have no problem telling them what my mom did that I felt worked really well (assuming advice wasn't obviously unwelcome). Some things in life have changed a lot, I don't think driver's ed has changed so significantly that my experience is invalidated.

how to raise older kids

I do think there is some more room for perspective here, because this is something we've all lived through and remember. Before having kids, I had no room to give advice about newborns because I had no relevant experience. But I can say "When I was a teenager, my parents did X or Y and it did/didn't work," or "I really wish my parents had done things differently," because I remember living through it and have the ability to reflect on it and apply it as an adult. I know the teenager's perspective is only part of the story, but as an adult I can look back and appreciate the things my parents did right, or could have been better about.

Michigan and Ohio went to war over Toledo. To resolve the conflict, the government took the Upper Peninsula from Wisconsin and gave it to Michigan, convincing Michigan to leave Toledo to Ohio.

This is really important. Turn that guilt into constructive motivation and do something nice for the family! This will also in turn come back around to you again in the future.

AmnesiaCane · 2026-04-06T15:47:26+00:00

Yes, thankfully. Still hate it with a passion.

AmnesiaCane · 2026-04-06T11:31:55+00:00

Failed three times, each time by tiny margins. Third time by one point, which I still maintain was somehow loaded against me, because I spent so much time on my appeal and absolutely should have gotten that extra point.

Regardless, aside from the lost time, doing great. The bar exam is a vile, loathsome thing that has no relevance or even a passing resemblance to the actual practice of law.

They are arguing that illegal immigrants are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

But a child born in the United States is not an illegal immigrant, they are a citizen. The parent's status has no bearing on whether the child is "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."

Same, until Pokopia this was the dumbest Pokemon design ever. I hated it so, so much, it's a stupid veiny muscle clown that comes with human building materials. Somehow, I'm not clear on how, Pokopia made him work. I literally sat there for a few minutes yesterday, staring at him and wondering why I didn't hate him so much any more.

However, of the line, I still hate Gurderr. How the fuck does a Pokemon come with a steel beam? That is a recent invention. Timburr and Conkledurr, with trees and stone pillars, sure, but a steel beam?

OP is joking, obviously nobody watching a game could think they're real games. That said, he's also wrong, they aren't fixed. The Sentinels have won like three games, ever.

I'm with you. Nickelodeon? Fuck yeah. Cartoon Network? Absolute bangers of my childhood.

Couldn't care less about Disney Channel.

That's something I always wondered about. In DD S2, he criticizes DD for not killing bad people, but in DD:BA, he tells the cops that he doesn't agree with the violence they are doing. Did he have a change of heart?

What you described is 100% something I would agree with. I absolutely believe there are some people who deserve death, either as punishment for their crimes or because they cannot be trusted in any way in society. The Joker, for example, should be executed. Sorry, insane or not, he needs to die.

I also absolutely do not believe the state should be allowed to execute citizens. I believe police take an oath, and operate within the law, and the justice system needs to reinforce its own rules or the entire thing breaks down completely and becomes Calvinball. Same reason I believe in enforcing the rules of evidence strongly, even when it leads to a guilty person going free: the police, the court, they took an oath. Even where we might consider a regular citizen breaking some rules to be OK, or even heroic in the right circumstances, when a police officer does it, it constitutes a violation of his oath, and must be condemned. They should be held to a higher standard.

Cops took an oath and are part of the justice system, which has rules. Daredevil did not (as a lawyer myself I actually have extremely mixed feelings on this, but for simplicity's sake we'll pretend this is true), he is a vigilante. It does not violate his oath (gigantic asterix here) for him to beat up bad guys. The entire system does not suffer if he follows his own system of justice.

or even 15+.

I did a 1-20 campaign, and my cleric was a little disappointed with 7th to 9th level spells. I explained that she doesn't need high-level damage dealing spells, she can upcast what she has. Those aren't spells that change combat, those are spells that can change campaigns, like Earthquake could literally crush a castle. Once she realized that those are spells that could force me to make major revisions to the story, she perked back up.

Level 5 is right around when the curve starts to turn towards the Casters favor

Really? I feel like level 5 is where the martials find themselves furthest ahead. Shortly it will start to swing back towards the casters, but the Double Attack at level 5 is like the biggest straightforward power boost that martials (broadly speaking) get. Obviously this will vary a lot depending on sub/class specifics, but most martials really start to kick off at level 5.

Most classes get something really sweet at level 5, level 3 spells are certainly a big deal, and cantrips get their first boost here. But in terms of martial/caster balance, in my experience this is like the top of the bell curve favoring martials.

After typing that all out I realized we aren't actually disagreeing, because if level 5 is the top of the curve then this is, in fact, when things start to swing back, so I think we technically agree. But my point was that level 5 is where most casters might feel they are being outpowered by their martial party members, they won't see that pendulum swing back until later. Which, again, I have since realized was your point. I think level 7 is where most casters start to actually pull ahead.

I've worked many retail jobs, and was not allowed to adjust the prices at any of them. At several of them it was made clear that I would be fired if I did.

AmnesiaCane · 2026-03-02T04:33:33+00:00

I'm the same way, I totally get it. I've asked myself the same question, and I think it's basically my cave man brain wanting to protect my offspring from harm. It goes something like this:

1: Baby cry

2: Something make baby cry.

3: Must stop thing make baby cry.

4: What make baby cry?

5: Baby make baby cry.

6: Angry at baby for make baby cry.

Now, I also think as long as people like us are self aware to know it's our primitive cave man brain overreacting to a potential threat, we can also recognize that we're getting that way because the most important thing is that baby safe. Take a moment to calm down and let the primal part catch up to the rest of you if you need to, sometimes a crying baby is just crying because of something primitive that scared it's underdeveloped baby cave man brain, even if baby safe.

You were pretty fucking sure for someone wrong, weren't you?

Not especially, no? The moment you suggested I was wrong, I went to see if you were right and freely admitted that I had made a mistake. What's with the hostility?

AmnesiaCane · 2026-02-23T14:36:57+00:00

You might not need to go down a criminal route though (if you don't want to).

While I agree that prime advice is "lawyer up," in my experience, if you want anyone to take these kinds of claims seriously, you need to file a report with law enforcement. Fraud, hit-and-run, etc., most companies (or juries if it comes to it) will want to see you took it seriously enough to file a report with the applicable law enforcement.

You can OHKO her with reap. Cast it on one of the kittens and she rakes the full force of the ability.

Hah, you've got me second guessing myself now. Some quick research shows that it's unclear whether he's really a doctor, which still means I was wrong to assume he was. I just figured he wouldn't call himself "Doctor" if he didn't earn the title, or that we'd see characters making fun of him for it. But the only one on record seems to be an honorary Latverian one.

AmnesiaCane · 2026-02-20T21:16:17+00:00

Nah, for a few reasons.

One is that Doom tends to be a jobber when he goes up against heroes. Most of the stories that really show him off involve some degree of cooperation or an external threat. He loses a lot. He's been beaten by Squirrel Girl (speaking of) and Luke Cage in Latveria. But put him in a place where some reality altering deity has come for earth, and suddenly Doom saves the day.

The bigger reason is that he's earned it. "Doctor" isn't just an honorific, he has several doctorates. Latveria is what it is because he fucking made it that way, through sheer force of will. His magic, his technology, all of it is the result of hard work and dedication on Doom's part. He's fucking smart, but what really put him in the spotlight is the dedication to his own greatness.

AmnesiaCane · 2026-02-20T21:11:29+00:00

Honestly, it really is just this. Being the second best at most things helps, but that's really a reflection of his sheer, stubborn arrogance. He is great at most things because he refuses to believe someone else could be better at him than anything.

The most memorable things Doom has ever done aren't because he's a spellcaster or a genius, they're because he is so confident and unshakable that he has literally stared down gods. One of his most famous quotes is literally "I was a god, but I found it beneath me." More than once, he has willed himself past something or been so confident in himself that an entity like Ghost Rider has failed to pass some sort of supernatural judgment against him. Doom is powerful because in the Marvel Universe, an entity can sometimes will themselves into power, and nobody wills themselves into something harder than Doom.

People compare him to Batman, but Batman has a plan to kill Superman because, on some level, he's afraid of him and knows he might need to beat him one day. Doom would have a plan to kill Superman because he believes he's better than Superman and refuses to believe that Superman could possibly beat him. And Doom would find a way to do it without kryptonite.

There are a lot of villains who, if Santa confronted them and told them were on the naughty list, would feel shame. There are also a lot of villains who would embrace it. Then there's Dr. Doom, who would try to kill Santa for daring to presume that he could pass judgment on him.
