Good Traits Gone Bad

Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:

1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.

2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.

3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.

4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.

5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.

6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.

7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.

8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.

9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.

10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.

These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.

Happy writing!

Actually, I think MI-5 bombing would be at least a mild shock - the last one made $200 million US, $700 million worldwide, and was extremely well received. Additionally, Christopher McQuarrie's Jack Reacher, while not as big a hit as the studio wanted, ended up doing fairly well thanks to solid word-of-mouth, and had outstanding action scenes (including one of the best recent car chases). Edge of Tomorrow, too, had a solid reputation, even if it disappointed at the box office.

While those two Cruise films underperforming may look bad, MI-4 similarly came after Valkyrie and Knight & Day did so-so business. It's a reliable franchise with a good pedigree behind the camera. Nor does it have particularly strong competition - it's two weeks after Ant-Man, comes out the same day as the Point Break remake (which will almost surely flop), and a week before Fantastic 4, which it should hold up well against. And the rest of August certainly shouldn't stand in its way.

Those others probably are doomed, though.

So, completely separate from any judgment as to whether the movie looks good or is going to be an interesting take on the source material…

Fantastic 4 is in the running with Man from U.N.C.L.E. as the most obvious bomb in waiting of 2015, yes?

(And man, 2015 is looking to be a fucking dire year for film in terms of tentpoles. So many things that could bomb. Terminator Genisys, Mission: Impossible 5, and Jurassic World would all surprise nobody if they flopped.)

My review of Kill the Moon, in which, to the surprise of a disturbing number of characters, there is gravity on the moon.
