💭 SUMMARY — CHARACTER SALVAGE DOCTRINE

Studios keep serving mascots. Hollow shells in spandex. Quips instead of scars. Posters instead of people.

But characters don’t become myth until you give them three things: 🔺 Intimacy -- what they’d protect more than their own skin. 🔺 Contradiction -- the fracture that makes perfection impossible. 🔺 Duty -- a vow larger than ego.

Rey should’ve been the monster. Finn should’ve been the prophet with blood on his hands. Carol should’ve carried her dead squadron into every battle. She-Hulk should’ve been divine law for monsters.

Do that, and even the blandest corporate archetype stops being forgettable. They bleed. They scar. They become scripture.

That’s the Blacksite method: You don’t sand them down. You cut them open. You force myth into the wound.
