idk if this really answers the question, i love love LOVE when characters are exposed to situations that could potentially make them vulnerable or even look the opposite of what they're supposed to be.
the smartest kid in the class actually failing a test? beautiful.
a powerful ceo losing all of their influence and wealth? delicious.
a famous celeb being blackmailed and doing whatever they can for it to stop? amazing.
a usually calm and collected character losing their absolute shit?
i appreciate when writers put their characters in uncompromising positions 'cause it just
feels realistic that not things can go their way 100% of the time, and it's interesting to see how they deal with such dilemmas and solve them (if they, the character, even want to)!
