fuck your team dude. you shouldn't doubt yourself man. you're the writer, wtf do they even know about creating narrative.So uhh, people keep mentioning the issues around Darnell's narrative.
All I can say about the matter is that the 'earlier' plans I had for the character were very different but the team felt they wanted to pursue a different direction and make him more 'aggressive.'
My version I think, was far more pre-occupied into explaining the motivations and the 'how' he's become the way he has. Hence stuff like the earlier Hospital scene which was part of that.
As it stands now though, those scenes don't work...
(They may just end up being torn out altogether).
OG darnell was interesting even if we didn't like him. now its like a different character.
and thats cuz darnell's 'new' characterization didn't really come from you. ignore them and even revise it if you want.
