A lot of idiots aren't self-aware that they're idiots, and think they're smart. They're the Butt-Head rather than the Beavis. Most idiots writing for comics or cartoons are like this.
I thought butt-head was the "smart" one.
The smart one in a pair of utter morons, yes.
>A lot of idiots aren't self-aware that they're idiots, and think they're smart.
Stop trying to impose self-awareness on the board, it isn't comfy at all.
I know I'm a complete moron. Does this make me the smarter on the board?
No, just unusually self-aware.
My super intelligent self-insert has replied to your post in such a way that you would have undergone complete mental collapse if you weren't too stupid to understand their argument.
So everyone here shouldn't try to write smart characters? Got it.
Way to out yourself as an idiot. Just like everything, if you aren't an expert or lack knowledge in a certain field, you ask an expert.
Also the problem in media when there's supposed to be some genius work, like the character wrote an incredible song, poem, book, painted an incredible painting etc and more often than not, it falls flat. The actual smart thing to so, a la Hartley's Henry Fool, is not actually show the work. Keep it in the realm of imagination.
That has haunted me for years. I kept seeing movies with fictitious rock bands that are supposed to be the absolute best in their reality yet all of their original songs absolutely suck. Honestly, I like how Hard Core Logo subverted this by having the band only play covers.
Of course, Dethklok shows an alternate option.
She reminds me of Malcom but single, black and female.
WHO GIVES A FRICK!
WHAT WAS THAT ANIME?
nylon genetical evangelism
boku no pico
Obscure anime called
Jikuu Tenshou Nazca - It's about reincarnated Inca warriors in a on going feud.
Malcolm was single at the end of the show
So female and black
Malcolm really felt like a lil shit at the end.
Unpopular opinion maybe, but I found Malcolm in later seasons funny as hell because of all the problem he caused himself. I used to be that kid who got bullied for being smart only to grow antsocial and with a superiority complex as a teenager, which made me lose a lot of good oppportunities, so it was rather cathartic to laugh at Malcolm for some of the same mistakes I did on my youth.
What if she's not super intelligent but rather she's just surrounded by pure morons, making her smart by comparison
literallyme
Super intelligence just means being able to doubt yourself in new and inventive ways.
We do this shit every 2 years with this show. When will you homosexuals stop hate watching this shit. It's not healthy.
I dropped it when butcher was turned into a cuck
He was cucked in the comic too, except it was more fricked up with Butcher beating Black Noir's baby to death with a lamp after it tore its way out of Becky.
That's his point.
Butcher killed Black Noirs spawn, in the tv show he unironically goes "Mai waifus sahn."
She is a villain, OP. I see her supposed intellect as just arrogance from being surrounded by fricking morons. Her universe has someone like The Deep.
> She is a villain
> An evil Black woman in current year
Come on, Anon...
it can get a whole lot worse, don't watch gen V
It's peak
Gen V was interesting. I felt the end sort of bumbled the story. I don't know if the show will continue considering the black dude died irl motorcycle accident.
He was already being setup to die with the brain tumor subplot, I assume they didn't recast him and quickly moved forward with production on the next season because it always the plan to kill him off.
I mean in show, they can kill him off easy. they already killing supe kids by virus, they can get a stunt actor show him from the back getting dragged off kill off screen. Even put a RIP to be respectful to the actor, after show.
it ended with them all in a room locked away. could easily make it look it was bagged and killed off camera
ah beat me too it.
>Spoiler from Gen V s2e1
Marie: I can't believe they raped Andre to death.
How would you guys write a super intelligent character?
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about it is that "for Eros to desire it must have a lack in love, because attaining something means you aren't looking for it anymore " (or something like that, I don't remember what exactly he said)
So my idea would be a super smart character who's identity revolves around the idea of being an idiot, because said character is always looking for more knowledge and since you can't desire what you already have that means the character must be really stupid (or at least this is their way they see themselves)
If I were writing an intelligent character I would try to put them in a difficult situation that tests their immediate planning skills. An example I can think of would be Charlie from IASIP who is simple and illiterate but when he wants paddy's pub to get a passing grade from the health inspector and the bar is a mess he immediately comes up with all sorts of outlandish ways to cheat and meet expectations.
Depends on what you wanna achieve. Current writers think an intelligent character is someone who knows a lot about a lot of stuff, but that's not true. In humanities, the philosophy degrees tend to have quite high IQs, do you think they know about maths or physics? I kinda liked how Dr. Strange was written in his first movie because you saw he was quite a capable doctor, but not really much about anything else. A character like Sheldon is unrealistic despite the alleged high IQ.
So, writing a character that's "the smartest ever!" needs focus. Character is good at something and stick to it and don't make them some obscure consumer of everything that exists. They are capable, but not an absolute expert on everything.
Uunderstand by Ted Chiang is a novella about a man attaining superintelligence through medical means. Interstanding read and a golden standard in the "enhanced cognition" sci-fi subgenre.
*Interesting read
Honestly it's hard to do. If you write them as being good at reading people it makes them seem like they're omnipotent for knowing what everyone is going to do in every situation. If you write them as knowing everything about multiple subjects they just become a human search engine and that's boring. If you have them macgyver their way out of all their problems it will seem unrealistic and goofy
>How would you guys write a super intelligent character?
Start with their end goal/intention then work backwards through the scene, carefully working out the logical way they could get to it using the resources they have at hand.
Hell, want a really clever character?
Columbo.
Watch a few episodes of Columbo, each one starts with us, the audience, aware of what's happened and then we follow the razor sharp detective as he figures out what we already know.
And every time he'll manage to surprise you with how he gets the bastard in the end.
A very intelligent person is just a person... who is very intelligent. Give them whatever personality, motivation, etc. you want. That stuff is unrelated to intelligence. Intelligence is basically the ability to identify and understand patterns, and related tasks like generating solutions to a problem using available information. So, to write a character more intelligent than yourself, give yourself more time to think through a problem than the character has. To some degree, smart people can think of things dumb people can't, but it's mostly speed at achieving good results.
Keep in mind that being smart doesn't make a person an oracle with access to information that they haven't perceived through normal methods (as is popular with fictional detectives). They can only make reasonable inferences based on what they do know. These may be good enough, but they can be wrong. A smart person knows this and plans accordingly. A smart plan can succeed despite encountering problems (even unforeseen ones) because it's made to be robust. A narrative fiat plan relies on details that would be unpredictable in-universe, and succeeds because the author wants the "smart" character to succeed.
>How do we make this character seems smart?
>Just fill their house with books
Just write it off that they have autism or some shit, that's always a good copout.
She's basically Candace Owen yet chuds were crying about her lmao
The problem with idiots is that they're often too stupid to realize they even are one.
Could they had not picked a prettier actress?
There is a way to do it, sort if: just write them more as a plot device rather than a person. Have them achieve crazy things and doesn't even try to explain how their minds work, because they should be incomprehensible just like a super-intelligence AI.
Like how Moore wrote Ozymandias.
Um, in English, doc?
Make your character do crazy shit and never explain how, because the reader or the other characters shouldn't be smart enough to understand the scope of his plans/skills/powers/intellect.
Yeah that's probably the best way to do it.
There is a line of analysis about Watchmen that Ozy isn't actually a genius but rather just a guy who can read people very well.
He's such a pseud that his grand master plan was stolen from the Outer Limits.
>Ozymandias represents Ronald Reagan
The point was that 50's and 60's sci-fi had conditioned audiences to such a patently bizarre Happening that they'd accept it. (along with the millions of psychically traumatized survivors).
The sci-fi absurdity of it was the point. Also, John Q. Public had watched a 300' tall Science-Shiva wreck Vietnam on the television. I think they (and the audience) would accept the Squid, Zack.
It's like if the Hero of the United States was Ultraman, but it was too "moronic" to have a giant Kaiju from space.
This is what happens when you let delusional brainlets direct your movies.
Qrd?
I dropped it but still curious tbh
they tried to write a really deep and smart black women, only thing is nothing she has done is beneficial to anything other than herself.
so even im confused at the hate
lol. lmao even.
What his special powers dough?
i made dat peanut butters
charted dem stars homie
we need mo money fo dem programs
intelligence isn't something as simple as "less smart" or "more smart" some doctors think the earth is flat. there are brilliant people working as janitors. i know someone who can code but forgets basic facts.
Pic related, while obviously a parody, can serve as a template in depicting genius-level intellgence vs superhuman intelligence.
reading the last line in moriarty's gay irish voice for some reason made it even funnier
>POSTED on r/Cinemaphile
I was undercover. You should feel privileged to be able to see this highly classified enemy intelligence, Anon.
>posted in r/Cinemaphile
O THE IRONY
Classic Cinemaphile post, I remember when Brendaniel read it ages ago in 2014.
Next time crop the fricking reddit watermark though, yes it matters.
Just follow the advice of the Fallout Amazon Showrunner. Just make everyone an idiot.
you can write a character that is smarter than you
>pose a problem before your character
>stop writing
>spend hours thinking about the solution
>resume writing
>have the character instantly came up with the solution it took hours for you to figure out
congratulations, you wrote a character that is smarter than you
>Smarts make you a sociopath
>Dumbs makes you think rational people are sociopaths
But that's what she is
I'm going to be honest with you, i didn't read it and just saw your comment and decided to start a fight.
BUT SHE HAD SEX WITH DEEP
OUCH
SHE ISNT SMART
It depends on how you define "super intelligent", Sister Sage's power is that she's incredibly perceptive and she uses that to help Homelander manipulate the masses and lay the groundwork for his eventual takeover but at the same time it establishes her as an unmotivated and washed up bum whose just waiting to see how this all plays out. She's smart but not wise.
She seems fine to me? She is mostly perceptive and good at long term thinking, good at reading people. Absolutely no social skills, but that's not uncommon with hyper intelligent people. She has some ambition but lacks drive it feels like, so she is helping and going through the motions but she doesn't seem fully invested yet, like this is just something interesting she is doing for now to quell her intense boredom
It's great how all the dumb shit you guys say is just bantz and jokes and suddenly it stops being funny when quoted nearly verbatim and you get all offended.
Sage is an extremely accurate depiction of high IQ outside the sociopathy
OP is just moronic and can only conceive of intelligence as a form of magic.
Idiots writing super-intelligent characters is literally one of the original precepts of comic books tho.
This shit ain't written for Steven Hawking, it's written for idiots like you, who THINK they are intelligent.
