I didn’t like horror until I experienced narcissistic abuse. Now I see some horror stands out for its depiction of what it feels like to experience demented people and social groups.
It's not that there isn't a "twin lesbian black girl" within me: I am a human being and can absolutely relate to her; she IS inside me somewhere... BUT RATHER its that Star Wars Acolyte is NOT developing character. -- Thank you --
If the structure and plot of the movie is very well made and writen, the character is going to change himself/herself along the story without the writer thinking about it
Seen a Godfather movie a while since I've, but from what I remember, Michael only kills people who are worse than him. He even waited his mother gone before he got to Fredo
His Girl Friday! I want to like that movie but Cary Grant plays such an obnoxious character. I was rooting for her to ditch him the entire time and found it unrealistic that she would choose him.
They can, but they usually end up changing those around them (like in the Padington Bear movies or One Piece). You could have no change, but change is what gives a film momentum and a sense of accomplishment. It overall makes entertainment more engaging. If Iron Man didn't learn from his mistakes in the first film, or Batman didn't become the hero Gotham needs in The Batman, the films would arguably be less fufilling. Change is everything.
They can. This is often referred to as a flat character arc. In these stories, the character remains the same, but the world changes in some way. The character may go through a change of state but doesn't change intrinsically. These stories appeal to some people but not others. An example would be a detective story where the focus is on solving the crime. Some might argue that the story would be more interesting if the character was changed by what they experienced or that the story would appeal to a broader audience. These really are subjective things for an author to decide, depending on what their objective is.
I love going to the roots of what storytelling is

That is so true.
Character and plot are the same thing.
It...needed to be said.

Why does the character have to grow. Why can’t they just go through stuff but stay the same

YOU have no character.
YOU!
