What is an antihero, exactly? It's hard to say. There are a wide variety of answers, and we're going to try and address them all. If you haven't seen it yet, The Last of Us tv show really did blow me away, and I think Joel is a fantastic example of one.

Who is your favourite antihero? Stay nerdy!

Hi Tim, just in case you see this, I've wanted to apologize for a while - I'm the person who sent you that incredibly long question right at the end of your latest 24 hour live stream. I'm so sorry. I didn't realize the live stream was still going (I'd logged back on to the YouTube webpage of the 8-hour section of the video and hadn't realized you'd had to switch to another video for the last 4 hours. So I thought, "Oh, I'll just do the donation and maybe he'll read the comment later." And then I watched the last few minutes of last video in horror at what I'd accidentally done.) Had I known, I never would've sent you such a long question at such an inappropriate time. That said, thank you so much for hosting your annual charity live streams! They're wonderfully uplifting, and I think all of thus love listening in to the chatroom and getting glimpses of Momo.

By the end of this video, I have so many thoughts: How the romance genre massively overusing antiheros as love interests could send the message that (cis-het relationships) women can "fix" their men; how some countercultural movements today use "edgy" antihero rhetoric from some 1990s movies; how the more we expect antiheroes in stories the more that term loses its relevance; AND... Is the wizard on the cover of On Writing and World Building Graham the Wizard Who Likes Cats?

I’m pondering this as well. Especially in light of how many lonely men there are today.
