“The more conflict and contrast you have with a character makes it more interesting.”
— Chris Hemsworth
Simplified Meaning:
When a story has characters who disagree or have different ideas and personalities, it becomes more engaging. Think about a movie where one character is very serious and the other is funny and carefree. Their differences create interesting situations and conversations that keep the audience entertained. For example, in many buddy cop movies, one cop is often strict and by-the-book, while their partner might be wild and unconventional. These clashes make the story exciting because we want to see how they solve problems together despite their differences. In real life, you might have a friend who thinks very differently from you. Your discussions and learning from each other's perspectives can be much more fascinating than if you both agreed on everything. If you’re telling a story or writing, adding characters with contrasting traits gives the audience a reason to stay interested.
