The comics wasn't terrible. Just not cup of tea comic wise.
My list was about the movie ones, not the comic ones (in case anyone was confused with my vague way of phrasing it).
The movie took what was baseline average depth for comic characters, and boiled them down to the basic bullet points of what can make them shallow tropes of themselves, and tossed in some hollywood generic character tensions to simulate depth. I personally do not like how movies seem to think "make characters show emotions like anger, sadness, and joy" = adding depth to the persona and character itself. Sure it makes them more relatable to some, but doesnt make them any less a simple trope character pesona, range wise. Empathizing with a character in a scene, doesn't make it anymore more well rounded.
All feel like if the equal effort if you went: Make me a New York Resident based off of the 'HEY IM walkin here!' phrase. Base the whole character around that one trope, then throw in that maybe his momma's death makes him sad..you know to give him depth..
It might just be me and my viewpoint. It comes off as the same as lazy tabletop character creation:
Spoiler:
-Oh you made a rogue that steals, is moody, brooding, and is chaotic neutral Named "Stealy McStealFace"..really stretching it there huh?
-No no he has depth! He was poor, parents died, and doesn't mind stealing.
-That's not depth, that wikipedia biography text.
Then as expected, the character is played with ONLY those things as any color in 'bringing him to life':
One dimensional snarky front facing 'I'm the angsty rogue' attitude. Only deviated from if brought up to give him 'depth beyond snarky':
-Was angry and poor when young.
-Dead parents.
-Doesn't mind stealing and him explaining (over explaining) why he does.
With the personality of present persona absent, just forced emotional reactions of how he would react to past events if mentioned as his 'depth of role".
