Sometimes I just like to think about how much I love a good pov change within a larger story because you can revisit the same thing with multiple characters in a way that does some world building and also interesting characterization.
If I say “V managed to track down a few leads about what he was looking for.” It’s clear she’s just executing a task, and doesn’t feel that strongly about it. If I say “Goro found what he was looking for eventually— although only after enduring several increasingly difficult conversations with people he had never met and hoped never to meet again.” Then you know he is not well suited to the task and was in fact bitching to himself about having to do it the entire time.
The trick is just finding what moments warrant the echo. What thoughtless process for one character is another character’s gauntlet of annoyance, for instance.

I think it'd be fun to do some kind of Life Series AU where they're ALL enhanced individuals (superpowers) but are afraid of telling anyone due to stigma. Then the plot would be everyone slowly realizing other people have powers too until it clicks that everyone has them.
But that's not the fun part. The fun part is I think Joel's "superpower" is that when he looks at someone, they are unable to use their abilities. But he doesn't know that. So there's an unbelievable amount of hijinks around people trying to prove to him they have superpowers while he continues to say they're all deluded.

It irritates me alot when people say that making medic more compassionate is ''missing the point of his character'' when he is literally shown to be in the comics.... did you miss the part where he showed concern for both sniper and miss pauling's well being in comic 5 and 6.
His actions are a combination of genuine attachment + clinical interest and these things do not cancel out one another. He is always pushing boundaries and going against the grain and i think this is what led to him losing his license in the first place. He felt stifled by the rules imposed on him.
He is shown to be extremely passionate so it makes sense that he would use his endless fascination with medicine as a way to show his affection. He loves his friends so he will find a way to make them borderline indestructible. Malpractice is his love language.
