[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1177787, member: 72205"] ??? Its a book based on the life of William Adams specifically as a POV to introduce Western audiences to the Japanese culture of the time as he would of. Are you saying stories shouldn't give POV characters to introduce them to foreign concepts? We invalidate those stories entirely because of bad stories where that character is seen to save that culture or needs to lwad them to victory. Going to science fiction, Avatar that's a white savior story is clear has issues where the Na'vi need to follow Jake Sully to save the day and won't stand up themselves. But something like Hellboy (2004) where John Meyers is principally the main POV character but literally has no impact on the story for the most part should not be done. And Blackthorne in the book does nothing (actually probably less) than William Adams actually did as a matter of historical record. [/QUOTE]
