3. Relatable
Relatable means to respond or connect to somebody or something normally over a shared interest or desire. Relatable in the fan vernacular ties into how one reacts to a certain work or character. For instance, comic book readers who dont find Superman relatable because hes an alien or perfect or just too altruistic while like John Constantine because hes so cool or badass or devil may care because thats how they want to see themselves. Everyone is attracted to what they like for various reasons with one of them usually being how they respond to what they see. Again nothing wrong with that but dont use relatable so much because a schlub temping on a dead-end office assignment has little on the surface with a super-powered sun god or a chain-smoking, working-class wizard with a Cockney accent. Enjoy a story or character or video game because thats what you like but dont say your wish fulfillment is the same as the character being someone you can or cannot relate to because just like Im not the last survivor of a doomed planet Im also not a self-serving rotter who strolls around Hell with Lucifer Morningstar either in a stylish trench coat.
