@KrpaOkram23311@KaieldoesnotArt Using your logic any protagonist in an ensemble story stops being the protagonist whenever the camera focuses on someone else. Thats not media analysis thats counting minutes on a stopwatch and pretending youve discovered narrative theory
@KrpaOkram23311@KaieldoesnotArt If your entire argument is “the Traveler gets less screen time therefore he's just wearing the MC sticker" then you haven't disproven the Travelers role youve just demonstrated that you don't understand the difference between screen time,characterization and narrative function
@KrpaOkram23311@KaieldoesnotArt The amount of screen time individual characters receive doesn't determine who the protagonist is. Genshin is an ensemble driven story so naturally different arcs spend significant time developing the characters and conflicts of each nation
@KrpaOkram23311@KaieldoesnotArt "Not just wearing the MC sticker” is already a flawed premise the Traveler is objectively the protagonist because the story is literally structured around their journey
@KrpaOkram23311@KaieldoesnotArt The people who liked the video are the one who understands the situation of the Traveler even the comments are praising the hardworks of Travelers through Nations who had a lot of improvement since the start of the Story in Monstadt
@KrpaOkram23311@KaieldoesnotArt She said The Traveler feels like a True protagonist but she never said They are not The Protagonist she also pointed out That Characters need to shine for the players to pull for them in 22:10
