Writing Tips: What is the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits Archetype?

Another team archetype video. I have to ask do you have any more planned

I love the joke of who are you going to call in the beginning.

Always enjoy these videos! Very interesting!

Finally, a new one of these!

This video was very insightful, thank you.

Here’s something off topic I really want to know. How much Star Trek have you seen? I’m asking because I would love to see a rewrite of the Star Trek Abramsverse movies. The films were meant to appeal to a newer generation of Trek fans, but I believe the writers disregarded what made Star Trek memorable and had the films be similar to any average blockbuster. The plots were generic, the villains weren’t interesting, and the characters acted too different from their classic counterparts. I believe, with your work, the Abramsverse Trek films can be “fresh, but familiar,” capable of sitting well with casual and hard core fans. What do you think?

Do justice League

I always love the stories about misfits and outcasts. Hell, I even have my own cast of misfits and rejects into most of my stories. Hell, there is a sci-fi series I want to work on which does have an entire detour story about these misfits going on adventures after thrusting themselves into space by accident. And they have to survive using their stupidity but also smarts and hoping that luck is on their side.

Great vid! You deserve more attention

Quick question. Will your Suicide Squad rewrite be canon to The Suicide Squad that came out recently, or is James Gunn’s Suicide Squad not canon to your DCEU rewrites?

Team Fortress 2 falls in this category.

This is every D&D game ever

What happened to your power trio video?

Awesome video! There’s lots of media out there that cover the archetypical trope of the ragtag bunch of misfits! Some worlds are full of ragtag misfits willing to join the fight!

Another favorite trope. My story follows a duo but eventually becomes a ragtag bunch fo misfits

Great video!!

Im making a series all about a bunch of groups of ragtag misfits who were born with or gain unique abilities and cross paths and they end up teaming together. They're all by themself and they're all unique and different and they were all brought together by fate. I'll he posting stuff about then on my channel someday. They were all originally alone and come from insanely different backgrounds like futuristic cities medieval kingdoms grass plains and even space. I look forward to introducing people to them all.

I made a rag tag bunch of.misfits want to hear them

hey your power trio video is private i can’t view it

The power trio video is private

The Straw hat Pirates fit perfectly here

A future story I’ll be writing some time later this year does something like this. It overlaps with the five-man band that includes:

- An Army Ranger as the leader
- An FBI agent chick as the lancer
- A teen boy computer hacker as the heart
- A Nordic barbarian as the big guy
- A spellsword elf lady as the smartie
- A teenage girl who uses stealth to gain wealth who later joins in as the sixth ranger

This team mixes 21st century firearms and technology with swords, axes, and magic. While the computer hacker backs out of the fight, the Army Ranger and the FBI chick are left to fight the Barbarian and the Spellsword. However they eventually realize they’re after the same goal which they’re after an evil necromancer who can raise an army of undead. Basically imagine Call of Duty Modern Warfare fused with Baldur’s Gate as a story.

Oceans Eleven

I put this element in my adventure-fantasy story. It consists eight main characters who are wandering on earth and looking for seven mythical objects. The team consists:

1. A naïve shepherd boy from a rural area.

2. A girl with hijab who is interested with books.

3. An aggressive motorcycle racer.

4. A hard-drinking night club lady.

5. A whiny geek who serves as the shepherd's best friend and rival.

6. A little kitten.

7. A beautiful and kind-hearted cook.

8. A big and strong anthropomorphic ox.

The anime One Piece is another great example.
