I am unapathetic about the use of the term “apathetic”.

I suggest that in a logline when a character is tagged with a character flaw, it should be a flaw that will handicap his ability to succeed, that should plague him until at least the 3rd Act.

So taking this logline at face value, the kid is going to rescue a baby — but remain apathetic, “whatever man”. There’s an approaching blizzard — but he? so what? He remains apathetic about it.? He must fend off numerous attacks from some kind of monstrous “parent” — but, hey, he’s not just cool and calm about the attacks, he doesn’t give a damn, he remains apathetic.

That just doesn’t isn’t credible and I’m guessing that isn’t your intention.? But I can’t read your mind; I can only read the words in the logline.

I suggest tagging him with a character flaw that will handicap him up until at least the 3rd Act.? A flaw that he must come to realize and overcome in order to prevail.? Not a transient flaw that will evaporate as soon as the plot kicks into 2nd gear.

Take Rick in “Casablanca”.? In Act 1 he declares the doesn’t stick his neck out for anyone. Does he drop that attitude as soon as Elsa appears in his gin joint toward the end of Act 1?? Begin to stick his neck out for others or for a great cause?

No.?

He digs in, refuses to help her and her husband get the letters of transit they need to flee the Nazis.? He doesn’t stick his neck out until the 3rd Act.

fwiw
