About This Quiz
Appropriately enough, Hollywood has an expression for a "pitch" for a film that involves referencing two existing properties. This is called a "high concept" pitch. An example would be '"The Fast And The Furious" meets "Star Trek". This is intended to make a clear image in the mind of the listener without having to go into too much detail. When analyzing stories, characters can often be described this way. Is Han Solo a combination of Flash Gordon and The Man With No Name from "The Good The Bad And The Ugly"? Is Spawn a combination of Venom and The Punisher? Is Deadpool just Spider-Man with guns? These comparisons are useful in understanding or even in writing a character because, by using familiar points of reference, some things can go unsaid.
No person can be described as being just like one other, but one can use common points of reference as a sort of shorthand for describing what someone is like. People are attracted to the fictions in which they see themselves; this is why we believe we can accurately describe you in terms of a combination of characters from the "Star Wars" properties and the Marvel Universe. Answer some simple questions for us, and we'll describe the protagonist of your story!
