Pronouncation

[edit]

Danny Tanner was the protagonist on "Full House" as was Alan Harper on "Two and a Half Men". Unless you can explain how they fit the definition of deuteragonist then I think you need to take these two off the list.

I also don't think this deuteragonist term is really relevant, especially on Wikipedia, it's hard to be neutral about it. I have noticed you have been doing this to a lot of the film articles on here recently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.236.186 (talk) 15:20, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How do you pronounce this word?--Jaffaceksi (talk) 09:10, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

du tjʊər æ goʊ nɪst (doo-tur-AEH-go-nist). Sailorknightwing (talk) 02:19, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Protagonist's sidekick, ha, ha, ha

[edit]

this article is a good example of the complete mess being made of this topic on wikipeda. it says, "Literarily, the deuteragonist often assumes the role of "sidekick" to the protagonist." thereby indicating a complete misunderstanding of the meaning of three different words in one sentence. we know this because deuteragonist is a role while sidekick is a character (he has no role in the story), so logic would suggest that the sidekick might conceivably assume the role of deuteragonist but not vice versa, and secondly, the sidekick is not normally an ally of the protagonist but of the antagonist.
