Ten ways to know if you are a minor character in a movie/tv show...
-Your conversations consist largely of random expository information (How've you been, Bob, since your wife died in mysterious circumstances last winter?)
-You have only one name
-You are the third fastest pilot/driver/draw/etc. (the second fastest is usually the villain)
-You face off against the hero after his initial ignominious defeat and before the climactic battle
-Your backstory can be explained in a single sentence
-You say things like "There are four of us and one of you..."
-Your bullets are proven ineffective against the monster and you just keep shooting
-You are the only girl, boy, foreigner, rocket scientist, person with a cool accent, person in a wheelchair, or lonely martian in the group
-You are defined by a single endearing quirk, and you find and fall in love with a person possessing that same quirk with only a significant look, a word or two, and thirty seconds of 'bowmp-chicka-wow-wow' music
-Your only line is 'Grrr!'/'Aaaaaah!'
So there you go.
Merry Christmas all!
