Are there any circumstances under which a highly inactive protagonist would be more promising dramatically than a more active protagonist? E.g. a main character that is weakly unenthusiastic about participating in the plot*, or opts to do nothing in situations where almost every protagonist in the genre would have taken some sort of move (like a superhero story about someone that develops superpowers but doesn’t want to be a superhero/villain or otherwise interact with superhero activity).
*Weakly unenthusiastic: not all that promising. In contrast, I think someone who’s being coerced into doing something but actively rebelling/sabotaging is helluva more promising.

Feel free to discuss anything related to love interests. For example, which love interests have you found most interesting? What do you think distinguishes interesting love interests from forgettable ones? If you’re familiar with a few superhero stories, how do you think their romantic love interests stack up against love interests in other types of stories?
