Date: 2015-05-25 07:53 am (UTC)I'd say conflict isn't so much the matter as drama. Characters need things they can't or won't do (unless they're specifically calculating and ruthless, like Dr. Doom, or Mr. Fantastic, or Darkseid) with their talents and resources so that the question remains "how will this person deal with this challenge?" rather than "how would these attributes be most efficiently used?", the latter of which is best suited for role-playing games or long conversations on bus rides.
There are many reasonable problems to have with the depiction of a super-character, that they aren't behaving like a Platonic ideal is not one of them. Seriously!
In closing, if Scott wants to wear hotpants and nothing else while reclining on sofas, good for him. I don't just understand, I encourage this freedom. I respect him for it.
