YOLO, so why go solo?
Brunch|May 04, 2024
Films and shows are overrun with lone wolves. One fighter against all odds. One hero doing it all. Bea team player, maybe?

YOLO, so why go solo?

Witcher. It must be exhausting to be the only competent fulltime monster hunter. But Geralt of Rivia, from The Last Wish and The Witcher series, persists in going it alone, fighting packs of enemies, never relaxing, no time to shampoo that hair, even. If only he had made a few more useful friends, he'd probably have better work-life balance and spend more time with his daughter, Cirilla.

Wolverine. We can see why this sexy mutant stays aloof. In the comic book Wolverine: Origin #1 (2006), Logan accidentally clawed the love of his life Rose to death. But in a world crawling (and flying and swimming) with fellow mutants, surely he's seen the advantages of running with a pack. Who knows, it might make for better humanmutant relations too. And fewer scratches.
