I'd personally like to see more gender non-conforming roles in societies.
In a society with magic or space tech, why does there need to be a coded gender for certain jobs?
This goes for 'character classes' too. I'd love to see more healer archetypes that are cis male, or wizard types that are black or brown without relying on stereotypes.
I'd also like to see more of that in occupations too. Why not have a union of earth magic construction workers who happen to be mostly women in one city?
What about the rest of you? What cool things would you live to see in sci-fi/fantasy?
The protagonist is doing the whole "hero's journey" trope but every major point in the plot where they are supposed to be heroic they fail and their side kicks save the day. Not in an asshole hero who takes credit or bumbling idiot way, but like a legitimate bad ass who just keeps making the wrong choices or not getting the timing right during the heroic moments. Nobody is angry or spiteful about it because the job gets done but it turns out that the prophesied hero who single-handedly saves the day was less effective than the rest of the group.
This is the true plot of Kingdom Hearts after the first game or two.
