I learned the importance of having an interesting relationship between the protag and antag. Make them similar in some ways, and different in others. Give them philosophies, maybe some interesting backstory together or parallel.
I think I’ve done that with my 2 protags and 2 antags. Both protag Ellie and antag Layo want to hide from the world that they want to save. I’ve added in that about Ellie. Only in her maturing journey does she realize she needs to be in the world, not hiding from it.

Week 2 Day 5: Protag/Antag Relationship Scene – The Dark Knight
The scene contains intense conflict, an attempt to extract information,
about several victums and at the same time Joker tries to show Batman
that they aren’t that different, we are both freaks. And no matter how
much violence Batman inflicts, Joker still has the upper hand and he
knows it, that puts him in command in the relationship. The character
of Joker is displayed, he has a spirit that seems tobe unbreakable
regardless of how painful. The writer did alot of planning during his
decision making to make the scene work as well as it does.
What I learned:
When planning a scene of this type there are many decisions that have
tobe carefully thought out, both Protag and Antag, must have something
in common to make a relationship, and if it’s abnormal even better.
THE PITCH:
The PROTAGS and ANTAGS, Two common ANDROIDS TRIBES locked in battle for
scarce necessities that ensure there survival, prosperity, and future.
TITLE: “THE ANDROIDS”
GENRE: Science Fiction
FAD IN:
EXT. A DARK AND COLD JUNGLE – NIGHT
A Yellow Moon brings subdued light to the cold jungle, with very little growth
or vegetation, and several fox holes scattered about some with nonfunctional
androids in them lie in the sand.
In the distance there is a battle taking place, bombs, lazer fire, and
the illumination of flames glow in the night sky.
Fierce fighting is being waged as the Protags and the Antags battle for minerals
and metals needed to replenish their ranks and supplies at an abandoned old mine.
EXT. ANTAG ANDROID SIDE – NIGHT
Android TECHS make repaires to wounded Antags and they put back into battle,
but models severely damaged are scraped for recycle.
The Antags, fearlessly rush into the mine retriving metals, minerals, oil and make
their way back over and over.
EXT. PROTAG ANDROID SIDE – NIGHT
Android TECH are also making repairs to the wounded Protags, then putting them back
in the fight. They also rush the mine retriving supplies.
INT. THE MINE – NIGHT
Hand to hand fighting breakes out between the Protags and the Antags in mine
mommentarily, then their primary mission overcomes them. They stop fighting,
grab up all the supplies they can and run out of the mine.
The fighting and gathering supplies goes on throughout the night…
EXT. THE MINE – DAY
The mine front abandoned, as if last night’s fighting never happened at all,
no damaged Androids on either side, the Protags, the Antags gone.
Time passes along with many updates and the Antags and Protages evolve realizing
they have many things in common, communication begins between them, deplomacy is born.
Time passes now the Antags and the Protags are becomming Industrialist, building
cumunities, places of higher learning, and they are beginning to dream, yes machines
capable of dreaming.
Time passes and the Protags and the Antags continue to update…
THE END
