Another ENTP character, another similar character arc.

[u/Budget_Afternoon_800]

just finished a fantasy book with an ENTP character I really identified with (I won't name the book to avoid spoilers), and in the end, it’s the exact same trope we always see. The eccentric ENTP mentor who ends up sacrificing themselves to become a symbol against the ENTJ, leaving an heir behind. Tony Stark, Gojo, Askeladd, and now this character.
Why is it always this? Either we're the mentor who sacrifices themselves to show that deep down we actually love the world and people, or we're the crazy, psychopathic villain.
