Narrative storytelling requires walking a delicate line: You have to keep the action going, but you also need conflict. In other words, you need someone or something trying to stop the action. When it turns out that action is hilariously dangerous and foolish, you run into an eternal scriptwriter’s dilemma: creating a fuddy-duddy antagonist who is unfortunately completely right.
On the other hand, a flighty daydreamer can add some fun, paranoid flavor, but they must remain truly delusional. If they start getting too much right and the rest of the gang plunges into denial, you have to start wondering who the real space case is.
