"A sidekick is a slang expression for a close companion or colleague who is, or generally regarded as, subordinate to the one he or she accompanies"
Sidekicks often act as a counterpoint to the hero and the drama , sometimes more rational than our hero, they can offer an alternate point of view, or possess knowledge & skills, the hero does not have. Many sidekicks function as comic relief usually superfluous to the main action, while others more importantly play a substantial role...
Have you got a memorable favourite , or not so favourite Sidekick to share ?
Yuri Tolubeyev plays Sancho Panza sidekick to Don Quixote . The famous work first appeared in 1605 there have been many film adaptations. Don Kikhot (1957) is a Soviet Union film directed by Grigori Kozintsev . Recruited by Don Quixote as his squire the sidekick Sancho Panza is a main character. A simple farmer unable to read, but he knows and can recite numerous proverbs. He employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical obsessive orations on antiquated knighthood, and he rides a donkey. Without his faithful sidekick who knows what would have become of Don Quixote...
Dr Watson is Sherlock Holmes' friend confidant and assistant his sidekick. A Victorian-era gentleman Watson unlike eccentric Holmes is grounded and is very astute, although he can never match Holmes superior deductive skills.
