Talk:sidekick

Antonym
wondering if one exists, if Speedy and Robin are sidekicks, what is the complementary role we describe Batman and Green Arrow as being? Wards? Mentors? 64.228.91.102 09:07, 13 September 2015 (UTC)


 * There isn't really an antonym because sidekicks are defined in terms of the main character (they are at his or her side). Nobody starts with a side character and creates a main character later. Your suggestions are good though: "mentor" makes sense in most cases. Equinox ◑ 09:11, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

something about food
Pizza Express restaurants in the UK are currently offering "warm, breaded whole chicken breast with rocket, shaved Gran Milano cheese and roasted tomatoes, served with a little pesto sidekick". Not so much a side dish as a relish, I suppose. Have they chosen this term at random or does it have a general culinary sense? Equinox ◑ 00:32, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
