Seeming to be larger than live and unlike human beings really are; almost bordering on caricature or archetype (not like Chekhov characters, for example, or Tolstoy characters), yet at the same time not simply flat or standing form one main trait (therefore different from the James Bonds and Darth Vaders and Indiana Jones of the entertainment world).
