Which is worse, being a plot device with little agency but having a fair amount of impact, or being a prop character with more agency but pretty much no impact on the story?

Wendy was involved with the supernatural adventure of the week a grand total of once during the entire first season. Even Stan got more than that, and there was an actual reason for him not to be involved instead of just "she doesn't really give a shit lol"

I'm just convinced that people don't know how to write chill characters like Wendy and Jackie, and that's why they're hardly ever involved.
Why do people use that archetype then?

In Alex's case, it's possible he just doesn't know how to write tomboys

Looking at Roadaide attraction, I think he just doesn't know to write females in general. I mean seriously, the Pne female Character people actually liked for having depth he got right by accident as he had planned to have her be a hate sponge.

And I think we've already discussed the problems with the main female character at length.
Carson Evans
Because you cannot give female characters flaws or make them suffer from their own shortcomings without getting called sexist. So all that's left is make them "chill" and keep them in the background.
Grayson Johnson
Either that or make them quirky and obnoxious

That doesn't make sense in the case of Star vs. I think for Jackie it's just a case of viewing her through the lens of Marco.
