90% of the time they're a cheap, desperate way to put the artifice of "drama" at the start of a story that has no inherent conflict at the start and unintentionally spoils the build of a story by making the audience just "wait" for it to get back. 10% they're clever misdirectionhttps://twitter.com/fletchersque/status/1367051456025681921 …

Sometimes it’s actively harmful. In Carlito’s Way, when he’s trying to get away in the train station at the end, I was watching it that whole time thinking, “oh this is where he gets shot.” There’s a recent Neeson movie that does the same thing.

It's so counterproductive, but storytellers do it out of fear and lack of understanding - they think "if i show X and then show how we got to X then i told a story!" no, you created the illusion of a story by creating self-contained prophecy you had total control of.
