    1. In fiction, stakes have to be personal to motivate action. "Raise the stakes" means make it more personal. The fate of the world? Feh.

        2. The fate of the world is impersonal. It doesn't compel most people because it's easy to be blinded by your local status quo.

        3. As a real world example of "fate of the world" stakes: Climate Change. You might acknowledge it, but you still drive a gas car, right?

        After watching Wonder Woman my first thought was: how are they going to raise the stakes for the next movie? They already seemed so high

        I'd say they weren't that high at all except for Wondy's personal journey because to us that war is long over & every other character dead

        This why the Marvel movie Civil War worked so well, I think. Stakes at every level, but at the forefront was personal relationships.

        “Liking” this thread so I’ll remember it. Great writing advice! Also seems useful for trying to convince people to act.
