Indeed, the idea that the "plot points" are the important thing is frequently all messed up and backwards Often the plot is just a damn skeleton, an excuse to talk about the stuff the author wants to talk about, it doesn't actually matter

Certain zealots -- people with a CinemaSins obsession with "plot holes" -- think of this as a critical flaw in a story Even if the plot doesn't have "holes" they get up your ass about how the plot needs to have a "structure", Hero's Journey shit Don't take them too seriously

this is literally why most adaptions don't work, if you cut out 70% of the material what you end up with is a fundamentally different story, and you have to be very careful with the balance of cutting extraneous plot vs only cutting "asides" and leaving out the book's heart
