Sidebar DIE MECHAGODZILLA YOU HORRIBLE THING!
Ok where were we. Oh yeah plotters vs pantsers. I’m 100% pantsers, unfortunately the stories I’ve thought of all require significant plotting 😫

Btw monsterverse is a bad extended universe and you should really not waste your life on it unless you have no better ideas for what to do with it like me. If you must watch, be on the smart team, Team Godzilla. Team Kong is stupid. The monkey sucks.

I mean Godzilla has nuclear breath. And King needs a special axe to even be competitive... an axe made out of an old dead-godzilla spinal plate. Wtf. Loser money.

Well movie kinda done. They ganged up on Mechagodzilla and killed him. Now I feel that’s unfair and I’m kinda pro Mechagodzilla

This was unsatisfactory. They didn’t give Mechagodzilla much of a shot of a character arc. Most monster movies fail that way. They don’t give the bad monsters much of an arc. See also Indominus Rex in Jurassic World. T. Rex and raptors get arcs as heroes. I. Rex doesn’t.

Though I’ll admit the final fight where, it’s actually killed by the aquatic Mosasaurus rather than T-Rex+raptors, introduced as a Chekhov gun in the first act, is quite satisfying. Mosasaurus is neither good nor bad. It’s a non-sentient force of nature like a volcano.

I’ve been weaving in Godzilla comments here partly for fun but they’re also great for demonstrating how storytelling is nonverbal. Most of the important beats are screams and fights.

Whenever I tweet about story stuff there’s always one reply along the lines of “have you heard of Joseph Campbell?” 🤣

I do have an urge to say something like that in response but feels too patronizing for use on strangers

yeeeah fair
i wouldn't mind workshopping a response archetype for that kind of "hey have you heard of obvious thing?" interaction
