Writing Tip: The Central Dramatic Question of Your Story

The central dramatic question is the story engine driving your narrative, a question that should always be at the forefront of your viewers’ or readers’ minds. 

Each act of your story should try to answer this question, but it shouldn’t be easy—once the dramatic question of your premise is answered, the story is essentially over.

The dramatic question has to do with the central conflict involving your protagonist.

It is usually introduced in the first act of your novel or screenplay, either at the inciting incident of your story or shortly thereafter.

Readers want an answer to the dramatic question, and it’s the writer’s job to ensure the solution isn’t simple.

The dramatic story question often takes the entire book to answer, and each plot point or turning point that occurs must be in service to answering that same question while holding the audience’s attention.

How to Find the Dramatic Question of Your Story

Every good story has a major dramatic question to answer. To find out what that is, you must figure out what the single driving force behind your narrative is.

What is the central character’s objective, and will they succeed at achieving it?

The answers to these questions inform the structural spine of your whole narrative, propelling your characters towards their main goals—which are usually external goals, something tangible that can be outwardly obtained by the protagonist and seen by the audience.

Will the main characters end up together? Will the superhero stop the bad guy?

The key to finding the dramatic question to your story is knowing your protagonist’s concrete goal and if they’re going to achieve it.

Examples of Dramatic Questions

Some famous examples of dramatic questions posed in plays, novels, and film:

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare (1595): Will Romeo and Juliet overcome their family’s rivalry to live happily ever after?

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum (1900): Will Dorothy ever leave the magical land of Oz and make it back home to her small town in Kansas?

Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell (1936): Will Scarlett O'Hara win Ashley Wilkes?

The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris (1988): Will Clarice Starling be able to stop serial killer Buffalo Bill?

The focus of a dramatic question can vary depending on the genre you’re writing.

For instance, if you’re writing romance, the question centers around whether or not the love interests will end up together.

If you’re writing fantasy or sci-fi, the question is usually about whether the protagonist will be able to save the world and its people.

Wicked thoughts: The cinematography of "The Wizard and I" is excellent, and I especially want to talk about the ending. Elphaba longs to work beside the Wizard of Oz in the hopes of both improving her own life and using magic to make Oz a better place. This entire song is a sucker-punch in retrospect, after she meets the Wizard of Oz and realizes he's a tyrant with no magical powers. In this context, the ending of "The Wizard and I" hits the hardest. Elphaba sings "for half of Oz's favorite team, the Wizard and I" in an empty field in front of a desert. But once she actually meets the Wizard? Both Elphaba and the viewers realize it was a field of empty promises, and the Wizard's oppressive vision for Oz makes Elphaba feel as desolate as an ocean of sand.

It is honestly starting to bug the number of people I've seen referring to Cristin Milioti's performance in The Penguin as something along the lines of 'just playing a complete psycho' and how episode four changed all that because that isn't the performance at all and I think it is a disrcedit to the work Milioti is putting in on this character.

There is a lot more going on here (everyone in this show is great but Milioti as Sofia Falcone is the only one I consistly see people undertalking, I wonder why that is?) and it starts with how sad she looks so muc of the time.

The scene that really sells it for me is in episode two, when Sofia is talking to Carla and you get to see a glimpse at who she was before Arkham. That conversation was enough for me to predict The Hangman reveal that doesn't actually come until episode four. It's Sofia's turn when Carla flinches at her talking to her daughter. There is such a clear change a real differentiation between the Sofia who thinks she's found someone who will treat her normally and the Sofia who is realising just how much her family has turned against her.

Milioti is not playing 'just a psycho' until the big plot turns of episode four when suddenly she has depth she didn't have before. Milioti is playing someone desperate, so desperate, to be seen the way she was before Arkham. Episode four is when she admits that isn't going to happen and strikes out to make the most of who she has been forced to become.

And it annoys me a little bit because it suggest to me that a lot fo viewers have completely failed to recognise that the show is about cycles of abuse and the way that changes someone. Oz has been abused all his life, and now he's turning that around on Victor who is unfortunatly buying into it a little too much.

Sofia was put under some of the worst abuse anyone in this show has been and she knows why, and it should be obvious to any viewer thats paying attention. Sofia's abuse was laid on her because she is a woman and a lot of older and more powerful men didn't like how smart she was.

Taiyang Xiao Long: The Latest in a Long Line of Fuckups

So there’s been quite a bit of discussion by this point from a number of people, myself included, about the idea that Taiyang Xiao Long isn’t actually the ‘Good Dad’ that much of the RWBY fandom has long seen him as. That he is in fact just as much of a dysfunctional fuck-up parent as Qrow, Summer, and yes, even Raven. There are a few different factors to this that others have gone into more detail on, but for me it really comes down to one core point in particular:

If you have checked out of parenting to the point where the two girls under your care can both state overtly and matter-of-factly that the older of the two raised the younger, then it frankly doesn’t matter WHAT your reasons were for checking out or how hard you may have been grieving. You have unequivocally, massively, FUCKED UP as a parent. The fact that the show has made it clear that Ruby considers Yang, her SISTER, to be her primary parent-figure does not speak well to ANY of Team STRQ’s parenting, Tai included.

However, with that said, I thought it would be worth talking about what all this discussion could actually mean in practice, ie; how might all this end up being actually explored in the story of RWBY itself?

After all, it’s not like Tai’s failings as a father have really been directly focused on or confronted or even overtly spelled out in the show thus far. The most direct we’ve gotten was during Yang’s talk with Weiss in the episode Alone Together, and even that wasn’t so much directed at Tai himself so much as describing how Yang was forced to take up so much slack in the family after Summer’s apparent death. Right now, discussion of Tai’s failings as a father is still very much ‘reading between the lines’.

And I believe that is all deliberate on the part of the writers. Thus far, the references to Tai’s failings as a parent haven’t meant to be overt and obvious to the audience. But rather they are meant to be hints and foreshadowing hiding in the margins and not immediately obvious to the viewer.

At least until it’s time to MAKE them obvious.

You see, I believe that Taiyang as a character is going to turn out to be all too similar to the likes of Qrow, Ozpin and Ironwood.

Men who are introduced appearing to represent noble and good-natured archetypes, but who wind up being revealed to have DEEP and extensive personal failings and flaws that wind up hurting themselves and all those around them. The warning signs of which turn out to have been floating around the margins, between the lines and just outside the audience’s field of view since practically their first appearances.

Consider for a moment just how characters like Ozpin, Qrow, Ironwood and Tai were/have been overtly presented in their early appearances. In other words, how the story at first wants us to view them:

The Wise Teacher

The Quirky Mentor

The Heroic Soldier

The Good Dad

And now let’s remember just how the first three wound up failing our heroines. And all of the hints we got that FORESHADOWED that failing:

All of the ‘Shady Oz’ behavior that people were noticing as early as Volume 2, and which only compiled and built over the subsequent volumes until being finally dragged into the light at the start of Volume 6.

Qrow’s rampant alcoholism, which he was outright introduced with in Volume 3 and later noted by Glynda to ALWAYS to be drunk. And shown later in Volume 5 when Ruby doesn’t bat an eye at Qrow showing up at their house near-passed out drunk.

And of course, ALL of the red flags that Ironwood was on the fast-track to fascism right from his first appearance when he showed up for the preparations of a festival celebrating peace and unity with a fleet of giant warships.

Now we have Tai, a character who turns out to have all kinds of indicators pointing to him actually being a complete dysfunctional fuck-up as a father once you start looking closely. From Yang’s multiple recountings of how Tai shut down and left HER to care for Ruby, to his shall we say QUESTIONABLE mentoring advice to Yang, to Ruby outright stating that it was YANG who raised her…

Really if you just start taking a closer look at Tai’s actions and behavior across the show, you can start finding plenty of hints and red-flags to his dysfunctional parenting hiding under a thin veneer of ‘expected’ character-archetype behavior, just like what happened with Ozpin, Qrow and Ironwood.

For example, just look at Tai’s ‘mentoring’ of Yang in Volume 4. At first glance, this scene is framed like a typical ‘hero gets tough-love advice and help from their wise and experienced parent’ situation, which is the takeaway most of us probably got on first viewing. Yet the moment you take a closer look and start unpacking what Tai is actually saying in this scene, it becomes clear, particularly in hindsight, that Tai is FULL OF SHIT. To the point of seemingly not even understanding how Yang’s semblance even works.

Or how about his claim that Raven ‘did a number of this family’, which if you actually take a minute to analyze, ESPECIALLY now in hindsight, makes no goddamn sense. How exactly can Raven have ��done a number’ on the family when she’s been GONE from said family for the past 18 years? Particularly now that it seems like if any member is guilty of ‘doing a number’ on the STRQ, it’s actually SUMMER for going off on her super-secret suicide/martyr mission. We can’t even say that Tai can blame Raven for what happened to Summer because as Ruby’s Tree Vision made clear, Tai doesn’t even know Raven was involved. What this statement REALLY feels like is a shitload of projection and Tai blaming Raven for all of HIS fuckups as a parent.

HOWEVER, because none of this is directly framed by the show as being explicitly ‘bad’ and doesn’t present Tai with traditional/obvious ‘bad dad’ traits (see Jacques, and more on him in just a bit…) and generally couches his behavior with a veneer of ‘feeling baseline care and affection’, it’s easy to overlook on a first viewing.

Really, it feels all too much like how Volume 4 also presented Ironwood on the surface as the noble, heroic ‘only sane man’ among the authority in Atlas, all while slipping in NUMEROUS red-flags of him being on the fast track to fascism.

Speaking of Jimmy the Child Shooter, it’s been noted by a few people at this point that in hindsight, it’s pretty clear that Jacques Schnee effectively served as a red-herring villain to distract the audience from the growing red-flags surrounding Ironwood, both in Volume 4 and again in Volume 7.

Well, what if Jacques was also being used to distract the audience from TAI’s own parenting red flags in Volume 4? After all, it’s easy to be more forgiving of Tai’s sketchy parenting choices when the show keeps cutting back to Jacques’ brand of ‘parenting’.

Really, I think in hindsight Volume 4 is giving us three different looks at fatherhood: We’ve got the caring, nurturing father in Ghira, the abusive villainous father in Jacques, and the dysfunctional fuckup in Tai. A real ‘the Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ situation.

And finally, the simple fact that Yang raised Ruby. The biggest indicator of Tai’s, as well as the rest of Team STRQ’s, MASSIVE fuckups as parents which goes all the way back to Volume 1 when Gold framed Yang as a motherly figure to Ruby, outright comparing her to Summer.

It all points to Tai being set up for the same kind of big, subversive narrative rug-pull as Ozpin, Qrow and Ironwood. Men who are introduced as these strong, capable, ‘good-guy’ archetypes, only for it to be later revealed to both the heroines and the audience that these adults that they trusted are actually massive fuck-ups who have been making a mess of everything.

The only difference with Tai is that the story simply hasn’t decided to shine the light of narrative focus ON all of his numerous problems and fuckups and force our heroines to confront them like it already has with Ozpin and Qrow in Volume 6, and Ironwood in Volumes 7 and 8.

At least, not YET.

And wouldn’t you know it, the last RWBY Beyond episode set up what could be the PERFECT opportunity for that with Yang’s line about Tai being on ‘special assignment’.

Sure, people have been saying stuff like ‘Oh he’s gotta be doing something super important like guarding the Relic of Choice’, but this is RWBY we’re talking about. The show that ALREADY made a big point about how the ‘Daddy had a good reason for abandoning you’ trope is utter bullshit.

So frankly, I’d say there is NO WAY IN HELL that Tai has an actual ‘good reason’ for not having come to Vacuo to see his daughters.

And that this is instead the setup for Ruby and Yang to finally have to DEAL with all of their parents’ dysfunctional bullshit.

Don Knotts (The Incredible Mr. Limpet, The Ghost and Mr Chicken, The Reluctant Astronaut)—Just look at him. He’s just a lil scrungly guy. Also he started entertaining as a ventriloquist, and there’s nothing scrunglier than a ventriloquist. In all seriousness, Don Knotts’ career is singularly unique. His speaking voice was iconic, and he used it to his advantage and played it up – see also the included YouTube link to his small role in No Time for Sergeants [link]. He not only played second fiddle comedic character roles, but also played leading comedic character roles. He didn’t need a sidekick for his movies but he could *be* the sidekick if needed. That’s key to Scrungly Little Guy™ behavior, in my opinion. Knotts undoubtedly influenced many comedians and sitcom characters in both his lifelong film and TV career – and I do mean lifelong, as his final role was in 2006, the year he passed away! In the 70s, he became a frequently used actor in live action Disney comedy films for kids like The Apple Dumpling Gang and appeared in many children’s programs. Knotts was said to be one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, which is important for Scrungly Little Guy™ lore.

Margaret Hamilton (The Wizard of Oz)—oh you KNOW she scrungled. and she has one of the top ten most beautiful noses of all time, in my objectively correct opinion. and look how her face lights up when she smiles in the wicked witch screen test!

This is round 3 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you’re confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]

Margaret Hamilton:

Terrifying legions of children as the Wicked Witch of the West, sure, but I would argue that Margaret Hamilton was also Peak Scrungle as Miss Gulch. She also had a long career as a character actress, showing up with her distinctive profile to add a little zip to any film she was in!

was typecast in homely, shrill, and creepy character roles because she wasn't hollywood-attractive but was always so fun to watch

I feel like she's gotta be a shoo-in for scrungliness, but just in case people have lost their minds I'm submitting her. From Wikipedia, here is an intriguing meditation on the difference between scrungly actors and their scrungly roles: "When Hamilton reprised her role as the Wicked Witch in a 1976 episode of Sesame Street, 'the show's producers were flooded with letters from parents saying it was too frightening for children.' She appeared as herself in three episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, between 1975 and 1976, because Fred Rogers wanted his viewers to recognize the Wicked Witch was just a character and not something to be afraid of."

Don Knotts:

TBH, I was first introduced to Don knotts in things like three's company, the og Scooby-Doo cartoons, and later on that Disney chicken little movie. He's probably most remembered from his time on the Andy griffith show. But just look at him! Don't you just wanna put him situations?

When you say scrungly his face is just what immediately pops into my head

Don Knotts plays in most if not all of his filmography someone who is kinda dull-witted, afraid of his own shadow, or kind of cowardly. He is the scrungliest of scrungly people!

Anya was originally conceived of only as a non-recurring antagonist (for Season 3's The Wish). It wasn't planned from the beginning that she'd stick around longer than that, but it just so happened that she got to make a couple of follow-up appearances later that season. She then had her role massively expanded and her character fairly noticeably rewritten for Season 4, at least partly to repurpose her as a replacement on the show for Cordelia Chase, who was leaving for the Angel spin-off.

Cordelia herself is only mentioned again by name on Buffy four times. In Living Conditions (just two episodes after Cordelia last appeared on the show) Willow describes an oddly-acting and possibly 'evil' Buffy's behaviour as "bordering on Cordelia-esque". In Pangs (eight episodes after her last appearance on Buffy) Willow asks a returning Angel in tones of disbelief whether Cordelia is really working for him. In Season 5's Family (twenty-eight episodes after her last appearance) Buffy describes that season's arc villain Glory as being "kinda like Cordelia". And in the same season's Triangle (thirty-three episodes after Cordelia last appeared on Buffy), Anya herself tells Willow that she knows that Cordelia discovering Xander and Willow kissing is the reason Cordelia and Xander broke up.

(This is -- with some notable exceptions -- how the show tended to deal with characters who'd been written out and weren't expected to make any future cameos. Oz only gets mentioned twice after Seth Green appears in Restless, for example, while Jenny is never mentioned again after the First takes on her appearance in Amends. Despite becoming a regular on Angel, Wesley is only mentioned once on Buffy after Season 3, by Faith-as-Buffy in Season 4's Who Are You?. And Faith herself is only mentioned once -- in Season 5's Checkpoint -- over both of the two seasons after her debut that she doesn't appear in. And in Buffy's last two seasons the shows aired on different networks, which presumably meant references between the shows were even more discouraged than before.)

So, all told, it's not a mystery why, even though:

Anya appears in Season 3 and is at least vaguely implied to be hanging around with Cordelia all that year. (Yes, we only actually see them together in The Wish, but practically the first thing Anya says to Willow in Doppelgangland by way of introducing herself is that she knows Cordelia, and that episode aired -- and is presumably set? -- almost three months after Anya first arrived as a new student. Perhaps it was even Cordelia itself who told Anya that Willow was a witch: I'm not sure who else might have done.)

and

After her first appearance, Anya acquires several personality traits that might well remind the casual viewer of Cordelia. (Compare her "strangely literal" nature and difficulty understanding social cues with Cordelia's very literally speaking of her mind in Earshot or quotes like "tact is just not saying true stuff" and "I can take a hint ... what's the hint?"; or compare Anya's often-mentioned love of money with Cordelia's "I like the smell of a little money once in a while"; or compare Anya's suggestion in Season 6 that Buffy should "cash in" on being a Slayer because she's providing "a valuable service to the community" with Cordelia joining Angel Investigations and immediately suggesting that "if we're going to help people, maybe a small charge?"; or compare the fact that they are both inexplicably attracted to Xander Harris.)

... somehow the show never suggests that these are traits Anya might have -- consciously or not -- picked up from her time hanging around with Cordelia Chase, the woman she came to Sunnydale and first became human for.

Instead it either just pretends against all evidence that these have always been aspects of Anya's personality or that these are new traits that she spontaneously acquires in an attempt to become more convincingly human. The idea that Anya spent her first few months as a human socializing with Cordelia Chase and the idea that, as a human, she oten acts quite a bit like Cordelia Chase are just never connected. They can't be: the structure of the show doesn't permit it.

It is kind of weird though, isn't it?

[spiribia]

i get too sidetracked with animal metaphors until they're completely inscrutable to anyone else. the original conceit of this was I need to make Elphaba's design reflect that she's green and gnarly in some way -> maybe they could both have animal masks and Elphie could be a gator or a crocodile -> then Glinda should also be some kind of animal that hatches from an egg considering the Out of Oz breaking out of the egg / prison imagery -> bird seems obvious and then i can give her cage imagery too but that would be too trite an animal choice, no? -> LOL maybe she's that bird that cleans crocodile's teeth since she and Elphaba are friends -> apparently that's just a fable and we don't have confirmation that really happens -> so we have a symbiotic relationship where one of the animals is extant (the Nile crocodile) and the other animal (the trochilus) in its partnership is just an old fable though some people insist it has credence. it has generated a lot of speculation? -> and birds can defy gravity? why isn't Elphaba in her elusive rumor-generating the bird then? -> why not have Glinda be the recognized living, grounded thing that fantasizes about the mythological bygone relation with something that could fly? and it would be fun to integrate 'crocodile tears' into her concept -> why do they each only have to be one? they change each other 'for good', why don't they swap mask animals at some point? -> Elphaba's mask had its jaws open to evoke that a bird could go in and start cleaning. Glinda's would by contrast obviously have its jaws shut because she doesn't act -> but they shouldn't stay closed forever. when the two meet each other again at the end, the masks should therefore crumble off like they are only facades -> if they meet without masks, Elphaba should be recognizable as a bird even without a bird mask so the viewer understands they have swapped roles -> therefore her cloak should convey 'trochilus' in some way, maybe based off of existing birds that people speculate the trochilus could be -> There's actually a genus of existing hummingbird named Trochilus that's green and black birds, which would be perfect -> the face shape could actually make a good mask for her even though i said she'd be maskless since it's layered black on top and green on bottom -> i can turn the top part of the mask into her signature pointed 'hat' with the beak as part of the brim -> the

[Live stream] ACT SWITCH ④

Appearing characters: Lennox, Shino, Oz, Cain, Arthur

Shino: You’re way too stiff. Loosen up or you’ll injure yourself.

Oz: It already hurts enough as is.

Lennox: Alright. Is the camera on?

(Cain: Yo! I can see you guys!)

Lennox: Hmm, is the screen tilted? I can’t get this right. Where’s the play button…

(Arthur: It looks fine!)

> You’re on~!

Lennox: Ah, my apologies. This wasn’t very professional, was it? Will this kiss make up for it? 

> Smile, Lennox~!

Lennox: Ah, my apologies. This wasn’t very professional, was it? Will this smile make up for it? 

(Cain: Lookin’ good as always, Lennox!)

Lennox: Are you and Arthur watching the stream from a different studio?

(Arthur: Hey, Lennox!)

Lennox: Hello—.

Shino: Ah, whoops. Get over here, Oz. We’re rolling.

Oz: Mm.

Lennox: This is our weekly livestream on Hardi Vision’s channel. Today’s members are me, Lennox…

Shino: Shino.

Oz: And Oz.

Shino: If you’re a first-time viewer, we’ll make sure you never forget our names.

(Arthur: You look so handsome today, Sir Oz!)

(Cain: Is it getting hot in here, or is that just Shino!?) 

Shino: First things first, our challenge of the week. This stream is part of the promotion for our upcoming series, “ACT SWITCH”.

Lennox: We will have 30 minutes to memorize a dance and see if we can pull it off. If we fail, we’ll have to do a punishment. 

Oz: Hm…? A… punishment?

(Cain: Let’s go!)

(Arthur: You’ve got this!)

Shino: Hey, don’t flip through the script onstream.

Oz: Nobody mentioned a punishment before.

Shino: I added it for the extra hype. Genius, right? Send a heart if you agree.

Oz: All of you are too laid back.

Lennox: Since our time is limited, let me explain the rules.

Lennox: Shino and I will be teaching Oz the dance choreography.

Shino: The song we chose is from Hardi Vision’s last “All-Stars” concert. We’ll perform it at the end of the stream, so make sure to watch until then. Sounds easy enough, right?

(Cain: Oh, that one! I remember it going viral.)

(Cain: Especially the chorus!)

Oz: I have no dance experience. That kind of physical work is better suited for performers and stunt actors.

(Arthur: You have great command over your movements, though!)

(Arthur: I’m sure you’ll do amazing!)

Shino: Since you’ve signed up with this agency, you have to be prepared to step outside your comfort zone.

Lennox: I can’t go into much detail without diving into spoilers, but the three of us will be taking on some unique roles for this drama.

Shino: Exactly. And Oz is gonna have to learn how to perform action and dance scenes either way.

(Arthur: Do your best, Sir Oz!)

(Cain: Give us your best whams! and pows!)

Oz: I suppose that is true.

Lennox: Look. Cain and Arthur believe in you. Let’s give it a try.

Lennox: First gently raise your right arm and twist your hips like this.

Oz: Lift both arms…

Shino: Nice. That looks great. Next, you take your right arm and lower it in two beats. Then on the third, look at the camera and hit us with a bang.

Oz: Bang.

Lennox: Your finger goes like this. The idea is to strike at the heart of our viewers.

(Cain: Ooh, he did it!)

(Arthur: So cool!)

Shino & Lennox: One, two, bang.

Oz: One, two, bang.

Shino: You did it. Now that’s how you make a bang.

(Cain: Sheeeeeesh!!)

(Cain: Arthur is losing it right now!)

Lennox: It looks just like the advertisements. Great job. They don’t call you the Demon King for nothing.

(Arthur: That was so cool, I totally forgot to take a screenshot!)

Oz: Heh. Naturally. This is nothing for me.

(Arthur: I’ll definitely have to go back through the archives...)

Shino: Alright, let’s move on. Swing from left to right using your shoulders and kick into the air with your right leg. 

Oz: Hm… Ngh… Huh?

Shino: The hell was that?

(Cain: His shoulders were kinda stiff.)

Shino: It’s giving robot. Or like you’re some kind of 2D character.

(Cain: Lennox, you should get behind him.)

Lennox: That’s a good idea. Can I try something, Oz? I can guide you to help get the timing right.

Oz: W-Wait…

> Do your best, Oz~!

Oz: I already am.

> Live, Oz~!

Oz: I’m not going to die.

Oz: Hngh, hah, bang!

Shino: No fair! You can’t bang your way out of everything just ‘cause you’re handsome.

Lennox: You’re getting there, Oz. We just have to work on that kick a little more.

Oz: Understood. I’ll keep at it.

Shino: Oh, right. What do you have to say about my fit? Cool, right? I went shopping with Mithra yesterday.

Shino: Of course, I made it back in time for Heath’s stream. He was so wrapped up in his work, he didn’t even notice his coffee had spilled.

Shino: Then he had to spend the rest of the time removing the stain. Cute, right?

> Did you help him, Shino?

Shino: Of course I did.

> You’re cute too, Shino.

Shino: You mean cool, right? If anything, you guys are the cute ones.

Shino: Here—a kiss from me. Make sure to take screenshots.

(Cain: Saved!)

Oz: Leave this for your own streams.

Lennox: Try kicking like this, Oz. Hiyah!

Cain: (I’m gonna put a dog filter over it!)

Oz: Hi-yah.

(Arthur: So cute!)

Shino: Talk about a Spartan instructor. Oh, our time’s almost up. We have to move onto the next stream.

Lennox: We’ll upload the full practice session onto our channel in the near future. Make sure to check out the video to find out what happens next. Oz, let’s give it another go.

Oz: Yes. I do not intend to incur any sort of punishment.

Shino: That’s the spirit.

Lennox: Coming up is Arthur and Cain’s freestyle dance battle. We hope you continue having fun.

(Cain: Oops, it’s our turn!)

(Arthur: I’m looking forward to the upload!)

Everyone: Adios, Hardi.

My favorite songs in Act 2 are "No Good Deed" and "As Long As Your Mine" so I am looking forward to how they'll look in the film. I do have some concerns if Part 2 will able to stand on its own since all of the expositions are in Part 1 and some retconning to the Wizard of Oz are involved. Viewers who haven't seen the stage musical might have some reactions 😬

in amends willow is trying to patch things up with oz after cheating on him with x*nder (one of the worst storylines in all of tv 🤮) and she talks to buffy about it (bc buffy is a way better friend to willow than willow is to her) so buffy says "i guess now you need to show oz that he comes first" which us, the average viewers understood as "let him know that you won't betray his trust again" but willow heard something entirely different because then later in the episode they have a scene where willow TRIES TO SEDUCE OZ!!!! omgggg how did i not notice this the first time. like willow my girl you ain't had to take that advice so literally. and her seduction routine was NOT subtle lmao!! wearing a gorgeous low cut red/orange(?) velvet dress with candles everywhere and barry white playing, she went all out, the whole shebang its one of the funniest things that willow has ever done

Some quick, early morning thoughts about Jess' newest video.

Uhhh, I sure did watch it. For those who somehow aren't aware, yesterday a video was uploaded to Aphmau’s channel that celebrated the ten year anniversary of MCD by throwing SMP Aphmau through a series of bastardized versions of MCD Season 1 plot lines mostly for the sake of fanservice for old fans.

And I won't deny I actually quite enjoyed some of this fanservice. The whole bit with Garroth and Aphmau recreating the Garmau episode 81 tree scene did put a smile on my face, I really liked Aphmau with a flamethrower it felt very in character for even MCD Aph, I loved hearing the va's all return, and the fact that Jess used the exact same establishing shot for the Irene Dimension, ostrich on the roof and all. And I did giggle at the Wizard of Oz reference at the end when SMP Aph is talking about all her friends in her dream and kinda narrows her eyes and voice at Zane to say "And you were there." That was funny. Good job, Jess. Also Aphmau causing Laurance more brain damage by dragging him down a set of stairs and hearing the thunk of his head on every step got me giggling like crazy.

But thats kinda where my enjoyment of the video ends. Because then I get into a series of issues I had that range from minor nitpicks to my personal vendetta against the worst episode of MCD flaring up again. And the rest of this post is going to be getting into those.

For one, this is a modern-day Aphmau video, so the pacing is so fast that a breakneck pace doesn't adequately describe it. This video made me so overstimulated to watch all the way through that I spent the next three hours afterward trying to calm myself down like I was a scared horse. I think if I watch another one of these videos, I'll have a heart attack. And this pacing is why I described the plot lines as bastardized, because it takes the surface of MCD plots but then rushes the viewer through them as fast as possible so we can get to the next one.

Next is a very minor issue, and I'll fully admit this is me being pedantic, but when Aphmau finds Laurance in the Nether, he has his post episode 53 design, instead of his episode 26-40 design that he went into the Nether with, probably because Jess wants us to forget his original fuck ass design (but I never will). Again, this is a very minor nitpick that does not matter.

But what does matter is that Laurance got a new VA, and I'm... mixed on my feelings. I don't think he got enough lines for me to make a solid judgment, and when he was speaking, I got this sort of. What's the word, uncanny valley vibe? Like his new VA was sometimes trying to emulate Sebastians' old performance, but also wasn't at other times, and I wish that he'd just stuck to one or the other. I'm sure DJ Hansen is a fine voice actor, but I wish Jess had just let him cook with a new Laurance voice instead of trying to make it sound too much like the Laurance we knew.

And speaking of voice acting-- I could not stop laughing at Jason Bravura's performance as MCD Aaron the entire time. I know he was doing what he did with his voice to differentiate between MCD and SMP Aaron, but it just sounded so bad! It really sounded like he was forcing his voice to be deeper and more aggressive, which is especially not fitting for Season 1 Aaron, who did have a deep and mysterious voice, but it wasn't so... Batman esque. It just sounded like Jason was speaking in a lower tone, not that he was actively growling his way into every line to make it sound more bad ass or whatever.

And the final major thing I want to talk about is just a personal experience watching this video that I thought might be amusing. When Aph first showed up at Malachi's castle I was actually really excited because I could tell they updated the exterior of the location to make it bigger and more dynamic, and Malachi's voice actor was easily giving my favorite performance in the entire video. And, quite foolishly, I had this false hope for what was to come. I knew what episode we were getting into. But given the context the video established of Garroth and Laurance literally barely knowing Aphmau in this series of events, especially Laurance being a Shadow Knight without her presence, I thought that they'd either not arrive at the castle at all, or if they did, there'd be a modified version of the scene because Garroth and Laurance getting violently jealous of a guy they don't know kissing a girl they barely know would somehow be even worse than Episode 65.

Oh how wrong I was. I genuinely wish I had a recording of the cry of anguish I let out when the illusion of Dante and Aphmau kissing showed up, I was utterly in shambles, and I don't think I picked myself back up through the rest of the video. How foolish was I to get my hopes up that Jess might be re-examining her writing choices in this video...

At least Lucinda was hot.

Oh, and one final thing... this video sucked and gets a 0/10 for me because despite being an abridged recap of the "most important plot lines from season 1 of MCD" it somehow failed to have BOTH of my favorite characters (Jeffory and Cadenza).
