#raise the stakes

[headfulloffantasies]

Fall Guy is a really good lesson in writing stakes. With a lot of action movies it’s hard for the audience to feel like the main characters are in any real danger. Bond can’t die, they’re making another movie. Bourne is the best spy there is, he’ll be fine. But with Fall Guy the opening scene establishes Colt as a vulnerable human who can and does get hurt. And they reinforce that through his speeches and in his body language. He’s exhausted. He’s sore. He hurts. And we as an audience already saw him get horrifically injured in the first scene- so of course it could happen again. I genuinely worried for Colt throughout most of the fight scenes. I just think it’s a great reminder to writers that your MCs plot armor shouldn’t be so thick that the stakes become boring.

Hear me out! Just hear me out first! I took some time to myself and thoroughly thought about what could make me feel better about how Doug and Tina’s relationship ended in Minx S2, and I believe the most logical next step is for Tina to kiss another man in front of Doug.

I love perfect court AU stuff if for no other reason than Kevin and Jean are like 6’2” and Neil is 5’3” but he is 100% always more willing to start and finish a fight than them
