The plot structures of movies need to start taking more cues from classic opera. Open with a fucker in a hat who directly addresses the audience and explains what's going on in a way that raises far more questions than it answers, then immediately drop the viewer into the middle of a shouting argument between three of the weirdest people you can possibly imagine.
a list of “ship tropes” that aren’t really tropes yet per se, but I need them to be
Kind, gentle man+ eldritch monster/horrifying werewolf/scaly abomination/hairy Creature wife
Battle couple whose respective fighting styles are “stealth, silence, precision and cunning” and “walking tank with a gun as big as they are” respectively
Mad scientist+mad scientist in a different branch of science
Regular scientist+actual wizard
Human+ alien and/or robot who is discovering what Emotions are
Lithe, androgynous elf guy+ bearded, hunky dwarf girl
Succubus/incubus and angel, except all the Love and Affection stuff is new to the succubus/incubus and they are adgftbnjgfsfvhjj inside
big, hairy werewolf jock girl+ regular boy who is soft and cute
big, hairy werewolf jock girl+ edgy, chiseled-jaw werewolf guy who kisses her hand and lays his head in her lap
realistic “Alpha male and female” werewolves who just are super affectionate with each other and have a really big, boisterous family
two heavily autistic-coded dragons with completely different hoards which regularly bring one another gifts to go in their hoard
mild-mannered, introverted naturalist+ Bigfoot
very normal atheist+ actual minor god
large orc girl+tiny human girl who is strong, athletic and likes to Fight
superhero’s costume/outfit designer+supervillain’s costume/outfit designer
PhD’s without a braincell’s worth of practical knowledge between them
“Sanctuary,” the child cried, running into the library. “Nice try,” the guard following after sneered, “but only holy places can grant sanctuary.” The librarians glanced at each other. A small nod. The head librarian gave the guard a stern look. “Sanctuary granted.”
There are a fair few faux feminist statements I hate, but “We are the daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn” is one of them.
