31. "So the writer wants villains dispatched quicker?" In response to In response to 30
I’m not sure what to glean from that last paragraph outside of that.
I think the bit about showing Luke’s day-to-day heorics spread out over the course of a few minutes was a valid critique, but it lost me at the comparison between the way they handle the movie and TV villains. It’s not a realistic comparison given the vast differences of each format as things need to be paced very differently.
You have 2, 2 ½ hours to complete an arc in a movie and even if they trim the number of episodes for the shows it’s still not a reasonable comparison. The show is long form, character driven storytelling that requires a different sort of pacing. I don’t understand the desire to dispatch villains quicker in the show.
One advantage of the shows is that we ultimately get better fleshed out villains than the ones we get in the films. Defeating foes quicker in the shows means having to cycle through a rogues gallery to keep things moving and we get less time to spend fleshing out the villians.
