So what you've basically said is that we should predetermine the results of all fights here, before writing them- because they should not be competitive, and the only way to achieve that is, as I said, to predetermine and prechoreograph them.
I cannot agree with this.
A fight has to be competitive, because predictability is the enemy of innovation and good entertainment. Choreographing a fight is something you do for a play, not for an exploratory writing like the fights here are at least intended to be. Unless you think that none of the writing here should be exploratory, in which case, should people start acting that way, I will have to leave quickly before I get so bored I do something *really* stupid to break the monotony.
Because if you already know who's going to win before you even start, there's no real point to writing the fight- all the fights will become like professional wrestling- interesting in the middle of the fight, but mostly just pointless hysterical attention-grabbing theatrics with no actual value at all. |
