Stories you haven't experienced yet are not plot holes.
Stories you don't like are not plot holes.
Stories you experienced, but forgot about, are not plot holes. (no shame in that, happens to all of us)
Stories where characters make sub-optimal decisions are not plot holes.
@Grammarly changes my punctuation style when making any edit to a quote or contraction, flags it for inconsistency, and then hides the ability to fix it behind a paywall.
What the actual hell?
I feel like a lot of people are missing the point Evan is making:
It's not that Wonka shouldn't be creepy.
It's that he needs to be so charming that you don't always pick up on how creepy he is.
Gene Wilder was charming and witty, Depp and Chalomet are just fuckin weird and creepy. Idk how people remaking these movies don’t understand that. If a man has a chocolate factory with a bunch of little people working for him he can’t be inherently creepy AS WELL
Teleporting to escape a squirrel. Summoning a god to find a hat. Cowering from Santa Claus.
Ezra Bowler never knows what’s gonna happen next when he’s spending the day with Jake Salvador!

Finished another draft of Divided.
It was an interesting experiment. The Kindle Vella Version had been written to be open to interpretation in a way I just don't feel works for a Novella.
I had to try and figure out how to fill the gaps in the puzzle.
Hey #WritingCommunity!
My wife and I are in the process of fulfilling a lifelong dream of running a bookstore. Currently, we've mostly got used books, but if any writers want a platform to sell their books, feel free to DM me!

@wiintah Reddick would say "Eyes up, Guardian" whenever he gave a shout out to Destiny 2 fans on social media.
It was how he tipped his hat to the community.
Ah, the Bojack Horseman problem.
You give a bad person sympathetic features to make them relatable, but relating to the character makes some people feel like it's ok to be a bad person.
The Punisher isn't problematic. He's a bad guy we root for because he kills worse bad guys. The problem is the dummies in jacked pickups festooned with Punisher stickers who don't grasp that the Punisher is a bad guy.
Everyday I think about how Bruce could’ve solved Riddler’s puzzle within the first 5 minutes of the movie if he was more in touch with the working class.
Viewing a carpentry tool only as a murder weapon.
Just such peak Batman storytelling.
@lightrod19 Which is kinda the whole problem.
You don't understand what I'm trying to communicate, but instead of trying to understand, you're just wasting both our times arguing that what I'm saying is wrong.
@lightrod19 I didn't say it wasn't Batman. I said it didn't feel like Batman.
It doesn't. It wasn't designed to.
Reeves intentionally stripped away core aspects of Batman stories to write something that had the pieces of a Batman story without feeling like one.
@lightrod19 He does, however, lose Zorro's suave secret identity, Don Diego de la Vega.
Pattinson's Batman doesn't understand the role his peers play in Gotham's problems, so his Wayne is just a reclusive weirdo.
@lightrod19 Without Bond, the villains are less colorful and the gadgets are far more grounded.
Without Zorro, Bruce Wayne loses his empathy for the city and his understanding that his rich peers are the root of the problem. He learns both of those things in the movie, hence "most."
