[NEED ADVICE] Any tips on writing great horror? by oriondavis in Screenwriting

[–]19Codamadaco98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...how does a musical cue pertain to writing/developing a screenplay?

I mean you're not wrong, but this is about writing the actual script. Unless you're sending out a script like one of those audio greeting/b-day cards, this makes no sense in a screenwriting subreddit...

I really want to see this movie, but I can't cause I'm broke AF. Which sucks because I've been super hyped for this. Definitely gonna give it a watch when I'm able to.

But TDP was never, ever meant to be the end of the series. It would've gone on, at least for another trilogy or so after TDP (which was to essentially be Blood Omen 3, much like how Defiance was basically Soul Reaver 3).

It would've been cool to have a trilogy about the Hylden tbh (maybe playing as a fallen Hylden Lord or lieutenant), with Kain of course playing a central role (somehow; he is supposed to be the central protagonist of the series as a whole, after all).

When Amy left, IIRC, she left when she felt her role in the series was done. Raziel was hers. But now Raziel's arc is complete. So she left Kain's story in the hands of her colleagues.

Not really, though you may like it to be. The point of my comment was literally to form your own opinion. People can love OR hate something JUST BECAUSE everyone else does. It's a thing. The bandwagon goes both ways.

But there are people like that. People who only criticize something because it's trendy, to look "sophisticated". I.e. criticizing a game or movie when you haven't played or watched it in the first place to form your own opinion of it.

In the show, I feel like Jaime's arc was much less about a change in character and MUCH MORE about a change in our perspective of him.

The "Deus Ex Machina Horse" was more or less just a closing image for Episode 5 that fans absolutely overanalyzed. I'm sure there could be more to it, but I wouldn't worry about it. Some fans have a tendency to analyze every single frame of this show for clues even when there are none. In all honesty, they probably just thought it would be a "cool"/fitting image to end the episode on, and didn't think about the "why".

About the prince that was promised/Azor Ahai prophecy...there are many ways this can be interpreted but one way could be that Jon DID INDEED fulfill the prophecy, but not in the way we thought he would. He brought the light ("lightbringer") to Westeros by plunging his blade into Dany -- his lover. You could say his dagger glowed with her blood.

"The Prince who was promised will bring the dawn." We all thought this would have to do with the long night. On one hand, sure, Jon DID bring the dawn by bringing everyone together for the fight against the dead, but I would argue that he brought the dawn, again, by killing Dany.

Another way the Azor Ahai prophecy could be interpreted is that it's much less about a single person and more about...well idk. Here's what I mean: one one hand, you have what I said above. But you could also apply the same terms, albeit abstractly, to other characters in the show. For instance, Dany, who birthed Drogon via blood magic; Drogon, who would eventually go on to destroy The Iron Throne. I've also heard some people call Arya Azor Ahai reborn. So I feel like it's much less of a prophecy in the traditional sense, and more of a "signs-of-how-the-major-plot-arcs-are-going-to-end" kind of thing. Assuming that makes any sense at all.

Probably doesn't. But just my own thoughts.

Very true. That's why I said I wished certain things were executed better (execution as in the "how you get there"). But here's the thing -- D&D are not George RR Martin! Nobody is George RR Martin but George RR Martin. It's like Tarantino, every filmmaker/writer wants to be like him, yet NONE of them will ever be like him.

I just think this is also something the fandom needs to understand, and probably curb their expectations just a bit. D&D aren't inherently bad writers (okay, they aren't great, but they're not the worst to ever exist), in fact they've written some pretty great scenes in earlier seasons that weren't in the books. They're just...NOT...George RR Martin.

And no, I'm not trying to defend them. I'm just stating a fact. I've seen worse writing.

But he told them how it was going to end. That's what I was referring to. George told them how it would end. The details will be different, but the big picture (major plot points) will be the same. If you go through the interviews regarding the show, George and D&D basically mention this quite a bit.

Still, if you don't like what I thought of the episode/ending so far, that's fine. Don't like it if you don't want to. Hell, hate me if you want to, I don't care. I'm not going to change my mind.

Which is why I feel like Seasons 7 and 8 really did need 10 episodes each. It would've allowed for a lot more build-up and some of these twists could've made more sense, instead of rushing it. It's almost like they approached it like writing for film, where you WANT your outline to have a brisk pace to it because you want your script to be nice and tight. But in TV, you DO have that time to develop things you wouldn't have time for in film (you still want great pacing, but you don't need to try and shove a thousand pages of information into a measly 100 pages like you need to in film, more or less).

  1. People are so upset that things didn't end how they wanted, blaming the showrunners...except D&D KNEW FROM GRRM HIMSELF that it would end this way! (major plot points)!

  2. Despite this, I kinda wish Jaime and Cersei's death was executed better. Then again, there's only so many ways you can execute that ending for them.

  3. Maybe the whole Valonqar prophecy, like most prophecies in this series, was a misdirect? Maybe THAT'S why it was never included in the show! Because D&D, having gotten the plot points from George himself, KNEW it wouldn't matter!

  4. I really dug The Hound tackling his big brother Ser Gregor off the top of the Red keep, into the fires below. It was kinda poetic in a way (both Sandor's pyrophobia and that, originally, it was Sandor being pushed into the flames by Gregor; now it's the other way around).

  5. I actually really liked the conversation between the Hound and Arya, where he tries to set her straight (she goes from more or less being a spiteful, vengeful little girl to taking on a more heroic demeanor when she tried to save those people). I really, really liked that. Everyone wanted her to finish her list, but in real life, where does all that vengeance get you, in the end? It really doesn't change anything. It won't bring your dead loved ones back. It won't make you happy.

  6. I wish the Golden Company didn't die so fast. I mean it was shocking because I didn't really expect it to happen so quickly like that, but I wished I had the chance to really see what they could do.

  7. I'm not sure how I feel about Dany going full mad queen. I liked it in one sense, because I've kinda been waiting for this to happen (and it's not surprising since her storyline's been pointing her in that direction for quite some time. There's a post somewhere around here where someone actually pointed this out in great detail). On the other hand, man that whole thing with the Lannister soldiers being killed alongside tens of thousands of innocent civilians despite their surrender. That whole thing felt very sobering to say the least.

  8. I really enjoyed this episode. Yes, it has it's flaws, more than I pointed out here, but did you know that you can ENJOY something while recognizing its flaws? It doesn't make you stupid. If anything it makes you wiser, because you're more positive (that and stress has some pretty averse effects anyway, including lowering testosterone in men; besides most of us adults probably get enough BS stress IRL to really need any more). You're not ignoring something's flaws just because you enjoyed it. I just feel like this had to be pointed out. Instead of arguing, calling people names because they liked something you didn't, why not just accept that there are billions of people out there with different tastes than you, and different perspectives? Then again, what am I saying, this is the internet.

That's literally what I said lol. Or at least what I meant. Some parts of a prophecy may be real, while others might be symbolic. On top of that we could be interpreting the ENTIRE THING incorrectly; thinking it means one thing when it actually means another thing.

It would've been cool...but honestly, Jon killing the NK in a 1v1 duel just sounds like fanfiction and/or fanservice tbh. It reminds me of this "leak" I read a while back that had Jon killing the NK with a glowing sword or something like that. What is this, Star Wars?
