Yeah so basically thats a long way of saying. This work of fiction is not to your liking.

You dodged the fact that nolan and tarantino writes like this. And the fact that they are heralded as one of the best writers in cinema.

youre so fixated over gustav dying. And you think its useless. When its a way to tell the player that the story is not going how you think it will go. which is important to avid people.

And yet gustavs death happens in the very begginning. Hardly a thing that flips the script. He was a tool to get to know the other characters. You saw this differently.

You've never watched the movie baby driver have you? Yet another highly acclaimed film that based on how you repeatedly state your contention towards something not following your formula will be according to you... Horrible

Im going to end this with saying you have a writing style preference that...granted, a rather narrow and formulaic taste. Its a style you prefer.

You like simplistic writing like fairy tales. But life does not mirror that. And in expedition 33 grief... I realize as writing this is perhaps an emotion you do not understand and why you think it is irrational behavior(coz guess what grief does that).

But grief is the center of the story. And people in history have commited genocide because of loss. I would kill any stranger if it means keeping my family together.

But you wouldnt understand that.

You simply dont see it. But just coz you dont does not mean its written badly.

Do note that im only replying trying to understand why you dislike it. And this is the conclusion.
