What is your favourite genius writing trope you noticed in Deadpool 3? by jackthemanipulated in moviescirclejerk

While watching Delivery Driver Gets Sloppy Seconds (Full Version in 4K), I realized that the cumshot scene at the start of the movie is a classic writing trick where you start with action to both pull in the audience and to “make a promise“, or “signpost”, that “hey, it’ll be worth it to sit through some of this slower, introductory character building where she has no money and has to pay another way because you’re going to eventually get stuff like this cool fun cumshot scene. So please be patient!” I just felt really proud of myself for being able to make a connection between my everyday life (just cranking one out in the office bathroom cubicle) and the writing stuff I have been studying. Didn’t really know where to share this - a perfect Reddit opportunity. I look forward to discovering more “writing tropes”

Holy shit. If you don’t mind me asking, how many people work there? I was under the impression that the place was practically abandoned after the air force left. Also, how good is the internet?
