Tbh... I don't think TOH should get a pass for it's shoddy plot just because some of the stuff that happens within the plot invokes an emotional response in people.

First of all, people react to concepts with varying degrees of emotional intensity based on what they like and/or their life experiences. Secondly, you can still create resonate moments with a good plot lmao.

There is no reason TOH should get a pass for making Belos a non threat for most of Season 1 just because people think x, y, z moment is wholesome or whatever.

#toh critical #i really hate this weird trend where people think story structure should be disregarded just because they happened to like an idea #and i guess there is an argument to be had that we shouldn't care about story structure because most people aren't even #aware of it when they start reading or watching something. Like they left everything they learned in literature class after they #graduated high school or college.#but it's like... then why do ppl go online to read negative analyses of their favorite piece of literature or media lmao #because people who write analyses care about story structure and it's important to them. so.#oh right and you know. just because most people aren't aware of story structure doesn't mean you shouldn't write a good story #that's like saying ''well since people don't care about music theory that means I can make a song without using music theory'' like???#very bizarre tbh
