This Is Why Lightning Returns’ Story Is Garbage

CCC Says: "There’s an old piece of advice when it comes to writing fiction: “show, don’t tell.” The idea is to show important events happening rather than fire them at our face with long winded exposition. For example, it’s boring to write “John was angry” but more interesting to write “John frothed at the mouth as he swore vengeance for his fallen comrades” … or something like that. Similarly, important pieces of a character’s backstory can’t come out of left field. They have to be referenced throughout the story through characters and setting. If John’s father used to be in the military, it would make sense that his father’s house would have at least some military regalia in it. That’s foreshadowing 101."
