@Fabricant451 Well I never said that was right either. Haven't watched Lost so can't say.
@Apokalipse I think both type of shows can do shock value type of stuff and both can be bad. Sometimes plot driven shows just have shitty plots. I just tend to dislike plot driven because when they kill a character off they completely change who the character is just so they can achieve the end goal of causing the actions and events that get the character killed. I'm not saying you can't ever kill a character, just make sure that it makes sense with what's likely to happen and what the character would do.
A really well character driven show is Gravity Falls. Like if anyone's seen it, you can
clearly tell when something is happening to move the plot along because it's so OOC. Well then they're deriving from the genuine character and that's writing's fault not the fact that it's a character-driven show. If shows want to sell out, that's on production, not the fact that characters are being developed. I'm not exactly sure if those are completely character driven shows but maybe they just have a higher amount of popular shows that sell out. But that doesn't make character-driven shows insufficient. You want to know a bad plot-driven show? Walking. Dead. It's fucking trash.
I can't say anything about Clarke but I hate the CW for how they portray LGBT characters. Why are the only females that like other females both have to be hot and make out? Why can't there be a gay character that's well developed and not only used for comic relief? So even if their intentions are honest, I'm still skeptical about why they made Clarke with Lexa.
@HalfOfLancelot Okay yeah but those are all comedies which focus on the comedy more than anything so it's not necessary to have a plot. But hey, don't drag on the Office. That was an amazing show.
I know someone here who will FIGHT you for thinking otherwise.Oh no, I'm not like a rage demon of hate if you like a NOTP. I'll judge you a little since people who tend to like that ship are similar and try to observe and see if you have those traits but I'm totally cool with it being your OTP. I just want to debate it and see why you like it. Yeah, I'm not for that either but at the same time I'm not for anti-hetero shipping either.
@Fabricant451 Maybe since fiction isn't really your thing, you tend to be more big picture and that's why you prefer plot-driven, because you rarely care for an individual character's story.
@lovely complex Usually for me if death is your main selling point and what you're trying to conform around in creating the show, I won't like it. It says to me that you're not a good enough writer to come up with something new and creative and that will affect the characters aside from pain. Because everything basically becomes pointless and you're just as bad as action movies that are just explosions and one liners (Michael Bay movies, a
lot of
popular superhero movies, etc).
@Fabricant451 Okay but after only watching the first season, the L Word's just plain trash.
