New video out now! I tackle a couple of things that will make sense of several things, including the idea of storytelling rules and how they aren't even frameworks like some people often say. I define what stories are and what storytelling is, tackle the key to success with writing, etc.

The Marvels had a major problem in that silly "Disney World' scene where everyone communicates through song and dance alone... Kind of cute but mostly just DUMB (especially when a bilingual character turns up)... Maybe that is NEGATIVE resonance?

I'd argue that is the result of self-indulgence, which I'll discuss far more in next week's episode. Disney Marvel and Disney Star Wars have suffered big time due to self-indulgence, which interferes with resonance since certain things I mention in this video, particularly with what storytelling is, don't matter to someone who is self-indulgent. It's not about communication to them, it's about self-expression. And I've serious problems with that even if I feel self-expression does have it's place.
