I'm there for the payoff. But it's also important to keep the "burn" interesting. Not a fan when the writers forget what made the relationship interesting in the first or just forget the pairing entirely. Or jerk back and forth with the same kind of conflict until I get bored. Or ugh, turn the payoff into nothing more than a fizzling fart with minimal to no satisfaction.

Curious for those who like slowburn

[(Anonymous)]

Do you also like mystery novels? Seems random, I know, but I cannot stand either because I want answers up front and am impatient! However, if the story starts with them together and then does like a flashback, then that might be okay. Same with if a mystery starts with the answer and then goes back to show you how it was done or walks through the clues.

[(Anonymous)]

I LOVE a good slowburn BUT the payoff is only worth it if you actually get a payoff. I hate when shows, for example, have multiple seasons of slowburn only to get the couple in question together in the series finale or something similar. You do eventually want to see the burn, not just the slow, if you will.

[(Anonymous)]

I can enjoy a slow-burn if it's done well but honestly, I don't think most are done well. The story just shoves in contrived circumstances to keep them apart and at a certain point it really does beg the question as to whether these two characters are even compatible at all yanno?

Payoff is something that should happen and not just right at the end without any of the happy-ever-after because otherwise what was the point?

[(Anonymous)]

I like slow burns in fic/literature MUCH more than on shows.

I don't mind them sometimes in a series if it's not actually too heavily forecast. Like, the characters have chemistry but they're not mutually pining forever. Maybe they have other relationships? I think Longmire did that well.

[(Anonymous)]

I like slow burns, but I don't like it when the story twists itself into knots to keep the slow burn going.

[(Anonymous)]

I like slow burn, but a lot of people who think they're writing slow burn cannot write slow burn.

[(Anonymous)]

they take forever to get anywhere

Yeah, I sure hope it does!

[(Anonymous)]

I do like slow burns too, unless the obstacles (including obliviousness or insecurities) get too ridiculous. (Also, if friends of A and B all know that A and B have feelings for each other, but don't say anything, no matter the amount of emotional pain, then I am not going to think much of those friends. If they encourage A and B to talk to each other and A and B just don't, then yeah, that's on A and B, but if they are there, knowing the feelings are serious, and they are rolling their eyes, dropping sly asides, or making bets, I am not down with that.)

On the one hand, I really strongly believe that filmmaking is a collaborative creative endeavor. And so I think actors absolutely should bring their creative energy to the project in whatever way they can. That is part of the process ofaking a truly great movie.

On the other hand, some directors - especially in recent years - take this way too far, to the point where it does make the end product feel flabby and weak. You can't let improvisation get in the way if plot, structure and pacing. And you still have to edit the improve together in a way that's ultimately coherent and works. You gotta be the one, as the director, to bring it all together.

I don't think we should be mean, but maybe a little constructive criticism if they ask for it. Also, I feel like this also happens in M/M ships with whoever fandom designates as the uke.

I can remember almost nothing about this show except that I loved it when it was on air and was sorry to see it leave. Partly it was the novelty of seeing a TV series set in the middle ages, with a good looking cast!

I have always agreed with this, yeah. It's a very real portrayal of grief and the emptiness you feel when all you knew is just... suddenly over. Not to mention the loss of Aerith is something he has no idea how to cope with. That kind of self-blame and isolation is so common with grief.

I actually really love Advent Children, messy as it is.

I know so many people that love reaction videos and I just do not get it. I mean logically I have had it explained to me and I understand why you all enjoy it, but I just do not feel any of that and it will just be one of those "okay, have fun" things. I am happy people have things that make them happy.
