Re: Can someone please explain to me
1) The scene is not honest. A good scene builds emotional resonance by treating the characters honestly, and earning the sympathy of the audience through good character development. A dishonest scene just cribs together a mess of cliches that are supposed to make us feel an emotion by association. The James Bond WiR is a good example. She's just a plot device to establish big bad as bad, and Bond as angry.
2) The writer starts with a good scene, but doesn't trust the audience, so they add more and more formulaic elements and cliches to try to force it. The result feels rather like a Jim Steinman song, but without the gonzo sense of fun. ME3 is terrible at this.
3) The emotional development of the work is fairly obviously staged around commercial ends. For example, having a dramatic cliffhanger before the commercial break or ridiculously prolonging and teasing the resolution of a romantic conflict to maximize advertising sales. A literary example is Anne Rice's The Witching Hour which isn't really a novel and has a cliffhanger to prompt you to buy the next novel. (In contrast to Pet Semetary which ends on a cliffhanger but has enough structure for you to make a good guess about the epilogue.)
