Why do you need to be “qualified” to talk about a character arc??
Like, it’s not some obscure term that only film critics know or something only they get to have an opinion on… Seems like some unnecessary gatekeeping.
Yeah I had Twitter for all of 20 minutes until I realized that it was all just pure vitriol. I deleted Facebook because I thought it was too bitchy. Twitter was another beast entirely.
She may just be pointing out how buzzwords seem to explode throughout the internet, like when someone mentioned boiling a frog in a pot and now someone shares that exact metaphor in every 1 in 4 threads.
I'd go much further, unless you're citing yourself as a primary source for a fact, citing your credentials isnt very impressive to me.
Ideas matter - the dumbest SOB can come up with great ideas, and the smartest one can come up with dumb ones. And job experience most definitely doesn't make your opinion valuable - I've seen way too many people bad at their jobs for that
Oh yeah, I know someone who named her kid Khaleesi. Oh dear.
But let's be honest if you're going to call your kid Khaleesi that kid was always going to grow to be a stripper. Poor kid. She is going to be in high school before she learns how to lean to spell it.
Just to be nit picky: Khaleesi was a title, like queen or chieftess. The character was named Daenerys Targaryen. So they would technically have not named their child after a character.
