Right. Like "safe" is somehow ineffective.I hate when people say "safe"
Also don't get how people spend all their time trying to figure a story out then get mad when they do. And no one understands what the word "plot hole" means anymore. And people don't realize their need for stories to be coldly logical would lead to a lot of shitty or boring stories...
I could go on.
I can agree with that, you should be more worried about the character interactions.
I can't fault people for caring about plot, but it seems to just dominate discussion and it's just the most boring thing about stories. Id rather get into character like you said, or themes, or author intent. Anything than just "what happened last episode" ad nauseam.
