How could one guess the development of the plot after watching two episodes of many movies and television dramas?

Answer 1

This phenomenon was quite common because many movies and TV series were adapted from novels or comics. The screenwriters and directors would refer to and draw lessons from existing storylines and character settings in the creative process. Therefore, when the audience saw the series for the first time, they might have some expectations and understanding.

However, even if it was based on an existing storyline, the development of the plot was not fixed. The screenwriter and director might also make some changes and adjustments to reflect the current social and cultural background and present a more colorful storyline.

Therefore, for some movies and television dramas, we can guess the development of the plot after watching two episodes. We can see it as a kind of "fast food culture". It does not necessarily represent the quality of the work, and we should not treat them too harshly. When watching a movie or TV series, we can properly understand and predict the plot, and at the same time, we can also appreciate the different ways of presentation of the work to obtain a more comprehensive and rich experience.
