VideoboysaysCube 03/28/21 1:33:48 AM #29:	I think the issue with prequels has to do with a general principle of storytelling. When you write a story, you're supposed to begin at the inciting incident, where the protagonist's life undergoes a sudden change. Trying to dredge up a story out of an earlier point in time means finding a story that's ultimately inconsequential to whatever is happening in the present moment. Generally speaking, if there is any vital information from an earlier time that must be known, it's better to reference it organically throughout the present day story. --- This sentence has five words.

DeadBankerDream 03/28/21 6:15:23 AM #47:	My problem with prequels is that they largely reputiate the concept of backstory for your characters. Which is fucking annoying.

FortuneCookie 03/28/21 6:40:28 AM #50:	About the only way to make a good prequel is if it's a story that was already written, but passed over for whatever reason. If you look at The Godfather: Part II, the prequel portions of the movie are based on a paper of the novel not covered in the first movie. If you're making up the past after the present, you're going to run into character breaks and continuity errors. Indiana Jones doesn't believe in the supernatural in 1936 despite seeing it firsthand in 1934. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:952200280] in All preque...
