Why didn’t he set his plan in motion years ago? No one knows!Īva as a character is a weak one. Also, Alex’s hidden motive doesn’t make sense. That mystery is a bit far-fetched for my liking. Then there is the family drama between Ava & her father. I don’t like this belittling in romance books. Because for some reason a grown-ass woman like Ava is not capable of taking care of herself. The story revolves around the trope of ‘Brother’s Best Friend’ where Alex takes care of Ava at the request of his best friend, Ava’s brother by moving beside her apartment as a neighbour. The plot of Twisted Love is not that strong.

![]() ![]() In Season 1, Episode 3, protagonist Din Djarin is struck multiple times by Stormtroopers. However, The Mandalorian hasn't been so willing to fall into this same trap. ![]() Tropes like "Stormtrooper aim" and "plot armor" often serve as criticism for a lack of realistic storytelling, as they can pull audiences out of the story and prevent the danger of any given sequence from resonating. Protagonists often wear what's referred to as "plot armor." It's the requirement that they make it through relatively minor conflicts unharmed so that they're able to proceed through the rest of the story. Whether they are on open battlefields, shooting at stationary targets, or in the narrow hallways of the Death Star, Stormtroopers rarely hit the heroes with their blaster bolts.įrom an out-of-universe perspective, it's easy to see why. One would think that elite soldiers would be able to strike a target from relatively short distances. Especially after gaining insight into their training, the imprecision of Stormtroopers is baffling. Historically, Stormtroopers almost never hit a main character at whom they aim. Stormtroopers are famously imprecise, despite Obi-Wan's words. Upon re-watch, that scene is almost comical given all the Star Wars media produced since then. ![]() ![]() Jun 3 Sailor Starlights Become Fashion Models on anan's Latest Cover.11:45 Man Steals 2.2 Million Yen in Pokémon Cards.Apr 8 Oshi no Ko is a Dark Look at the Entertainment Industry. ![]()
