Narrative

Dark Sasami: Aww, peas. I search all over, find nothing, search all over again, find nothing, write this thing, and a random link takes me to Snapback. Now what do I do with this thing?
I think it might still have a chance to stand on it's own, if a show discards where the last episode left off once or twice, then it's just a regular snapback , if it does it again and again to the point where the snapback itself has become expected, to the point where the beheading of a major character doesn't even bat an eye, then it's entered a whole new territorry of Negative Continuity
Idle Dandy: Yeah, I think this is a separate thing. These shows have gotten to a point where you don't even expect continuity.
Kendra Kirai: Is it just me, by the way, who gets the feeling that Dis Continuity, Negative Continuity and Reset Button are all more or less the same thing? At least Negative Continuity and Reset Button?
Andyroid: First of all, Dis Continuity isn't related to the other two tropes at all- it's related to Fanon, where fans ignore things that they don't like that happen in the show. Second, Negative Continuity is where a show uses the Reset Button in the most absurd of conditions, like if a character dies and is suddenly alive the next episode without so much as a Hand Wave.
Ununnilium: And you didn't have to post it on all three discussion pages.
Looney Toons: Um. I guess I shouldn't add it to this one myself, then, after putting it on the other two...
Zac:Aeon didn't die at the end of every single episode of Aeon Flux. Just off the top of my head, I'm certain she lived through Thanatophobia, the one with the woman missing a vertebra.
Big T: That's the only episode I ever saw, and she definitely didn't die. And we also get a justification for why she can die in every other episode. She has myriads of clones
Shouldn't Heroes be in here? Ethereal Mutation: I think some of the examples should be deleted on the basis of each new entry being an Alternate Continuity. |
