I despise the “flashback to a thing that literally happened five minutes ago to make sure you connect that with whatever just happened/is about to happen.”
Total fucking turnoff. I’m here watching the show and I’m not an idiot. Flashback to something last season or a number of episodes ago? Fine. Some people need a reminder. Within the same episode? GTFO of here with that shit.
Most movies and TV shows are created these days with the assumption that people are on their phones at the same time. I mean actual studio notes to that effect when the plot becomes too difficult for the average person to follow when they have it on while they're also watching TikTok.
I get it. But I still hate it.
"you biiig fuckin idiot. You're such a dummy, you need this flash back from 5 minutes ago because you're too stupid to connect the moment otherwise"
I think they expect that you we're yelling at your kids to put down the matches and need to remind you while you're doom scrolling X
