One of the reasons I wanted my villain to have some form of omnipresence or something that's consistently seen by the viewer.
After going through multiple fantasy books of different genres and some of the best works, I've noticed a pattern that every single villain or an idea is always present. It's like a subtle reminder.
A great example of this is the wolf from puss in Boots.
The wolf barely has any scream time in the entire movie and only shows up near the very end and it's the climax of the entire movie.
In almost any other scenario that little time to introduce the character and barely any time on the screen wouldn't really pay off.
But I think the reason why it's paid off so well is the idea of the wolf always being present because of the whistle and the association with death, it's an omnipresent force that is a constant reminder and motivator.
Another great example of this is dystopian novels with the government. I think that's why they're so enticing, is because of an omnipresence of these ideas.
It's also explains our obsession with supernatural beings or creatures that can be found around different cultures, it's the omnipresence of these items or phenomenons in everyone's life.
@Shadowman311 Actually now that I think about it how come they don't actually make their own equipment.
I know they might not be able to afford, it but how come they don't make it from scratch?
Because after a month of bringing in groceries in my new driveway / house, I couldn't stand how long it took to bring them in so I literally installed a conveyor belt to where I can just load everything in and take it all in at once.
@beardalaxy Yeah I'm definitely going to do it more often! Especially now because I don't think I even need to introduce magic into my world the premise of dead lovecraftian gods scattered everywhere and no one knows anything it's just an interesting concept.
It also adds a lot more room to where I can tailor a specific villain and more interesting characters because the world building is passive.
After talking to my friend for almost 4 hours about my story I've been creating & the world development.
For the past day I've had so many breakthroughs and a lot new and interesting ideas that came to me because of it I can't thank him enough.
I've really honed in what I think is the most interesting aspect in a feeling that I want to embody the most.
And I think this is a lot more interesting because I want to create a world where essentially every single lovecraftian God is dead.
The remains are scattered across the landscape and there's nothing but the purity of silence and calmness. Remnants of their madness remains but is fading. The other cast like I want to have is that the world is going to be incredibly brutal but at the end of the day everyone truly does care about each other.
@icedquinn a lot of people don't want to hear this but I think a shrinking population isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Because if there is less people gradually over time your labor should be worth more because there's less people who can fulfill that role and less competition naturally. It also means that the people who are left generally have more access to resources theoretically.
Do you guy like this one more then the last or am I completely off base? I do think the name will stick. "Marie" is a word from Maori that means calming.
The title underneath might change or even removed if I keep iterating.
