One of the most important lessons I've learned as a writer comes from improv classes. "Leave yourself somewhere to go" - a story doesn't have to escalate immediately, emotions should be used with nuance. This is why I'm fatigued with Marvel: how many times can humanity/Earth/the universe be in danger? I realize this is especially important when you intend to write a series.

@kazarnowicz One of the things I so appreciated about #TheExpanse was how many of the turning points were, essentially, irreversible.

@kazarnowicz I reached critical mass, or maybe peak exhaustion, with the MCU several movies back and haven't been able to muster up the wherewithal to watch anything after ... Far From Home, I think?

This is probably the best explanation I didn't realize I needed for why. I'm emotionally exhausted. 😮‍💨

@kazarnowicz @ShaulaEvans This is also an issue in Doctor Who.
