Scientific American GoT article
Tim found this article last night and shared it with me and it really made me understand the fundamental flaws in the storytelling with season 8 of GoT and how we tell stories in general.
And now every show I watch, I'm sitting here examining whether it is using sociological or psychological storytelling traits. Just watched the latest episode of Attack on Titan and I think that one definitely works the sociological side of things. Same with The Expanse.
But I can also how our news outlets make the mistake of leaning on psychological storytelling when they report stories, forcing the viewer to see the world through an us vs. them lens.
Anyway, even if you're not a Game of Thrones fan, the article is a really good read for writers, readers and viewers of all media.
