“I had such a build up for Wonder Woman, I got the part in 2012. I was so ready, I had these months of me getting super excited about this character, I literally just wanted to attack, to give it a bite, to dive in. And the only thing that I cared about was telling Diana’s story.” —
Gal Gadot.
In literary criticism, an idiot plot is “a plot which is kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot" and where the story would otherwise be over if this were not the case. It is a narrative where its conflict comes from characters not recognizing, or not being told, key information that would resolve the conflict, often because of plot contrivance. The only thing that prevents the conflict’s resolution is the character’s constant avoidance or obliviousness of it throughout the plot, even if it was already obvious to the viewer, so the characters are all “idiots” in that they are too obtuse to simply resolve the conflict immediately.
12 – Far Beyond the Stars “You can deny me all you want but you cannot deny Ben Sisko. He exists. That future, that space station, all those people, they exist in here, in my mind.”
