• Name them Witt

  • Make other characters look straight to the camera and say "wow Witt is so witty, and smart and cunning"

  • Make them reveal shit happening was all according their secret masterplan as many times as posible

  • The character wins no matter what Deus ex Machina you gotta pull, again, all according to their masterplan

    Make other characters look straight to the camera and say "wow Witt is so witty, and smart and cunning"

    barely related, but my favorite moment from Wonder Woman 1984 is when Diana Wonder Woman and Kristen Wiig Cat Lady go out for drinks and get to know each other. The scene begins with Diana Wonder Woman laughing at something we the audience didn't get to hear, says to Cat Lady, "you're so funny 😂," and the scene moves on. Like, you've got talented comedienne Kristen Wiig in your movie and you're establishing her character, and the writer (writers? I'm not looking it up) couldn't come up with a single funny thing for her to say? The entire movie is inept on every possible level but for some reason, that moment of ineptitude is the one that lodged itself in my brain.
