Characters repeatedly "dying" but then surviving again. That's why I liked game of thrones so much when I first watched it
Jon Snow has re-entered the chat
Haha fair enough you got me there
This is so important! People like to be surprised by inciting incidents, not by the consequences of them. Showing a character dying and then not having them die is a good way to make the audience think you're lying when you're not.
Game of thrones, feels like a kid whimsically thought about a classical story then killed the main characters. Everyone would normally think it's too immature for a story. Instead it became one of the most watched shows. Except the "killing off characters" thing ,the show was well made.
