Recently, I was watching a show in which a beloved character was in a situation where they were going to die, but they get saved by their friends.
I find this type of plot to be boring and overused. Why donβt writers let their characters die? I feel it would be more interesting to have an important character die, such as the MC, more often.
Itβs an overused trope that most writers tend to use so their story can have a βhappy endingβ.
I agree. Deus Ex Machina usually just signifies lazy writing.
