With great power, there must also come great responsibility:

Good stories need structure. How many times has someone tried to tell you a story, and they just go on and on about the most pointless things, and by the time they get to the juicy bits you’ve already checked out? How often has a movie done that? I talk a lot about writing on this channel, with rewrites and story pitches, but rarely do I ever go into what makes a story work. I’ve always been fascinated with story structure, and I think breaking down a film or piece of media is super important, both for writers to practice their craft but also as an audience to better understand why something works. So today I wanted to break down one of my favorite movies of all time, *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse*, to ask one question: How do you tell a story?
