Is that not a perception issue, and more descriptive of the viewer than any specific action on the part of the creator? How do we objectively define what 'adds nothing to the story' looks like?
- kulahan 4y agoThis is a weird question. You can't objectively define that because what adds nothing to story A could add everything to story B. However, it's not very difficult to read an individual story and pick out which parts do and don't contribute to the plot well. This is just talking about Chekov's Guns.
- foldr 4y agoHow is someone having a particular ethnicity a Chekov's gun? When a show introduces a white character, do you expect there to be some kind of plot payoff in a future episode where the fact that they're white makes all the difference?
