Anyways, I now harbor intense concern for the live-action Zelda film coming in 2027, if only because I know they can do amazing things with it but will likely choose not to.

Zelda is owned by Nintendo right? Did you see the Mario movie? Nintendo guards their IPs intensely

…I did not like the Mario movie, if that was your implication.

I know they’re going to get rid of everything I like about it (Link being shorter than Zelda and killing that backless dress and Gerudo outfit)

I think the hard part about my writing is that I find it really hard to write comedy, especially once I’m in a flow with writing dramatic moments.

Like, how do you write a comedic beat right on the heels of multiple very dark moments?
How do you control the tone and prevent it from nosediving?

The answer tends to be that you should refrain from really sinking your teeth into your dark moments, but I find that impulse control to be hard.

for instance, after a dramatic and heartwrenching scene, you can lighten the mood by having one of your characters say “well that happened”

Something truly funny happening that’s tragic?

Link after one of the antagonists goes on a monologue about how he laments the sacrifices he has had to make:

#13503

“Captain, why didn’t you take the cyclops out? “
“I made a mistake, I thought mercy was”
“To dinner”
“What”
“You could have been best friends”
“I stabbed his eye”
“Love is blind”

It’s mostly the fact that I have massive creative inspiration for visual work and absolutely no fucking way to output it because my skill is shit and that makes me very very irritated
