watch this before you watch this

dont you hate that? a show you remembered long ago so you find it and give it a watch but realize there must be something missing and the characters know each other already

for example: hot wheels Acceleracers (Movie Series) has 4 movies, 5 counting the 5th one, lets say you only knew of the second movie or the first movie of 4, Ignition. you seen that on tv but you wouldnt know more were made and ignition isnt the first half of the story, so if you watched it out of order, you would be lost and, _Ignition starts with flash backs to events that didnt happen early in, well thats why there is a total of five movies, no four, world race is the first but its not listed with the 4 movies when it should

There was a anime that had all there episodes out of order. I did not like

I think it's usually worse if pretty much nobody acknowledge previous episodes/films events and everything feels completely standalone.

The heavier the story the more I mind them trying to make every individual part standalone as I feel that forces the character to retread more of the same every new episode/film just to force character development for a new audience.

"for example: hot wheels Acceleracers " <- That's probably what's causing the problem.


You may really enjoy the notion or are otherwise drawn to it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is "good." That's OK - We all have bad taste at some time or another. No prob, have fun! You' are allowed to enjoy "crap" just as much as I am! :) But...


It should be very rare that you encounter a good movie or a good "Series" that doesn't do a few basic things to establish all of the necessary information you need in order to understand what is happening in any particular movie or episode.

Pick up any TV show, no matter how long-running it has been, then watch one episode. Any episode. (Certain "season finales" or "specials" excluded - They've got a different job to do.)

If you can't feel comfortable watching the rest of the episode and being able to comprehend the basics of the plot and characters after the first fifteen minutes, the writing is likely pretty bad and the show likely sucks. (Adjust time for play-length, of course.) The same goes for any decent movie, too. (Twenty minutes, max? Should know all the basics? Shorter viewing time for a decent action/adventure kind of thing.)

You know what you should do?

Complain to the producers of those movies. Make them not want to pay for shoddy writing or direction.

I'm not joking. How else are they going to know that their consumers expect better of them? Go find their Twitter account and complain. You may not actually be speaking to them, but at least your words will get out and maybe someone with some clout will read them one day.
