Line 31: === Economy of the script === By the very nature of summarizing a complicated plot, the coverage will not include every plot twist and subplot. Some characters will be omitted, or only briefly introduced for the sake of brevity. In order to decide on what will stay and what will go, the character and actions must support the main plot, and ultimately the premise of the story. Scripts that are not economical and include peripheral characters, scenes, and storylines that do not support character or plot development do not affect their motivation, and therefore can be omitted from the coverage. In this manner, well-written scripts may have longer synopses than poorly written scripts with a lot of extraneous action. Infinity war was a masterclass on script economy. The amount of time each character has in that ensemble-finale plot is miniscule and every single word had to count. It's worth a rewatch just to admire how economical the writers were to keep the movie from being 8+ hours while also staying coherent. ==References==
