Ok. So its something im sorta frustrated with in movie and film plots. Its where the characters seem to intentionally not tell other characters things for apparently no reason. So its like a fair amount of the plot would not exist if the characters would just mention relevant things. This is usually in fantasy types like in particular I am seeing it with the magicians and school spirits. I mean maybe behavior like this is common outside my experience but its weird to me.
It’s an easy trope to add conflict into the plot. Probably will get even worse as AI starts taking the jobs of actual talented writers since AI can’t create anything novel and has to generate tropes
