Hmmm, it's early, so let's talk about plot holes.

For a decade, snarkily listing plot holes was very popular. Now it's starting to get some blowback, because it's kind of a pointless way to watch movies/play games.

BUT.

It is important to realize when someone isn't connecting.

When someone says "oh, the stars are wrong" or "oh, how could she have known that" or whatever, this isn't just then being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole.

It's them not being immersed.

When the audience isn't wrapped up, they start looking too closely at the seams.

Obviously, some people that make a living off of pointing at the seams will watch a movie specifically to point at seams, and that's usually what people take umbrage to.

But when your target audience calls out "plot holes" or continuity errors, it means you're not hitting them.

There's this split second when I'm watching a movie or playing a game where my brain notices something - a detail out of place, a weakness of design.

If I'm immersed, my brain immediately goes "nah" and ignores it, because it has better things to do.

If not... I think about it.

If I'm immersed, I'll continue uninterrupted.

Someone might later say "hah, did you notice when X?"

And I'll think "Oh! I did see that, but I didn't really *notice* it. I was busy."

Anyway, if people are noticing your flaws, it might be more about what they're NOT noticing. Make sure your strengths are pulling them in.
