Dramatic Elements in a Loki Episode Count

My intention here is not to bring up the LOKI Episode count, or spoil the end of the LOKI Episode but rather to use the power of storytelling to illustrate a concept I have been using for some time now in my own practice, and that is the difference between a story and a myth. When I use a story I am normally creating it from a story or movie in another medium such as a book, screenplay or even video. When I use a mythic story or narrative device it is generally from a story or movie in another medium, such as an animated film or a play. For example if you are listening to a story about the tooth fairy you have likely either seen the movie or read the book where the tooth fairy resides and this may make you think that the Tooth Fairy existed thousands of years ago.

This would be my interpretation of the information given to you in the recap, however the information in the recap does not give you the entire story. It does give you a general idea of how the episode progressed, however if you want to learn the specifics you will need to go back to the source material or your local library for the original story. However I would like to make my point regarding how many stories can be used in a loki episode and how much original material you can use in a loki episode.

In order to make a great drama out of your story you really need to limit yourself to only using a few original, creative stories and using those stories to build up the characters in each episode. For example if you start with a simple story of a couple in love and then add an extra dramatic element like body art or extreme injuries you can really spice up those original stories into thrilling and emotional endings that you and your viewers won’t find in many episodes of soap opera type shows. Plus if you limit yourself to using two hours ago episodes you limit the amount of potential plot twists that could happen years from now.
