What the creators of Hotel Transylvania clearly ignored about "Maccarena" is that this song is about a woman named Maccarena that cheated on her boyfriend Victorino constantly, while he was at war...just perfect choice for an epic climax

It’s interesting cause I feel like a great climax foreshadows a skill that the main character will learn in the beginning (like Po learning the chi technique from Master Shifu.) Extra points if they manage to make it seamless.

i really wanted to like the movie Rya, she had a kickass design, and her fight skills were so much fun to watch, i also liked how Nemari was designed, very powerful and intimidating, i loooved their battles against each other. the point were I immediately disliked the movie was when dumbass dragon, out of the blue, decided to give full trust to Nemari when SHE WAS AIMING A DAMN CROSSBOW RIGHT AT HER. Nemari was actively pulling on the trigger - she had every intent to kill the blue dragon and Rya KNEW IT. Rya could very well see that the dumb dragon was making a terrible choice to trust her enemy so she attempts to stop her and then dumb dragon decides to chastise Rya for not being trusting e_e. i literally yelled at my tv when i watched that scene, it ruined the whole movie. and then at the end Rya is forced to be "trusting" and we're all supposed to forgive Nemari? Nemari didnt even save everyone just because she turned a new leaf, no she was about to turn to stone if she didnt use the crystal so duh of course shes going to use it to "save" everyone. it just makes me so mad. ugh <b>end small rant</b>

Wreck-It Ralph's speech from the 2012 movie of the same name, which is also an amazing climax.<br><br>"I Am Bad, And That's Good. I Will Never Be Good, And That's Not Bad. There's No One I'd Rather Be... Than Me."

Friendly recommendation of a video: How to write a mascot<br><br>It’s sounds easy at first but I think writing a mascot is harder then you think, as a mascot isn’t just a cute little sidekid to the main characters.<br>They are the representative of the entire story, They are meant to embody everything that the story is all about and put all the story’s themes and writing style in just one funny character<br><br>(Good examples are Monokuma from danganronpa, Morgana from persona 5, Kyubey from madoka magica and Mickey Mouse for Disney as a whole)

The climax of the movies is often the most important part where everything comes together

To me, some of the best endings are those were we see how the lives of the characters will be now that the story is over, a nice closure by letting us know what the characters we know and love are up to after our goodbye to the story. Good examples being Gravity falls, Jojo part 4, My hero academia and team fortress.

Lowkey the climax would’ve been better if Namari became greedy and tried to steal all the broken shards and then Raya or one of her teammates pushed her away while taking her gem and then one of the monsters got Namari mid-fall so she became stone and when she fell, she broke into pieces so now Raya and her teammates all seized the gems and then united them…OR while fighting Namari, Raya would’ve killed Namari then seized the pics and while finding her friends with the gems, she would’ve found someone (from Namari’s nation) that was helping Raya’s teammates, she could’ve trusted that person to grab one of the shard to unite them and then show that not everyone has to be like someone from a nation, race, or idea.

Ok might be a crazy question but is this guy a professional writer? I've watched him for ages and never questioned why he is so good at story telling-
