Plot hole

A plot hole or plot error is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story’s plot. Such inconsistencies include such things as illogical or impossible events, and statements or events that contradict earlier events in the storyline. As an example, we are going to take a look at the latest Resident Evil film.
Note* This post contains spoilers from Resident evil: The final chapter.

Okay let’s first get a quick run down of the franchise explained by Milla Jovovich.

 

Now lets’s examine the plot holes in the Resident Evil franchises that have popped up because of this final movie.

The T-virus was made by Dr. Charles Ashford for his daughter Angela Ashford. Angie possessed the same degenerative condition as her father, Angela was eventually going to spend the remainder of her life in a wheelchair. Her father prevented this by developing the t-Virus. While in almost all cases of humans infected with the virus, suffering uncontrollable mutation, the reanimation of dead cells that the t-Virus caused was enough to allow Angela to regenerate her limbs and walk again if kept in check with injections of an anti-virus. This was the established story in the second movie Resident Evil Apocalypse. In Resident Evil the final chapter this is completely erased. With no explanation at all. Now the virus is made by James Marcus for his daughter
Alicia Marcus, who had progeria, a deadly disease that caused Alicia to prematurely age at an accelerated rate. Alice is a clone of Alicia.
Now it could be possible that Dr. Ashford and Dr. Marcus developed it to getter for both their daughters, but that is never explained.

In The final chapter it is revealed that Umbrella released the T- virus, but in the first movie it was said that Spence an Umbrella employee in a romantic relationship with Alice released the virus to sell then the ant-virus on the black market. Umbrella seemed not to know about that and tried to contain the virus.
It is possible that this was done on purpose. Alice was a clone created to act as a guard for the mansion, its possible Spence was also a clone as well, especially since Umbrella has been shown to use clones for security tasks. Also pointing to this is that Doctor Alexander Isaacs wished for the T-virus to be released to create an apocalypse and so may have planted Spence programed for this very purpose. And the containment part has been just a distraction for the public.

The red queen can not harm umbrella employees, according to The final chapter. But in the first movie and Retribution she harmed Umbrella employees.
This could be explained that it maybe has to do with certain Umbrella employees.

All these plot holes could be explained, but they are not. That is quite a shame it could help making the movie feel like a hole. I really like the Resident Evil movies and the games. I I just wish that they had taken a more critical look at the storyline coherent.

So here are some tips to find your plot holes and fix them:

1. Know your story well
2. Examine your plot
3. Character checklist
4. Know the laws of your story’s world.
5. Utilize beta-readers.

Remember every story will have faults. No writer is perfect.

The Werewolf of Bedburg

Prologue 

I feel my muscles scream as the change begins. My pain will be nothing, compared to hers.
Her scent fills my nostrils, I start to tremble, my blood is boiling, her taste, I can’t wait.
I first saw her yesterday, in my human form, her scent sets me off, an emotional storm is set loose in me. I want to love her, feel her, touch her. But the wolf in me only sees her as prey and wants to rip her apart. Her sweet flesh and blood, the hunger and thirst in me grows stronger.
I kill with a throat bite, to silence her screams I could decapitate her, in my powerful jaws.
My human side in me is losing the battle to natures laws the transformation is almost complete.
A person, a monster, a wolf, but also a man. Love her or devour her, kill her or make her on off my own The wolf growls disdain, at my human side. Death is all it desires.
Closer she comes, hiking through the dark forest Secretions of woman scent, carried on the breeze.
Inflamed with passion and hunger, in both man and beast, I see her now, as the wolf readies to feast.
The sight, the smell, I am losing all control, A blood lust unfolds.
Closer, closer, closer… no chance now to flee, the smell of her femaleness, drives me insane.
Are these my thoughts or the wolf? I am trembling, from both pleasure and pain. She sees me, she’s running, like she can escape, time for the kill. I bite into her warm flesh, the smell, the taste, the sight.
Fear overwhelms her, she passes out from the pain and blood loss.
Lustful yearnings still boiling, in me. Death, blood, hunger. Yes, this is defiantly the wolf talking.
And when I wake up I will no longer remember what I have done and the woman will be dead or became another of my sins. I am a monster, forever to be cursed That is just how nature works.

-The werewolf of Bedburg on natures laws

This is the story of a monster that terrorized a German village for years with unspeakably cruel crimes and murders. In the late 16th century the town of Bedburg, Germany was terrorized by a diabolical creature that slaughtered its cattle and snatched away its women and children, killing them with unspeakable morbidity. The shocked and horrified townspeople feared that they were being victimized by a raving, bloodthirsty werewolf who lived among them. This is the story of Peter Stubbe, the werewolf of Bedburg whose crimes plunged a German town into an unimaginable bloody nightmare that no one could escape but what is the truth? What really happened? Was he a monster? Or was he set up for a greater cost.
It wasn’t easy being a farmer in 16th-century Germany. It was hard enough just to get anything to grow in a time before pest control and fertilizers. Then there was the constant threat of roving brigands who had no qualms about stealing your livestock or burning your crops and the religious war between the Protestantism and the Roman Catholics was raining on. But for farmer Peter Stubbe, life was even tougher. He had just become a widow and was left with 2 children, a son and a daughter take care of. His wife had died suddenly, he was broken by this. He loved his wife she was his support and strength. His neighbours and friends supported him through the harsh times, but they also could see he was a broken man. His daughter did everything to cheer him up and his son tried not to bother him as much. Being a father was all ready hard for Peter but the fact that his fellow farmers from the village were pushing him to re-marry did not really help. All he wanted was to be left alone, but he knew that he could not live forever like this. Some people said that this was the turning point for Stubbe that this was the moment he became a monster. Others say he was always a monster from the moment he was born and that he had killed his own wife. That he had sold his soul to the devil to become a raging monster, a demon, a hungry wolf ready to kill anybody how was unlucky enough to cross his path.
A man without a soul, a man bound to kill and stalk the defenceless and the weak. They say only one creature kills out of pure pleasure and that is the werewolf. They are raving monsters with a never ending trust for tearing everything to pieces.
The truth is, if a werewolf behaves like a monster, a murdering psychopath it wouldn’t be because it is a beast, but because there is still a part human in his left, because only humans kill for sport.
Nonetheless a wolf does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep. Maybe people are just monsters who can tell. Even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfs bane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.

“We don’t have the time.” Tomas answered. “It is now or never.”

Childe Roland to The Dark Tower came

The Dark Tower is a book series written by Stephen King, which incorporates themes from multiple genres, including dark fantasy, science fantasy, horror, and Western. It describes a “gunslinger” and his quest toward a tower, the nature of which is both physical and metaphorical. King has described the series as his magnum opus. In addition to the eight novels of the series proper that comprise 4,250 pages, many of King’s other books relate to the story, introducing concepts and characters that come into play as the series progresses. It is said that all Stephen King’s stories are related to The Dark Tower series.
The series is inspired by the poem “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came” by Robert Browning, whose full text was included in the final volume’s appendix. It also identifies with The Lord of the Rings, Arthurian Legend, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. He identifies Clint Eastwood’s “Man with No Name” character as one of the major inspirations for the protagonist, Roland Deschain. King’s style of location names in the series, such as Mid-World, and his development of a unique language abstract to our own (High Speech), are also influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien’s work. The Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole; published in 2012, served as an interquel between the fourth and fifth books of the series.

The story is about, Roland Deschain the last living member of a knightly order known as gunslingers and the last of the line of “Arthur Eld”, his world’s analogue of King Arthur. Roland’s quest is to find the Dark Tower, a fabled building said to be the nexus of all universes. Roland’s world is said to have “moved on”, and it appears to be coming apart at the seams. Mighty nations have been torn apart by war, entire cities and regions vanish without a trace and time does not flow in an orderly fashion. Sometimes, even the sun rises in the north and sets in the east. As the series opens, Roland’s motives, goals and age are unclear, though later installments shed light on these mysteries.

So why do I love this series so much?
Well, that is easy, First of all I personally think Stephen King is a master writer. His stories are always intriguing and compelling, like a story should be.
Second, I love fantasy, science fiction and horror and The Dark Tower gives me all that.
Of course the story was well written, interesting, original and a real adventure that sucks you right into the world of Roland Deschain, but what was most extraordinary about the story for me was that when I finished the story I felt it the story slip away from my mind like it became a dream or a vague memory.
If you have read the story you get what I mean about that.
The last thing I can say is that if you have not read this amazing series, you should. Like right now! It is worth your time.

The Dark Tower

“The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.”
― Stephen King, The Gunslinger
My next update will be about my favorite book series and my favorite author, you guested it Stephen King. The Book series I am talking about is The Dark Tower. This is one the most compelling stories I have ever read by Stephen King. It is described as his magnum opus ( Latin meaning “great work”) and is perhaps his greatest, achievement as a writer.

Current work in progress: TWOB

Currently I am working on a story called The werewolf of Bedburg the damnable life and death of Peter Stubbe. This is the summery:

In the late 16th century the town of Bedburg, Germany was terrorized by a diabolical creature that slaughtered its cattle and snatched away its women and children, killing them with unspeakable morbidity. The shocked and horrified townspeople feared that they were being victimized by a raving, bloodthirsty werewolf who lived among them. This is the story of Peter Stubbe the werewolf of Bedburg, a man that sold his soul for lust and power. But is this the truth?

Totally the music I listen to when i am writing for this story.
