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.

My wife and I have been watching Lost (rewatch for me) and it’s great stuff but literally most episodes would be fixed through a conversation. At least the show acknowledges this from time-to-time and the characters use knowledge as leverage a lot shrug. If it wasn’t dramatic, a lot less people would watch

I think part of it is I can handle it in like that scenario. They are strangers. A lot are dicks. There are cultural things. Etc. But like literally best friends asked a direct question and their like. Nah. Not gonna tell em. gonna hide it. because??? reasons I guess. Just some are way worse than others.
