Editing Talk:657: Movie Narrative Charts

...but in 12 Angry Men, at two points, some of the jurors leave to -- and have conversations in -- the bathroom! {{unsigned ip|‎193.25.222.71}}

Luke went to Endor, right?[[Special:Contributions/108.162.210.172|108.162.210.172]]

Why is this not part of the explaination? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Minard.png

It is public domain so it should be allowed right? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.117|108.162.246.117]] 03:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)


I added it to the explaination as it certainly adds to the understadning of the comic. It was already uploaded by someone else. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.117|108.162.246.117]] 03:50, 10 March 2014 (UTC)


I am not sure if this should be included, but it is a nice piece of trivia anyway: Randall seems to have inspired a whole field of research in digital humanities with this strip. There are now multiple papers on "storyline visualizations" that reference this comic, using the concept for visualizations of storylines, politic events and other stuff. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-50106-2_30


Only flaw is that Saruman died at the wrong time. [[User:LordSamanon|LordSamanon]] ([[User talk:LordSamanon|talk]]) 02:03, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Second flaw is that Sam is going to west, too {{unsigned ip|141.101.99.80}}

: But much later, as does Legolas together with Gimli. Both Aragorn and Arwen's deaths are also in the last book but not shown here. All these events just happen way after the main story and are thus not included in the chart. Btw., Wormtongue also only dies later, around the time Saruman actually dies (in fact, he's the one who murdered Saruman).

Third flaw is that in 12 Angry Men, Juror 8 interacts with Juror 9 at the very end.{{unsigned ip|108.162.215.56}}

I figured it would be of interest of the people here that I have gone through the afford of making one of these as well. It took me a few hours, but I am quite proud of the final image. It's definitely not perfect, though, and I am sure it could be done much better (especially if Randall himself would do it ;)). Either way, here is a movie narrative chart for the first ''Pokémon'' film, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', something I grew up with and felt worked pretty well in this form: http://maplestrip.tumblr.com/image/123162717416 [[User:Maplestrip|Maplestrip]] ([[User talk:Maplestrip|talk]]) 18:58, 4 July 2015 (UTC)


I doubt that it's really worth including in the explanation or anything, but it would seem that Grant's and Sattler's lines get swapped by the first time their names are reiterated. --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.242.134|108.162.242.134]] 13:18, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

: You're right! Perhaps this could be also mentioned in a "mistakes" / trivia section, as the flaws above. --[[User:LaVe|LaVe]] ([[User talk:LaVe|talk]]) 13:59, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

For me it is SO weird that this is today's Incomplete Explanation. Yesterday on Facebook, I had a Memory that I shared this 1 year ago today (so, 1 year ago yesterday). :) - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/162.158.126.76|162.158.126.76]] 04:31, 4 January 2017 (UTC) I finally signed up!

I added some transcript. I didn't manage to use different colors in the transcript, so I added the HEX-Codes directly in the text. I'm not mother-tongued so please correct if you find mistakes. --[[User:LaVe|LaVe]] ([[User talk:LaVe|talk]]) 12:30, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
:Cool with the transcript. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 18:20, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
::Hey [[User:Kynde|Kynde]], we've talked about transcripts. Someone reading the text should understand the picture; not each pixel. I've also talked to [[User:LaVe|LaVe]] and I promised that I will work on this soon. Stay tuned...--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:47, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

I added to the star wars section. Not to familiar with Jurassic Park so an someone add to that and complete the transcript so this comic is complete?[[User:Dontknow|Dontknow]] ([[User talk:Dontknow|talk]]) 23:31, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

i clicked on the incomplete explanation in the spotlight link to see if i could fix it
...
some comics will not and should not ever be fully explained [[Special:Contributions/108.162.226.101|108.162.226.101]] 04:10, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

HOW is this still not complete, it looks pretty good to me. Just want more opinions.[[User:Dontknow|Dontknow]] ([[User talk:Dontknow|talk]]) 19:42, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

:It certainly wants a much better discussion of ''Napoleon's March'' which is hard to do without the image. I asked on the noticeboard for someone to upload it ([[Admin_requests#Minard.27s_map_for_657]])...Or I guess i could artificially up my post-count and then wait a week...

::The explanation of the Minard map on the linked page seems adequate. Not every piece of information needs to be in this wiki.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.136|108.162.245.136]] 03:19, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
:::I would disagree. Most people don't follow links. I would say that the Minard map is absolutely essential to understanding this comic. All of the images in the comic are based on the Minard map, and if you haven't seen the Minard map, you haven't understood the comic. Reasonably people can disagree on that, of course, but I think it unquestionably passes the "relevance" test that you mention ("Not every piece of information needs to be in this wiki"). An appropriate contextual explanation needs to be written. That's on my todo list after the image is working, which it is not right now.

::Nice work on the pic, I moved it so that the text is above the picture. It makes more sense for readers to read the text for background knowledge and then see the pic.[[User:Dontknow|Dontknow]] ([[User talk:Dontknow|talk]]) 20:11, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
:::At the risk of excessive navel-gazing, I wonder if we're better off putting it on the right with the text accompanying it on the left. Also maybe shrinking it a bit more. I dunno... [[User:JohnHawkinson|JohnHawkinson]] ([[User talk:JohnHawkinson|talk]]) 03:07, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
:::: There are many comics where there is a pic in the middle,see [[1282: Monty Hall]] just need a little more opinion. [[User:Dontknow|Dontknow]] ([[User talk:Dontknow|talk]]) 23:10, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
