The Source of Conflict in Writing

What makes for good conflict in a story? How can stories (particularly those that do have fighting) make their conflict more impactful and build tension before the fight even starts?
Footage and Images From:
- Cast Away
- Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow
- Fight Club
- Avengers: Age of Ultron
- Avatar: The Last Airbender (movie, live-action series, and original series)
- Avatar (James Cameron)
- The Disastrous Life of Saiki K
- Everybody Loves Raymond
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
- Arcane
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2
- Resident Evil
- Death Note
- Captain Marvel

If an analysis includes both Fullmetal Alchemist and Everybody Loves Raymond, you know you've got something cooking here. Glad the algorithm brought me to these shores.

Great video on conflict, i feel too often people fail to realize the great narrative weight two people talking can have. As well as the tension that can build in such a scene. I say as someone who struggles to write dialogue myself.

Ah yes, Show Tucker, the fastest turn to villainy I've ever seen. I turn away one moment and he turns into the most deplorable character in all of fiction🤦. Anywaay, I really appreciate this breakdown on non violent conflict. I've always thought that internal and verbal struggles really can pack a greater hit than the physical struggles.
