How to Tell Stories with a Three-Act Structure

If you want to start writing stories for comics, understanding the basic three-act structure is the ideal way to begin. Start by establishing key characters, their abilities, and the setting. Introduce an inciting incident to propel the story into conflict, where characters face both external and internal challenges. Build tension and excitement leading to a climax, then resolve the core conflict while leaving room for future developments. This timeless structure helps keep your story clear, engaging, and impactful.

What’s interesting about this is how it explains that all the conflict has to be expressed externally, I guess otherwise there’s nothing for you to draw?
But typically when men are in emotional turmoil, they express themselves externally by breaking stuff and taking action.
When women are having an emotional crisis they tend to turn inwards and do things like drink alcohol, numb out on watching TV, get depressed, etc.
It’s no wonder that women tend to find marvel comics insanely boring. They’re not relatable at all to women. 😆
Nobody says to themselves “hey maybe I didn’t do the right things in my life“ and then they beat up a bank robber. 😆
That’s the kind of crap that gives us people like Kyle Rittenhouse, walking around a site of civil unrest with a loaded weapon like he’s a superhero of some kind.
