Each useful turn affects both the immediate danger and our understanding of the people facing it.
Mythos: Fantastic Four (2007) 1 finds useful drama in the contrast between public confidence and private uncertainty.

The script keeps returning to choices and consequences instead of allowing explanation to replace drama.
