Which movies would unfold nearly identically if the main character were to die within the first fifteen minutes?
That’s an interesting question! Here are a few movies that might fit that scenario:
Fight Club – The story revolves around the development of an underground fight club and the chaotic philosophy surrounding it. If the narrator died early on, the club and its influence could still unfold through other characters, particularly Tyler Durden.
The Dark Knight – The Joker’s plans and chaos in Gotham City would likely continue even if Batman was taken out early. The battle between good and evil would still play out through other characters trying to stop him.
The Matrix – If Neo were to die early, the focus could shift to Morpheus and Trinity as they continue to fight against the Matrix and search for a new “One.”
Scream – The plot of a masked killer stalking teenagers would likely proceed regardless of who the initial main character was, allowing for a similar slasher narrative.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – If Harry had died at the start, the story could still have been told through the perspectives of other characters like Hermione and Ron who would still be drawn into the battle against Voldemort.
In all these cases, while the main character’s journey is central, the supporting characters and overarching plots are strong enough to carry the story forward without them! What do you think? Any others come to mind?
