mr magorium's opera emporium

feels like it’ll be just a mess + now a team doesn’t need to have over 50% of points to win, which just feels like it’ll be an Ordeal. also how will scoring work. it’s so…

but what ALSO gets me is the tragedy-comedy duo aren’t actually genres of theatre they’re the two categories of traditional greek theatre, which became adopted as a sort of general system through western theatre history. a Genre would be, like, “pastoral comedy” while comedy is a catch all and vice versa for tragedy. you of course Had theatre that messed with these two boundaries pretty much always (romeo and juliet for example starts as obviously utilizing comedy tropes and then turns around halfway in) but they aren’t genres!

mystery Is a genre! it has its own framework on a level comedy and tragedy don’t unless you’re going back to bacchanalia land or what have you! thats a third thing! it’s like if you went “this is day vs night vs ‘Kind of weather where it’s flurrying but also kind of raining’” That’s a whole different thing!!! That could in and of itself fall under either super category!!!!
