There is a specific kind of narrative fatigue that sets in when a story stops flowing and starts forcing. It happens in the quiet moments, or perhaps the loudly scored ones, where the audience realizes that what they are watching is no longer a story organic to the characters, but a blueprint imposed upon them.

When test audiences watch a movie, they frequently complain that a character "deserves" a relationship, or that the ending is "too lonely." Studio executives panic and order reshoots to add a kiss or a final scene of domestic bliss. This creates the "tacked-on romance"—a five-minute sequence that feels like it belongs to a different film.
