Noticing something whenever I write for myself. I'm not sure if it has an official or widely reconized term but I like to call it...
The "Ping-Pong" Effect:
ATLA dialogue often features characters interrupting each other or finishing sentences, but with a distinct rhythm where one character's line triggers a specific physical reaction in the other.
They also tend to deliever dialogue like a script beat. Not much room for pauses, very little stuttering or messing up their words. With the pacing of various dialogue scenes especially, I noticed that every character seems rather eager to say their line. Probably has something to do with fitting action, quieter moments and story beats into 20-ish minutes.
Look how much talking there is around the 1:25 and onwards mark.
Anyone else notice?
