You can never leave out something essential to the story…
the plot twist.
the background.
the how it happened.
the why they care to fight.
However, when it is essential to the story, that inspired the story – but not this one in particular, it can be loosely referenced or even ignored. No blame on what was written, acted or produced. We may not even care if it is missing. That’s how inconsequential it is. Even though we may remember that it used to be important. We can forgive and move on.
