In Love Hina Christmas Special: Silent Eve, Su and Sara find Naru's letter to Kintaro and only bother to read one word in the middle of the page (love) before jumping to conclusions, setting off the whole plot.Not to be confused with Slow-Paced Beginning, when the audience stops following a story too soon. Related to Out-of-Context Eavesdropping.Ĭompare and contrast Prophetic Fallacy, Lost in Transmission, Conveniently Interrupted Document, Plot-Based Photograph Obfuscation and Plot-Based Voice Cancellation for when it's not the fault of the reader/watcher/listener, but rather the document/transmitter itself. See also Read the Fine Print and Read the Freaking Manual. Ooh, Shiny! characters are prone to this. This can also apply to audio or video recordings, and communication transmissions (i.e over the phone, or with a Voice with an Internet Connection).Īttention Deficit.
May lead to Dramatic Irony (as the audience often gets to see the rest of the info), Cue Card Pause, and Worse with Context (or Better With Context). Often justified in fiction by the writer of the message using poor syntax, Wall of Text, or "burying the lede" so that the most important information is on the next page. They'll fasten on the part of the message they saw first, and act upon it, not realizing that there is more important information in the rest.
However, not everyone has the patience to finish reading. Often, a written/typed message only makes sense if it is read all the way through.
