Fan Casting Chekhov's Gun

Role added by keanulover96 on September 28, 2023

Description of Chekhov's Gun:

The term has come to mean an insignificant object that later turns out to be important. For example, a character may find a mysterious necklace that turns out to be the power source to the Doomsday Device, but at the time of finding the object, it doesn't seem important. The necklace was essential to the story, but its introduction downplayed its importance. Chekhov's advice wasn't necessarily to conceal importance, but to just not spend time on things that aren't important.
