Line 2:
Every good story needs [[Conflict]], that's axiomatic. But to simply have [[The Protagonist]] fight [[The Antagonist]] would not suffice. To provide the tension necessary to drive the audience from the [[Inciting Incident|opening]] to [[Denouement|the end of the story]], the author must increase the [[Conflict]] gradually over the course of the story. This is '''Rising Conflict'''.
Seeing as how it is almost mandatory that the confrontation between protagonist and antagonist not happen until [[The Climax]], the story has to rely on lesser sources of antagonism in the meantime: fights with [[mooks]], [[Mini Boss
But not all movies have classic villains, and as such the protagonist may simply be struggling against mounting complications and obstacles that get between them and their goal. Hence this trope is also frequently called [[Rising Complications]] or [[Rising Action]], putting the emphasis on the protagonist's struggle instead of some clash between good and evil.
