So You Want To/Write a Conspiracy Theory: Difference between revisions

The investigation is the centerpiece of a [[Conspiracy Thriller]], much like in the [[File talk:Mystery Fiction]], although it may at times be overshadowed by more pressing concerns ([[Fight Scene|fights]], [[Chase Scene|chases]], etc.). It spans for almost the entire duration of the story and usually beings with a [[Call to Adventure|single motivating event]] (see above) and reaches its apogee when the protagonist discovers the true nature of the conspiracy. The latter event often involves infiltrating an [[Elaborate Underground Base|important location]] and discovering a [[Great Big Book of Everything|crucial document]] or [[Oracular Urchin|omniscient character]] who reveals everything else. The final stages of the investigation usually concern the [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|location]] and/or [[Villain with Good Publicity|identity]] of the [[Final Boss|final enemy]], against whom the [[Final Battle]] is fought.
