Most stories take a while to build up, as they first introduce you to the characters, the world, and the theme, giving them time to develop in your mind before things start to change and become exciting.Of course, this means that beginnings are often boring. It's been said that if you miss the first 15 minutes of a movie, you're not missing anything, as the plot doesn't pick up until later anyway. Many writers are aware of this, and their way of dealing with it is sometimes to do an Action Prologue.An Action Prologue starts off with something exciting happening immediately. Right at the beginning, the hero is sneaking around an enemy base, being menaced by a threat, or something similarly exciting.
In some cases this is. The event may be a minor one, but. It could be a dream sequence, where the hero sees something threatening that later shows up for real.
It could be the for our badass. Or it could be something completely unrelated to the main plot at all, used only to make sure that something exciting happens right at the start. In any case, the action quickly falls right after the Action Prologue, and then those usual first 15 minutes used to flesh out the story and introduce the characters show up. Often overlaps with when it shows off an action-packed scene from the end of the story before jumping to an earlier point in time to explain how the characters ended up in that scenario.

Creepy girl with? Then we cut to the catchy opening. In the manga however, the intro is mellow, and shows how Sumire became the way she is. is a extreme example: it starts with a two and 2/3 volumes of story to establish the setting and then has a twelve volume flashback before reaching the point of time when it started. The anime follows suit with its first episode (basically a shortened version of the first chapter without Puck), then. Not exactly action, but 's anime adaptation opens with watching a half-obscured silhouette beating someone to death with a blunt instrument.

starts with Tisala on a torture bench, maybe about to spill some secrets. She kills the torturer, steals his coat and escapes.
Later on, she's found by the main character Ward, in ill-fitting clothes, and after taking out some bandits. The book series does this at least in the first two books (I haven't read the third yet). The very first chapter is of something scary happening and threatening the lead hero, Max, and his brush with death. It is then, in both cases, revealed to be a dream in the immediately following chapter. All of the books start with an action totally unrelated to the story most of the book is dealing with.

Then the focus of the next chapters shifts into another kingdom. begins with a dramatic chapter as the characters' balloon gets caught in a horrific storm and they barely survive. Their names aren't even revealed until the next chapter. opens with Cheris leading her troops into a ground battle against the heretics. A few of.

Many entries in the series open like this, with the character having access to weapons, skills and life meter that are lost at the end of the level and then laboriously reclaimed over the course of the game., which could rightfully be called a massive to 60s and 70s spy movies, pulls an exceptionally well executed one, though it takes up to an hour. You overpower the guards, get the captured scientist, and make it back to the extraction point where Snake gets betrayed, thrown of a bridge, and as he pulls himself out of a river, the enemies detonate a nuke some miles in the distance.
And as the explosion fades, you get the extremely bond-like. starts with Heather in a spooky amusement park, armed with very little in the way of weapons, and wondering where she is. If you either die or reach the end (which results in her dying in a cutscene), she wakes up and realizes it's just a dream.
Much later in the game, you go to that very same amusement park for real. starts with Monkey, the main character, imprisoned on a slave ship, then breaking out and fighting his way through the to escape.
Some of the games. Actually started you right in the first level, without giving you a menu or anything like it before. also did this. And, which also included several missions in the time space between the film's prologue and the present-day story. starts with Joanna's very first mission as Carrington Institute agent. Also its prequel started with a mission, but it's revealed it was a being just a simulation.
The series typically starts out by, as put it, 'throwing you into the middle of a pitched battle just in case you thought you might be playing something with a modicum of restraint.' .:. The very first begins with the Heroes of Light tasked with rescuing the Princess of Cornelia from the dreaded Garland. The title screen for the game doesn't appear until after Garland has been laid low. begins with a.

At this point, only is under your direct control, sporting the most basic job class and abilities, but it gives you a preview of several more powerful attacks and classes that you won't actually gain control of yourself until much later. The prologue of starts at ending of the previous game,: the player isn't even controlling Alucard at that point, but Richter Belmont. opens with the hero escaping from a mine in dragon form. The dragon's stats are such that you cannot lose the battles in this sequence.
An example of Action Prologue involving the main villain and not the hero: Sarevok beating the crap out of an anonymous warrior and then throwing him from the top of a tower in. The game as well as giving your character, then after the title appears,. Almost the same thing happens in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. begins with our antiheroine and Jeanne in their flashback garb fighting angels on the face of a falling clock. It might be a clever symbol for a compressed backstory narration, but it's hard to tell when the actual game is so trippy. Despite the game's reputation for putting some of the most spectacular fights in cutscenes, it's fully playable, with no control guidance for first-time players, but also no way to lose.
Then, there's a whole prologue chapter, filled with control tutorials and some minor exposition. Then there's an expository cutscene and an Indy-style travel montage. Then the opening tiles play as 'netta struts off the train in Vigrid.

Nate then have to defend their exposed position when the boat broke down.
Nightfall throws the character into a corsair battle for its first quests and mission, before the 'training' sequences more common in other MMO's (and other Guild Wars chapters). Parodied in the comic 'A Fate Worse than Chess' with. begins with Pitfall Harry fighting for his life against a demonic fiery jaguar while supercharged with powerful magic. After he exchanges a few blows with the beast, it pins him to the ground, and Harry has a flashback to how he got into this mess in the first place which makes up most of the rest of the game. begins with Lara escaping her burning mansion, then skips ahead four days.
begins with a siege on a bell tower against a giant spider. The Oracle, Tieve, wants to talk to the spider and find out why it's so frightened, so a group of soldiers, including you, are assigned to escort her to the top. Everyone is promptly ambushed by Gnolls after the leader of the soldiers finds a Fomorian Emblem, and everyone except you and Tieve are wounded or killed. The game then gives you control of your character and walks you through the combat system as you kill your way through the Gnolls and escort Tieve to the top of the tower, where you have to fight the spider as ballista spears rain down on the roof.
The latter three games each have one of these. has the Boss escaping from jail, having spent the past five years — from the boat explosion at the end of the first game to the present — in a coma. has the Boss, Shaundi, Johnny Gat and Josh Birk performing a botched bank robbery.

He is then killed, and the action switches to the actual player character, where the real part begins. Done extremely well on the video games, as the prologues are there not just to state how the fight elements are there, but also to tell most of the backstory and certain background elements. The prologue of thrusts you into a dangerous, action-packed mission of boarding and fighting your way through an enemy ship. This is done with only a cursory introduction to the characters, and it's not really clear what's going on until the end of the prologue.
The DS and PS1 versions of add a prologue chapter in which you play as the hero for a short while as you look around for Eliza. opens with a premonition to Chrom and the fighting against Validar. opens with a dream in which the, alongside their Hoshidan siblings, drive off Nohrian invaders. starts off in the middle of a small, routine, military operation that goes painfully awry.

's prologue is set in the 1600's wherein Charby escapes from a pirate ship, has his throat torn out by a sadistic vampire, returns as a vampire himself, kills a giant bear and returns to the pirate ship to slaughter his lifelong tormentors. The story then jumps forward over 300 years to 1994 to start the actual tale of the comic. starts like this, where A and Shikamaru are being chased by monsters. 's arcs start this way, but they're so confusing they're pretty much prologues.
For example, the latest arc began with a Pibgorn messing around with dewdrops in a meadow, with the panels interrupted by a giant rack-focused number 8 on a plain white background out of nowhere. It then switched to short-haired Pibgorn and Drucilla talking on a glacier (Rapunzel-Hair Pib is a flashback). Pib suddenly fainted then attacked Drucilla who fought back, and then the giant 8 explodes in a shower of Photoshop brushes.
begins with a, continues by showing the United States descending into a second Civil War, and then caps off the prologue with through the eyes of the comic's resident. It then jumps 17 years forward, where the plot begins. In, and both begin with action — luring the cave monsters, and fighting bullywogs respectively. The first doesn't reappear until the end of the level. The second is a clue, but the bullywogs don't reappear. The story arc 'Phoenix Rising' (well, the Oasis half of it, anyway) begins right away with Oasis fighting a group of convenience store robbers.
Things then quiet down for a while, giving us time to know the characters, before the action starts up again when Nash Straw kills Lupae. starts with a few pages introducing characters,.
starts with the murder of Seven of Hearts at the hands of Five of Hearts (the motive of which becomes a central mystery throughout the comic). opens with a Bard sneaking into an Orc camp, then doubles back to a more normal introduction when she asks, 'what really happened?' . Ayla and the Birthday Brawl of the starts with the Vindicators fighting their way through a base to confront a supervillain. When they lose, it's revealed to be a holographic simulation that is part of their Team Tactics course.
