Character Want - Story Analysis

Saying the theme of your story is "hope" or "love" or "friendship" "etc" or this that and the other and inserting, rewriting scenes to reflect this has the same NEGATIVE EFFECT

As the writer who says "I want to have a scene where the main character runs into a burning building, it explodes, he walks out all badass, then there is a car chase, then the girl he wants fucks him. etc" and inserts, rewrites scenes to reflect that.

Whenever you write outside of following a characters want, and how it reflects and deflects other character's wants, the story will suffer.
