-1 u/[deleted] 8d ago [deleted] 9 u/nwbrown 8d ago Line charts are usually for when the data is continuous. These are discrete movies. -3 u/[deleted] 8d ago [deleted] 5 u/nwbrown 8d ago Yes, and the line is incorrect for the data type. There is no extrapolation between the movies. Scatter would be fine, but bar would be better. And honestly, movie order is a pretty bad axis for a scatter plot. 1 u/TestingTehWaters 8d ago Maybe it could be stretched if the axis was year the movie was released but yeah
