>Imagine needing a warm-up and bothering about the characters "motivations" when you can simply decide what's the cooler action they can take anytime.
Y'know, there's something to be said for pulp writing. Due to how simple it is things are harder to fuck up and it's much faster to write. Just making the hero a driven, intelligent and strong man who is good at fighting, giving him a companion that is more normal and can make the comments the heroic leading man can't and then tagging the villain with some gimmick like being fat, only having one leg or whatever is a formula that works. The hero is thrown headfirst into a heap of trouble that he doesn't want any part of as close to page one as possible and at the end he has given the villain an atomic wedgie and fucked his daughter. I wouldn't recommend simply writing what you find cool beyond simple structures like that though, then you might end up as Rothfuss.
