    I totally get what you mean. I wonder wheter writing a decent plot/characters/dialogues is really that impossible or whether there’s some other issues at play.

    I mean, book authors routinely manage to do pretty good writing, why can’t we have that for film as well?

      You really can’t compare the two mediums. What works in books most likely doesn’t work in movies. Like trying to do a setup like in a book would bore the shit out of everyone if it was done the same way in a movie. You and I might be interested in that long setup, but the GA definitely doesn’t give a shit.

      There’s a reason why Disney Marvel movies insist on making a joke every 5 minutes in their movies.

      Try watching movies/shows from around the world, you’ll be amazed. I gave up on USA shows some time ago and never looked back.

        That is true. The issue is only that it’s mostly hard to find these movies. It’s much harder finding movies from my own country than US movies.

        Shows in the US aren’t the problem, it’s just the most mainstream ones are the issue. There’s plenty of less popular USA shows that have phenomenal stories.
