A "Masterpiece" of "wouldn't it be cool if..." writing


No motivation, no plot, no coherent backstory, no real reason for characters to do anything or for anything in particular to happen, just "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if..." This is apparently what passes for "good" writing for all TV shows and moves these days.

Anyone who thinks The Acolyte is remotely representative of modern TV is not paying anywhere near enough attention.

reply

Unfortunately it is.

This, Rings of Power, She-Hulk, Ahsoka, Mandalorian Season 3, fuck, anything Star Wars in the last few years, all total crap and pretty much what the OP is saying.

reply

All of those shows are Disney, except the Rings of Power.

Do you think Disney writes and produces almost every single modern TV show?

reply

Wheel of Time, The Witcher, I could go on.

reply

Succession, Better Call Saul, Severance, Warrior, House of the Dragon, The Bear, Fallout, Andor, Shogun, Beef, Silo, Black Bird, Dopesick, Slow Horses, Gangs of London, Dark Matter, Dark

reply

Don't forget that you used the word "remotely".

reply

Yes, the MCU/Star Wars don't come anywhere to close to characterising the modern media climate. I could name many more shows than what I just referenced above.

reply

LOL.

Please explain this lack of motivation please?

Also this "no coherent backstory" as well please... Just for fun.

🙄

Eat it. It's garbage. No mention of "woke", no mention of "sexism" or "misogyny", no mention of "racism". It's a terrible show and should be burned and deleted from history.

The neutral non-shill critics with no political agenda are reviewing the Trasholyte now and it's being ripped apart.
