What is bad writing?

article image placeholderUploaded by @Jsmith613
It's, what's going on? Swellers. So for a lot of my past couple posts, I've talked about bad writing in some way or another. And I've never really sat down and thought about what that meant. And so I figured that's what I'd do today. So I think bad writing, the definition of it kind of varies per person to person

Take any teenage Netflix Original Movie. Netflix Originals are huge for bad writing. Just very surface level, very leaning so much on cliches and characters with very little complexity, I think that can be so hard to stomach. And yeah, I don't know. And there are cases where what you said about 13 reasons why, which I haven't seen, where it can work. I think to kind of show a character from a different perspective, from a different angle

And, yeah, that's something that I've seen a lot of works do recently. And then the part about not having any ambition while you're writing. I feel like with Marvel movies recently, probably just superhero stuff in general. It really feels like there's no passion behind those because, god, I don't even know how many have been pumped out over the past couple of years

And it got to the point where the final season was so poorly received that you had a lot of diehard fans, people like myself, sort of writing the series off a series of I think it was like nine seasons. I just think that effective showrunning is not something that you can sort of just slap together. It's not like a choose your own ending goosebumps story which not to knock those at all, there's a lot of effort put into those by the author
