For the same reason that most Hollywood movies have incredible VFX and plots that are nonsense.
Writing is HARD. It's one of the hardest things you can do, and being exceptional at it is rare, and even when you do it well people might not notice.
Whereas spectacle is relatively easy.
- bluefirebrand 4y agoI don't think writing is that hard, or at least, crafting a good story with good characters should be well within the skills of people hired to be writers professionally. I think there are a couple of problems around writing as a profession though. Foremost are executive meddling and focus grouping, which are both going to soften your writing to try and appeal to larger audiences. Also there's an issue with writers being hired in teams on a single project, which absolutely prevents any kind of singular vision for a project from forming.
