I know this is really a rhetorical question but imagine just being able pay more for better writing.
(The writing sucks because this is a commercial project first and foremost)
- klipt 4y ago> imagine just being able pay more for better writing. Is it that difficult? What if you ran a contest to write the best script, winner gets a million dollars and top billing in the credits? Seems there should be plenty of college students who can write better than e.g. last season of Game of Thrones.
- scotty79 4y agoYou'd need someone to judge the contest so you have the same problem that people with large budgets in modern film making completely lost the ability to tell if a script is very, very not good.
- smoldesu 4y agoPart of the problem (as I understand it) is that this series is being directed by first-time showrunners. Amazon took a big gamble, and I would not be surprised if some of these cinematic/writing failures are the result of that.
