We are seriously in the dark ages of writing right now. It’s not that good books, movies and tv shows aren’t being made, but most of the top tier a list stuff is just astoundingly awful and amateurish. It’s like these industries are trying to make hot garbage now and only occasionally goof up and accidentally end up with a good story.

The problem's that all these big franchise movies can be terrible but still set new ticket sales records. Audiences aren't showing up to watch the new JJ Abrams or Rian Johnson movie, they're showing up to see the new Star Wars movie. Even if it gets bad reviews everybody still wants to see what happens next with Luke and the gang. Then movie pulls in record ticket sales and the studio execs think that means it's a success so they reward the same writers and directors with more movie contracts.
