Is this the worst generation of writers?

[Crayo]

Nope. Writing standards hasn't increased or decreased; society has just moved on and needs to be catered to in different ways. It's fascinating how much society has changed even in the last ten years.

There are tons of writers out there putting out great movies & television.

I just think the WWE writers are lazy. Theres no right here is where we are, heres where we want to get. Then joining the dots inbetween, they should know where the stories are going months in advance like say Joss Whedon does writing a tv show. Obviously things change due to injuries but this should still be able to be worked round. A monkey could point at balls with ideas on and the storylines would still be better. Rhodes Scholars is still annoying me they split them up then oh crap what to do now oh just put em back together no one will notice. Ffs.

As for writing regards film and tv. I find it similar to music that some stuff garnered for mainstream attention is basic and poor, so you have to search sometimes for the great stuff. Money is the biggest part in this as repetitive mainstream things sell fast and furious 50, halloween remakes etc all get the money through the tills. Whereas more thought out interesting titles dont always drawer the money so we dont see them unless we search. There is brilliance out there.

I agree that most things on TV are ubershite...but one thing that has really improved in the past 6 months is The Simpsons. Over 20+ years and they are still funny, interesting and topical!
