Woke Hollywood on STRIKE During its Apocalypse

Holy shit, pleeeease let the actors and directors also go on strike. The only way to fix Hollywood at this point is a complete collapse followed by a reconstruction period led by actual creatives instead of activists.

I think it is generational myself. I doubt that today's writers are avid book readers like alot of the writers in the 1980s and 90s. I'm sure their are some great writers out there,but not as many as the quality writers in the past decades.

[@Member_zero]

@@brittscott4673 Could be. Personaly I think they are just the wrong writters for the job that focus on the wrong things. They were hired by people who dosn't have their priorities straight. If you're a writer, and your boss orders you to write garbage, no matter how hard working you are, or how talanted you are, the result will be garbage. Ofc people are going to point to the writers - but I would argue, the bigger fault lies in people hiring those writers. Maybe some of them shouldn't be writing a movie script for Star Wars. Maybe they would be better if they would put their talent into other ventures. That's just the reality. And maybe, it's not just that the writing is bad - but the whole concept and premise recent Disney remakes and Star Wars sequels stand on is bad. And no writer in the world can save it. Persoanly, I would argue it's both. And these 2 problems feed one another. Because the premise is bad, good writers will go somewhere else, or will be unwilling to write a "woke" show for example. And because writers that are willing are bad, they work hard, yet aren't compensated for it, nor is their product any good. Which means any potential new writer will also want to stay away from the garbage.

[@serenedevil6798]

​@@brittscott4673 I thought being a writer would necessitate more than a modicum of education and exposure to different styles of writing beyond a community college level. That should at least afford them the ability to see that what they're writing is stupid and doesn't make sense, one would think. Also, the idea that someone enjoys writing and sees it as an artform yet hates reading is pretty funny.

Considering even a recent 'hit' like 'Wednesday' was basically saved by a 20 something actress who knew more about the main character than the writers did (and she still couldn't convince them that Wednesday having two love interests wasn't a Wednesday thing at all, and it turned out kinda cringe), and the writers for 'the Witcher' even went as far as to openly admit that they meant to deviate from the source material, I think it's safe to day that the writers need to lose badly on this strike. They've been too infiltrated by the Woke, and been handed the reigns to too many franchises that should simply print money, and managed to fail with them. The don't care what they ruin, as long as they get to inject their politics into it. They're not going to lose money if a project fails, the producers will. The writers will just cash their paychecks and go off to ruin something else. They need to have this power taken from them now.

Newspapers once had HUGE profits, even with lots of reporters and photographers and editors producing good product. Twenty years ago, the big owners saw their profits start slipping. Twenty to thirty percent profit margins dropped to ten or fifteen percent, a level many industries only have in wet dreams. That’s when the traditional owners started selling out to hedge funds which began to dismantle their properties. Today, Gannett content producers are going on strike, apparently not aware that they’re lucky to still have careers. Hollywood has gotten used to ridiculous profits and when they begin to be unsustainable, the studios will eventually be taken over by hedge funds who won’t hire woke millennials…they’ll fire four out of five employees. Many of those striking today will be back to working in food service.

I didn't become a writer to be rich or because of I have an agenda. I want to tell good stories and make people happy, and it breaks my heart how horrible some writers can be at their jobs and in their worldviews, and how many people worship the ground entertainers walk on. People are people in my eyes, and while I appreciate good entertainers (yourself included), I don't worship anybody. I'm just tired of it all, and I could really use a break through right about now.
