Today’s entertainment has only two shades. There was once a bigger nuance, but now we live in a two -tone entertainment world.
If you want evidence, do not look for more than the third season Star Trek: Strange new worldsIn the area, these were the first four episodes of the season …
- 1 Episode: Darker and Edgier version Star Trek: Next generation “The best of the two worlds.
- Episode 2: Star Trek’s original series episodes, The Squire of Gothos Sillier and Campier version.
- 3. Episode: Dark and nervous standard zombie horror story.
- Episode 4: Sillier version Star Trek: Next generation Dixon Hill Holodeck episodes.
You may have read these descriptions and assumed that the problem is the lack of creativity, as all four episodes are essentially a re -understanding of ideas that we have already seen in Star Trek or other things. This is a problemBut there is even bigger: tone.
Each week the show wildly changes between one of the two extreme tones: either Horn Infants eat people from the inside, or have a musical number on the bridge. There is nothing between them.
The worst thing is that none of the tones are Der Star Trek, which used to be a serious, thoughtful show with a few light moments. It was that Every weekIn the area it wasn’t a horror show for one week and all the all -sore Snl The parody of itself is the next (something actually happens in season 4).
There was once this middle ground, and it was on this middle that all the best stories were told. They were told this way, the more serious, but the lighter average tone is what your audience can contact. This vibe is a vibe of real life.
Klingon boys’ groups do not have a real life vibe. They are just glasses. It’s zombies and minds crazy wedding fantasies and almost everything Star Trek: Strange new worlds This is done in both very childish spectrum in which it works.
Star Trek is not the only property with this problem. It has killed WonderAlso, it has become so lost in Meta-suppress that people stopped paying attention to or alternatively buried in grainy stories of gangsters that no one cares about.
That is why Till Fantastic four has paid so much positive attention, whether people understand it or not. It exists in that serious but serious medium. It pulls it out by supplying the campsite 50s retro vibe, which is quite an achievement. It could easily go into the high school drama club dedicated to John Waters, but it never did it.
If you are wondering why this happens, it is quite obvious: it is easier to write two -dimensional cartoons than stories related to people at a deeper level. Hollywood has a serious problem of writing talent.
When your writers are hacks, they can’t make nuances. Instead, they write about their lack of creativity by directing existing stories in wild extremes. It is not so obvious that you pull out a PG TV episode, such as the “best of both worlds” when there is blood spray throughout the room.
Without good writing, you come into the world of two -tone entertainment. As long as Hollywood returns to the reception of writers based on merit, nothing will change.
