I just watched this monstrosity the other day … four freaking hours because we got hooked on the first two episodes, lost faith in the third and hoped for the fourth but got severely disappointed.
After watching it, I really wondered how and why it could have been so bad and then I noticed a few reviewers suggesting that it was most likely something slapped together using AI tools and text prompts … and when I thought about what I saw, what I heard, the lack of common logic and sense that was in the film and the atrocious voice over ending … it really made a lot of sense that this was something a few no name writers had created with AI, and then just lost it and wrapped it up with an AI text prompt.
If they can produce content like this for millions … I’m sure you could produce something worthwhile yourself.
It’s another thing I learned about writers, especially ones with a lot of potential … they lack confidence in their work. I wouldn’t wait until I was 70 like your mom (although I thoroughly enjoy the idea that she’s doing it) … I’d just go out there and write something … it certainly wouldn’t be any worse that a lot of million dollar productions being produced today.
If it means anything, I’m a fan of your work already.
It’s more of a stamina thing. I’ve tried writing a book before and I just run out of steam after a while. I think it comes from doing standup for years. Make the material efficient, get to the punchline quickly so you don’t lose the audience. It’s sort of ruined me for long-form writing.
But again, I appreciate the compliment, thank you.
