Current Society prioritizes messages and representation over good storytelling.
It’s one of the reasons a lot of movies today turn out bad and still get critical success.
I hate it. I want a story that makes me feel, or think. If you want messages, then fine. But putting Messages over Story is guaranteed to give you a preachy, boring Movie or Book.
And it’s made its way into our Video games. A game can still sustain itself with good gameplay, but story is still part of the package. Prioritizing Messages over Story will make the story suck, and weaken the overall package.
