>Can write the most kickass fight scenes and silent characters
>Can't write dialogue or an ending
What causes this?
>>
OOOUGH NANA

Most artists can't write and unlike what anons like to believe, it's not because of some gay moral failing. They're just two different skillsets
>>
>>153323609
He wants to be a real artist. Meaning, thinks the best story is when you constantly subvert expectations. In other words, an idea man. Idea men cannot write endings.

>Can't write an ending
>What is Ego Trip
>What is S5 Samurai Jack
>What is Primal
What do you gain by being so disingenuous?

>Good
>Shit
>So shit it had to be completely retconned
>>
>>153323609
Once the three elements, Artists, Writers and Editors lived in harmony. Then everything changed whe-ACK!
>>
>>153323919
>What is Ego Trip
A Deus Ex Machina cop-out.

the key difference between writing and visual art is that to make something remotely presentable, visual art demands a lot more skill up front. not everyone can draw. but anyone who is literate can string words together, so people think writing is easier.
HOWEVER
90% of writing is behind the scenes and in the small details. there’s a lot of thought that goes into a work before you ever put pen to paper. character voices, continuity, pacing, word choice and sentence structure, vocabulary, motifs, tone. writing is easy. good writing is not.

>the end is season 2 not season 3 for my argument to work
The fact that he was humble enough to realize he messed up is a point in his favor too

So many artists these days just have a huge ego and double down

He specializes in one thing but not the other. Happens all da time

Genndy can write just fine, Dexter's Lab and Samurai Jack had some fun dialogue exchanges. He just can't write MATURE dialogue or handle a serialized narrative. Primal S3 was decent tho
>>
>>153323609
What's the system he did for Primal?
>>
>>153323609
but OP he can't do either of those things, he was out of his depth the moment Dexter's Lab ended

Writing has no place in animation, a visual medium

Some people have different skillsets, this isn't some big secret.
Maybe Genndy is secretly a great cook.
>>
>>153323609
What's wrong with his dialogue?
>>
>>153323609
Like Mel Brooks in that one shitty animated film would say: "Stars fade away kid"
>>
>>153323609
>Can write the most kickass fight scenes and silent characters
what are you talking about?
most of these are a whole lot of ineffective blows until the power of plot finally lets the main character go apeshit and win
you know, instead of doing that from the beginning
>>
>>153323697
Fucking hell, Zeurel needs to hear this.

We should start questioning Darrick Bachman, then. He's been Genndy's writing partner for years now.
>>
Unicorn S2 WHENNNN???
>>
>>153323609
I refuse to believe anyone can't write dialogue

How are you today?

Very well very well
>>
>>153324025
>Foreshadowed at the very beginning
>Deus Ex Machina cop-out
Do faggots like you even know what words mean, or do you just say shit to sound smart?
>>
>>153323609
>Clone Wars ending ties perfectly to Episode 3
>"cAn'T wRiTe An EnDiNg!"
Of course OP is a retard faggot.
>>
>>153329728
It isn't very good.

samurai jack's ending was also retconned
>>
>>153323609
Visual medium, visual skillset, he does just fine
>>
>>153334303
Huh? When did that happen?
>>
>>153333561
in that case george lucas had already written the ending he just needed to line things up
>>
>>153334662
In the video game, but real ones know the OG ending is the real one
>>
>>153323697
This
Anons like to use this to jerk themselves off over how artists don't le read when I've seen the crap the average comic/writeanon makes. I'm willing to bet Genndy has read a shitton of books but that alone isn't going to make him a better writer. He's an animator first and foremost.
>>
>>153333460
Hopefully never
>>153335086
Anons who believe that 4chan would make something better are beyond retarded. /co/‘s premiere OC character is a boob joke who’s entire character is she’s a teen with huge tits.

Most original /co/ content is just softcore porn
