They have destroyed our culture, it's not even funny at this point.

>>221058997They're nihilists, though "nihilists with a direction" is more apt. They're nihilistic towards any kind of historical legacy, cultural creation, or historical legacy, and especially any kind of traditions or values, because they think nihilism will sweep away the old to produce the utopia they want. Look at this list of "social contructions", which just so happen to line up with Marxist-leftist ideology 100%.

Because every time someone complains about millennial writing I check the credits and it's always gen x or even boomer
>>221058997>And before you blame Gen-X or whatever, every writer guilty of the above is strictly within the 30-45 years old rangeNo, most of these writers were born in the 70s, they are core Gen-X.>Kevin Feige>Taika Waititi>Kevin Smith>Joss Whedon>James GunnGen-X Writing
The hallmark of this writing style, to me, is having people who are way too old to talk like snarky teenagers who also talk like snarky teenagers.
>>221058997That's literally gen x writing.
>>221058997I couldn't even name a successful millennial writer if I tried, I don't think they exist. Older generations just held onto their grasp in hollywood well past their time.
>>221058997Literally name one millennial writer or film maker that has created something like what you are talking about. Post the year they where born for proof or I don't believe you
>>221058997The dude in your pic is Randy Pitchford, a 55 year old gen xer.
>>221058997I hate millenial writing so much. I wish they'd all die along with the boomers.
>>221058997I see we're still blaming millenials for literally everything Gen X did.
>>221059326>millenials, genx, etci don't fucking care. you're all in the same ilk. just fucking die already along with the boomers.
>>221058997Damn what a young 35 yr old
>>221058997k but it was gen x though.
>>221058997Ironically its millenials who coined every term you dumn zoomers use
>>221059057>nobody else cares about generationsThis.
If you want to target actual Millennial writing/shows, you tend to see more of it cartoons. Gravity Falls, Smiling Friends, The Amazing Digital Circus, Adventure Time (barely), Regular Show (barely), The Owl House, and Amphibia are all shows created by, and presumably have a lot of writing by, Millennials.

>>221059150>>221059198>>221059106It's aimed at younger generations though. Boomers and Gen x writers know exactly what their audience (young people) likes and they give it to them.>>221059410So what? the planet is inhabited by nothing but zoomers and alphas? the people who have panic attacks when they see an empty room or try to go camping? the people who don't know how to use computers?Who's going to maintain and fix everything?It'll be like that documentary Empire of Dust whose main theme is that black people are given everything they need but then destroy it all because they're too fucking stupid to maintain it.
>>221059604No, they don't really know what young people want, which is why Hollywood has literally been dying and continues to die.

No one has named one millennial writer yet
>>221059667So, gen x writing. There absolutely no core millennial directors who have had massive hits. The only one that comes to mind is Greta Gerwig with the Barbie movie, and she's really not a millennial in way that people mean. It's like calling someone born in 1996 a zoomer. They're not really, but they're so close that people tend not to care. Greta was born in 1983. She's basically a fucking gen xer/xennial.So, name one millennial, born around 1988-1993. Like actualy 90s kids, right on the edge of 1990 in either direction. Name one. You can't because they haven't been allowed to do anything other than act in movies made by gen xers and boomers.
>>221058997You talking about the symptoms and not the problem.
>>221059057And yet, despite being obsessed with generation wars, they always name them wrong.
>ITT: insecure retards defining themselves by some made-up labels attached to their birth dateRetards.
I am 41, fat, balding and live in a studio apartment.I fuck a different zoomer girl every weekend because I have a car, a job, and weed/booze.They say zoom zooms can't afford these thingsThey say zoom zooms all have ED from gooningThey say zoom zooms are too scared to talk to womenZoom zooms, stay losing.
>>221059150It is. It's all Gen X douchebags who grew up on 80's action movies and now feel like they have to constantly call out how corny those were.Millenials just don't do anything at all. In movies, at least. They make pretentious indie games about depression and growing up, I guess.
I think people refer it as "Millennial Writing" because it's mainly found in media targeted towards them. The writers might be Gen X or older millennials but it's normal for the writers to be slightly older than the target audience.The big issue is how obsessive the millennial generation can be when it comes to pop culture, and how that kind of writing style can bleed into franchises that have no business having it. That's how we get fantasy movies, shows, games with modern dialogue (the new Dungeons and Dragons movie, Veilguard, etc)
>>221060747So it's called "millenial writing" because it's an old person's idea of what a millenial wants to hear, and somehow that's a millenial's fault?
>>221059057I'd never even seen generations mentioned about directors or film-making in general until Backrooms. Instantly every article about Backrooms had "Gen Z director" in the title and I don't understand why this is suddenly happening.
>>221060826the average millennial writer would probably come up with the exact same shit
>>221058997I’m a millennial and I went to film school 18 years ago and the script writing teacher Ms. Black came into the classroom one day and yelled “No more fucking drug addicts or coming out as gay or someone is a racist! Holy shit all of you are writing the same scripts!” and Ms. Black was a black lesbian that worked for PBS. I was writing some script about an old white farmer that had kept a black girl in his cellar because he was a racist and her ghost was haunting him and I scrapped the whole thing because she made me see how retarded I was.
"millennial writing" doesn't exist anywhere except in online spaces, where they are quite successful. The same goes for gen z. The writing that millennials grew tired of by the 2010s was done by gen x and boomers. Capeslop is the peak of gen x writing. There are no famous millennial or gen z screenwriters. Even the Safdie brothers, a pair of the very FEW millennial directors, with their Jewish connections, did not write the screenplays of their most successful movies. That credit goes to Ronald Bronstein, a 52 year old gen xer. Ironically, the screenplay for Backrooms was written by a Millennial named Will Soodik, birthname William Bromell, a nepo baby. If anything Backrooms is among the first famous examples of 'Millennial Writing' in Hollywood. The other two are Damien Chazelle's screenplay for Lala Land, and Emerald Fennell's screenplay for Promising Young Woman, but both Damien and Emerald are born in 1985, so they're like proper elder millennials. Gia Coppola is an ultimate nepo baby, but she's has some writing credits, although I wouldn't really take them seriously. She's about 38. Markiplier's, a core millennial at age 36, wrote, directed, and produced his movie, but of course, it's based on a very complete existing IP. Even so, he somehow ends up being one of the few legit millennial writers thanks to his ability to self fund and bring a massive audience of both zoomers and millennials.
>>221060907Because you weren't paying attention. Back in the 90's a big deal was made of the emergence of Gen X hipster directors like Tarantino, Fincher, Kevin Smith (hard to believe as it is, he used to be relevant), the Wachowski's and so on, taking over from the boomer "Movie brat" generation, many of whom are still around, of course, like Coppola, Spielberg, Scorsese, George Lucas, Ridley Scott. And those had the nickname "movie brats" because they were thought of as the first generation of film makers who, themselves, grew up on movies, compared to the post war generation of golden age directors like John Ford, Orson Welles, Cecille B. Demille, Will Wyker...Of course those followed in the footsteps of the titans of Silent Film, like Griffith, Lang, Murnau, Eisenstein...See, we could do this all day. Generational change has always been a big part of movie discourse.
>>221059057>>221059027This. Zoomers have no culture. And by zoomer I mean anyone born past 9/11.
>>221058997Writers have always done changes to the source material when making an adaptation. You’re just a lazy loser who didn’t care or bother to read the source material and now rely on other people online telling you rage about it. Quirky and eccentric characters have also always existed. All you do is projecting because you yourself have no life experience and can’t comprehend not everyone is like you.
>>221060747>The big issue is how obsessive the millennial generation can be when it comes to pop cultureEvery generation in the modern era has been obsessed with pop culture. All you are doing is turning into your parent’s generation, shitting on young people and whine about how everything sucks and only shit from when you were young was good.

>>221058997>. And before you blame Gen-X or whatever, every writer guilty of the above is strictly within the 30-45 years old rangeYeah, they were in the 30-45 year old age range 20 fucking years ago.

>>221058997It's a lack of real life experience combined with believing that second hand experiences can replace experiencing stuff for yourself.This explains why they want to make every story their own, because they truly lack their own stories to tell.
>James Gunn is 59>Taika Waititi is 50>JJ Abrams is 59
>>221061219Sure faggot, we were always at war with eastasiaKys
As usual butthurt millennials make it a semantic problem instead of addressing the problem that this shit has to go.Luckily movies affecterd by marvelitis are bombing, just like He/Him-Man

>>221061932I believe it's the same generation that were told they were special and grew up writing fanfiction about how special they are. The rise of the Internet allowed them to find online niches where they could get insulated from criticism.Now those same people have entered the media. They never had the ability to create worlds, which is why they latched on to pre-existing media back then, and why they corrupt every IP they touch now.
>>221062556Millennial is the audience, and the demographic that adopted it in everything they doIt's millennial writing. Nobody will ever call it millennial audience writing just because you are butthurt about it
Kill millenials. Behead millenials. Roundhouse kick millenials. Total millenial death.
>>221062569it's not written by millennials or millennial audiences so neither of those would be right. it's generation x writing
>>221059279why is this so upsetting to watch?
>>221062562>believe it's the same generation that were told they were special and grew up writing fanfiction about how special they are.

>>221062680ffs i fucked up the greentext
>>221061081What about Robert Eggers and Ari Aster? They're both millennials.
>>221062556Do those people really write quirk chungus characters? They like quippy dialogue sure, but that's different. As far as adaptations go, Abrams' Star Trek was just Alternate Timeline stuff, and Whedon's 2 Avengers movies were fine, plot-wise. They just had his shitty quippy dialogue. I can't speak for Akiva Goldsman.When you think of people who "refuse to create a faithful adaptation", it's more like the people who make the live action Cowboy Bebop, Halo TV show, Rings of Power, Wheel of Time etc etc. Unlike comic book stories, these IPs usually have a very definite, finished plotline. But the modern writers usually would change things up in a very predictable way; making females into girlbosses, making the males dumb, raceswapping etc etc.
>"Millennial Writing">Look inside>Gen X
>>221061726amazing in this awful era we live in a girl that looks like this can have more sex than a decent looking dude
It's hilarious that as soon as people started pointing out that "Millennial Writing" was actually written and directed by Gen Xers the faggots that were shilling it IMMEDIATELY started goalpost moving that>"uhhhh actually it still counts because uhhhhhhh IT JUST DOES OKAY"
>>221062732All shit. Boomers truly were the last generation able to create decent art and entertainment.
>>221062732Millennial writing = writing style made by genXers for (and enjoyed by) millennials.It's not that complicated. Same way 'zoomer content' is just content made by millennials and consumed by zoomers and so on.
>>221062610And genx movies weren't written by genxers. Your point?

He and his compatriots like Kevin Williamson, Adam Sandler etc are ground zero for all those tropes, not millennials.
only selected few millenials are like that, predominantly from privileged jew/far western circles. Get a 40 year old guy from poland or some other post soviet block - you get mr based.

Sorry, but "Gen X writing" just won't catch on. Everyone knows what "millennial writing" is. Millennial males being bearded s0i fags and the females being fat feminists doesn't help, either.
>>221063126But you did before? Jesus how embarrassing for you
>>221059410She cute. I'd rather a quirk chungus gf than a non-binary zoomette gf
>>221063532My apologies. I'm clumsy
>>221062487Why, what was so bad about her? As long as you're physically attracted to her, it sounds like the kind of person you could have a pretty chill relationship with.Honestly, I just want a cute dinergoth gf to watch movies with. I knew a girl who would genuinely get excited about all sorts of random capeshit and vidya. I found it to be a pretty attractive trait. I wish I could be as passionate about these things.
>>2210589974chan, and this board in particular absolutely hates criticism of millennials because it's made up of now aging millennials who are still bitter. Good luck with this OP
Imagine typing out "Avoiding any sincerity" unironically, while being physically incapable of communicating without using meme arrows
>>221058997Can you name some of these millennial writers that have been so influential with these awful tropes?
>>221063126Did you personally buy and trade slaves?
>>221064828I could name a couple, but they all work in video games and animation, rather than live action film and television.
>>221058997They grew up in the Gen X era of >close male friendships = homoerotic>real men are in touch with feminine side>men are pigs obsessed with sex, women are indifferent>sensitive, deep, emotional men get the girl>tryhard this, tryhard that, ie: don't try hard, ie: don't be sincereThis social programming lasted from 1989 to about 2008. That's almost 2 decades. That's why there are two types of Gen Y. The 4chan type (usually likes boomers more than gen xers) and the Resetera type (likes gen xers and zoomers more).
>>221065085No writer in the video game and animation industry is influential.
