Like anything, it depends entirely on how it's done, but I've noticed a trend in people who despise stories that are written like the audience is a child while also despising any story that expects you to put some work in to understand things.

Pop cukture nowadays wants things to be as grey/dark as possible. Anything simple and straighforward is pathologised.

The ending a story should get is the one that fits the story best. Sometimes that's ambiguous. Sometimes it seems to cut off before it should. And sometimes it is clear. Sometimes it goes on and on exhaustively showing you how everything ended up.

>>529519it's no wonder there's a glowie-curated cottage industry of reviewers who tell you fiction is bad when it's "unfocused" or "doesn't move the plot forward" or "tells instead of shows" or "tries to tackle too many subjects". It limits the ability to make a political statement with a work of fiction. How dare you bash us over the head with your class conscious message? It's supposed to be buried under a mount of implications that can be selectively ignored by a viewer who disagrees with it!

Its all about feeling and individual experience, but not in a sense that it expects audience to introspect their own psyche, but rather dictate it to them. Virtually all mainstream media is constructed around evoking specific feelings in its consumer. "This is a scene where you should feel sad, this is a scene where you should feel afraid, this is a scene where you should feel happy."
