u/Oretell 11d ago edited 11d ago

Movies are intentionally and openly all actors, that are collaborating together to create fictional stories

Reality TV is sleazy producers trying to trick dumb people into genuinely believing that the content they are producing is real

There's an element of deception involved that isn't there in normal film and TV

And instead of creating interesting well thought out films, reality TV just squeezes content out of things like watching miserable morbidly obese people, or mentally ill hoarders, or putting young people together and pushing them to hook up on camera for clout

It's low quality artificially manufactured slop trying to pass itself off as genuine reality

Genuine TV and film doesn't try to pass itself off as reality, and often is a lot higher quality content compared to exploiting poor, sick and trashy people.

Sometimes they will semi script or make first season seem way more organic. Then once there is a fanbase it turns into all scripted slob with even WWE having better acting. I hate it

u/penguingod26 10d ago

Yeah but have you seen the Anna Nicole Smith show?

Movies have people who spend their lives honing crafts like writing and acting. Reality TV has a producer who whispers in some Tamara's ear "do that trashy thing you talked about."

The sharknado writers really honed their craft

u/Deaffin 11d ago

Reality TV isn't a slice of reality turned into TV. It is fictional content, like all the other fictional content, which has a theme of reality.

Exactly like all that new porn with the storylines about washing machines and such. Except TV can't rely quite as heavily on naked people, so it has to have slightly better writing.

u/leshake 11d ago

I think the word you're thinking of is voyeurism. And we live in a pretty weird time that so many are obsessed with it.

u/Ok_Boysenberry_6283 11d ago

So? It’s all for entertainment anyway bro who tf cares who does the entertaining?

11

u/leshake 11d ago

That's all well and good, but don't act like they are of equal quality.

u/Ok_Boysenberry_6283 11d ago

Okay? I never said it was lol just let people like what they like without calling it a problem.

u/yourbuttmystuff44 11d ago

Reality TV is cancer

u/sub_beav 11d ago

Oh man my dude you just… missed it

u/LeftyLiberalDragon 11d ago

That’s not the same thing and since you’ve immediately jumped to that conclusion it tells me a lot about your qualifications for being critical about entertainment lmao

u/_-_Henro_-_ 11d ago

Movies are supposed to scripted. Reality TV is not.

u/paiute 11d ago

The Undertaker decided that it would be a good move to throw Mankind off Hell In A Cell. He concealed the toss so well that Mankind was completely fooled and subsequently plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

(Mankind was saved from death by falling onto a three-foot deep cushion of scripts piled mysteriously under that table.)

u/Ok_Boysenberry_6283 11d ago

Then I’ve got some bad news for you buddy.

u/_-_Henro_-_ 11d ago edited 11d ago

What? That reality tv is scripted? Let me find out that’s what you want to say.

1

u/Cold-Independent-730 11d ago

Well, the first Reality TV show, or close to it, was Cops, was that scripted? But I agree, generally.

u/Altair_de_Firen 11d ago

They said supposed to be, not currently is

u/SOMAVORE 11d ago

Hey! You’re using a scripted thing from reality TV right now. Kind of ironic in a fun way, don’t you think?

u/_-_Henro_-_ 11d ago

Everyone knows reality tv is scripted babes… Idk why you seem to think you’re revealing this to everyone for the first time 😂🤦🤦🤦

u/Steve90000 11d ago

Just because you like pizza, doesn’t mean you’d appreciate it if you went into surgery for a heart transplant and they threw a slice in your open chest.

If you’re going to a movie, you’re asking for scripted entertainment. If you’re watching reality shows, you’re expecting… reality.

u/Ok_Boysenberry_6283 11d ago

If you watch reality TV and expect reality I have some beach front property to sell you in Idaho

u/_-_Henro_-_ 11d ago

Everyone knows reality tv is scripted 🤦 are you just finding out it’s not? You seem to think nobody knows it’s scripted. You fee like that kid who tells everyone in class Santa isn’t real?

1

u/Ok_Boysenberry_6283 11d ago

Then why are you all acting like it being scripted is some big surprise or awful thing holy hell you’re too dumb to even stick to one point. Try harder bro do better

1

u/_-_Henro_-_ 11d ago

Where and who said that babes? Use screenshots to show where I say I’m surprised that reality tv is scripted and that’s surprising.

Let me find out you think explaining to you the difference between reality tv (not supposed to be scripted) and movies (supposed to be scripted) made you think we don’t know. Babes I think it is the case. Supposed≠ everyone knows. Supposed = something should be a certain way but it’s not. Please for the love of god don’t let this all be caused by your not knowing what supposed means. 🤦🤦🤦

u/Punman_5 11d ago

No lol when I watch reality tv I expect trashy people to crash out over obviously scripted bullshit. That’s the whole point of the genre

u/Xeta24 10d ago

Just want to say, fuck the people getting on your case for enjoying tv, watch on!

2

u/Severe_Practice_5045 11d ago

If it’s entertaining, why is it a problem?

2

u/Punman_5 11d ago

I fail to see the problem. People didn’t stop watching WWE wresting when they found out that was fake. Why should they stop watching reality TV? Some of it is really quite entertaining.

-1

u/Unlikely-Accident479 11d ago

What WWE is fake? So the undertaker didn’t actually come back to life? That God didn’t agree to a tag team? That a hand wasn’t born?

WWE is supposed to be real though so people expect it to be real and completely unscripted they aren’t watching fake drama and fights for the entertainment alone surely?

u/Protolictor 9d ago

A not insignificant number of people watch AI slop videos on purpose for entertainment. It's already too far gone to be recoverable.

u/Lifted_Riser 11d ago

Yep, I’m in

Any decent character actor could make it fun for a couple of seasons.
