Think about it. Why is it that when people see real performances by real actors they can enjoy a story, but when presented with a book version of that exact same story they just get bored to tears?

It's the lookpill.

People don't watch TV/Movies for the stories, but rather for the characters and the drama between them. Which they can't enjoy unless there is a visual element. It's also for the same reason that nobody wants to watch movies/shows where the characters are ugly with annoying voices even if they're literally the same characters otherwise.

Most people hate reading because they can't judge the characters by their appearances the same way they could otherwise.

Looks = Character.
Books: Can't see the characters = Characters feel 'dry'.

Star Wars movies. Literally any of them. Especially the prequels.

They're absolutely chockful of cringy writing, but none of it matters because the production values are high and the actors are likable/charismatic. Shit like "good call my young padwan!" etc. But nobody cares because Ewan Mcgregor is delivering the dialog.

What's wrong with that line, there was a period when all the nerds were calling each other "young padawan".

Cause they lack patience, imagination, and reading comprehension
 
Talking about myself, I always enjoyed reading books and imagining the scenarios of their stories in my head (I also like to read movie novelizations and I picture in my head how those elements that are not present in the movie, only in the novelization, would look in the big screen), I just dislike when books have a pedantic and complicated writing, plus when they take too much explaining boring subjects, that's why I prefer the movie version of "American Psycho" over the book, for example, because in the book Patrick Bateman spends pages talking about the clothes of his "friends" and that can be a pain in the ass when it repeats over and over again.

This is not the only issue.

The problem with books is that they HAVE to explain what stuff looks like, whereas other mediums can just show it, slowing down the pacing of the story in the process. Furthermore, a book can't explain the same visual over and over (well it can, but it would destroy the pacing utterly), so you're just expected to remember what everything looks like, even for things that haven't reappeared for like a 100+ pages. With other mediums this isn't an issue, because every time a character or setting returns, you simply see what they look like each time, which is not the case with books.

I hate it so fucking much when during the early parts of a book, the author decides to off-load some boring af background story or descriptions about a character's personality, instead of just showing us what it's like via it's in-story actions, or at least, by limiting the descriptions to just a paragraph or two.
