Because the hallmark of a profitable film is the premise? Can't put the ending in the trailer...

I'm talking about incentives. If the scripts with strong premises get made, and the ones with strong endings don't, that's presumably what screenwriters will focus on.

You're conflating a lot of things write now. Just because people are sloppily jumping at premises, doesn't mean they're not looking for cohesion. Trust me, when you have a pitch that nails the ending, you can sell that fucker just as right quick.

It was just a hypothesis. It's not my industry. If it is the cause, you should see more strong endings in less financially risky media like novels, short stories, comic books, etc. Also more in indie movies than blockbusters. Not sure if this is the case.

It's not the case. And fair warning, you sound like this in this exchangehttps://xkcd.com/793/

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as pompous. I thought it was a genuinely interesting question. What's your thinking then, is it just lazy writing? Or a particular type of storytelling? Or do you disagree that this is a phenomenon at all?

Sorry, my posting of that cartoon is more meant to say that there's a lot of complex things that go into why storytelling ends up the way it does in movies, with no singular cause, the "ending" convo here is sort of a macro readjustment.
