Just being told what is going on is incredibly boring. Good story telling has the reader thinking. That's what makes it interesting.
Enjoy your Marvel movies and slop, piggy.
There is a time and place for slop like Michael Bay Transformers. "Turn your brain off" is a style of storytelling. It's not 'good'. It's for when you don't want to think, or you don't really care about the story. You know that person who keeps asking "what's going on?" when you're watching a show? Those people like being told what is happening. They don't like using their brain when watching TV/movies.
Playing a game like Elden Ring, you have to remember things and use your brain to absorb any story. It's also completely fine ignoring it. It's really a great formula for video game story telling.
I would rather have that style of storytelling than being locked into a cutscene I really don't care about.
Sports is like this, too. You can pay attention to the storylines, or just watch and not care about the story. That's one of the reasons sports are so popular. It's for brains and no-brains alike.
