Is he a hack?

He blew his wad on lost and has nothing left

is that the guy that runs the ferrari f1 team

Yes he was

Abrams only directed and wrote the first two episodes, he contributed fuck all to the series after the pilot. LOST was Lindelof’s baby

L O S T was also shit. Nothing but endless mystery boxes with no answers and a horribly disappointing last season. It's when big brain anons clicked to his shtick.

Alias was good

>Is he a hack?
Yes.
>Was Lost just a once in a lifetime lucky accident?
He only wrote the first few episodes & only produced the rest of the series whilst his ilk wrote the rest of the dogshit storyline, making it up as they went.
He's a TV director who got too big due to nepotism (his parents worked in Hollywood). He can't ever write an actual GOOD story & he has a habit sinking legacy franchises in the long term, dumping it and moving on to the next paycheck shortly thereafter. He only ever starts bits and pieces of the semblance of a "plot," but leaves abruptly for other writers to figure out his nonsense. His claim to fame is tricking the audience with obnoxious spectacle while simultaneously aping off other directors, like Spielberg.

>exploited the shit out of the "Mystery Box" trope, AKA profoundly lazy storytelling that strings the audience along into thinking spontaneous questions (AKA plot holes) will get answered, but it either never gets answered or the actual "answer" is a lame cop out because Abrams never plans anything in advance
>doesn't know how to write an ending to a prolong story he started because he's never been known to conclude anything

He'll forever be remain in Spielberg's shadow.

alias shit the bed on the final season, like lost.

His directing style exactly mirrors modern business. They only care about this quarter, this week, this second. The possibility of bankruptcy and mass devastation never concerns the shareholder or executives. Likewise, JewJew Abraham has his amazing invention, the Mystery Box! With the Mystery Box, you can throw in a bunch of weird or cool shit and never have to explain it or pay off in the plot. Why not? That's for future writers to worry about, not me! Is it enough to keep the masses watching and subscribed? Then it's as good a story as he'll ever make.

He's genuinely atrocious. The kind of guy who should have been stuck forever making Half Life fan films on YouTube. Cloverfield and Super 8 are his only good movies.

I can just imagine how smug JJ must have felt, coming up with all his stupid mystery boxes for The Force Awakens, knowing he didn't have to answer any of them. Bet he shit a brick when the third movie's director pulled out and they required him back, and seeing how Rian had destroyed all his boxes and closed off everything. Serves him right.

Two peas in a pod, really.
