So the vast majority of pepole hate modern writing in movies and tv. What are the mistakes of modern art and how can I avoid them? What is modern art missing that I need to add to my own works?
Not everyone hates modern art and writing, I'm unsure where you're getting that from.
At any rate, just make what you want to make. Practice, challenge yourself. For drawing, try gesture drawing, study your faves, follow art prompts, join an art community. For writing, study your faves, try and write something every day, have someone read your work and give feedback.
Just enjoy your craft. If you keep making the connection "art is pain," that's it will be.
No, but seriously. I feel that so much "crappy" modern art comes from there being no heart involved. If you're doing art because you love doing it, then it's still art, regardless of its objective quality. Granted, you can still make great art or writing even if you're doing it for money, but try not to let it go to your head. And don't let artist's block get you down! It happens to the best of us.
Do you want art advice or do you want writing advice?
Honestly, I would recommend read books/comics or watching film/tv. Read reviews or watch reviews. Read both professional and casual ones. Think about what you like and dislike about media. And work off of that. Write what you love and about what you love. If you love how modern media is written, then study that. If you love 19th century lit, study that.

I'm also just going to say be sure you're listening/reading reviews from well rounded sources. I didn't make comics for years because of websites like the badwebcomicswiki, and honestly that was an excuse I used to not try. Art isn't this definitive medium that everyone agrees on. Don't overwhelm yourself with this idea that because something wasn't perceived as good, it was better to not make it at all. Art is about expression, and a good critic will recognize that. So I'd avoid your cinemasins or throwing stones at glass house types, because they're purposely digging into the negative.
Pardon this inevitably being long-winded and repeating some points I'd previously made in another thread, but if I may..
Good art is subjective, in the past or the present. You cannot make something to please everyone in the world as everyone has different tastes, and that is what makes all the varying styles and concepts of art so special in their own right. There is no true good or bad, or as they say how one man's trash is another's treasure.
All you necessarily need to add to what you create is what you enjoy. Creating for the masses is what can lead to some media winding up soulless. Creative endeavors and how fruitful they are is not determined by how sociable an artist is.
Presently, what is "missing" from modern work is simply whatever you have to bring to the table. And I encourage you to do so regardless of if you think it will be popular or not.
How about you? How will you live a life that faces death?

Yeah, I also 2nd avoiding nitpick content.
There is a saying that "People don't know what they want".
I have seen people nitpick weird lyrics to songs to justify why the song is bad. Meanwhile they will enjoy a song with nonsense lyrics and say "Hey this is great!". Imagine if someone nitpick the song "Eight Days a Week" because there is only seven days in a week. A lot of people still like things even if they are weird, cooky, silly, or dare I say "cringe".
Art is subjective, what may look like utter garbage to one person maybe a masterpiece that says a million and one things to another. Write, draw, paint, whatever you want if a thousand and one people hate it I guarantee another thousand and one people will love it, its about what you think, what it says to you anyway.
