Good question actually. What are some things that have competent production and writing but are otherwise just really generic movie slop?

My vote is for The Shawshank Redemption. Is it good? Yeah, but it's just a movie. It's not something special like Fantastic Planet, Fiddler on the Roof, or some of my other favorite movies. There's a good guy and a bad guy. They fight, and the good guy wins. It's the #1 highest rated thing on iMDB but like, it's just qualityslop. People only like it because it's good 👋🙄

I think the exact same is true of Sousou no Frieren, currently the #1 rated anime. Qualityslop is generic and unspecial enough to reach mass appeal, and people only like it because it's high quality. Slop.
