Things writing can't do; romance, slapstick comedy, action.

It's primitive and fruitless to try to replicate those through text.

Yes. Each medium has its own purposes as art

That's physical comedy that's very physicality and expression is funny; it would be like writing a book about a smell.

True, it is so in some parts. But not that often.

Proust and Baudelaire did that.

Still can't make you smell, like action and romance can make you feel. You can't express a prat fall as funnily as you can watch it, IMO, but you can express feelings with literature to a person who is only even slightly empathic.
