these people are so mind-numbingly risk adverse they don’t greenlight any new properties and tacitly reheat old ones there will eventually be a whole generation of people who never saw anything new or worthwhile from them
That’s just late-capitalism in general. No large companies are innovating anymore. They simply let smaller companies pop up and then either buy it or kill them with legal or market dominance based maneuvers. I mean if all that mattered to you was short term profit, would you take any risks? Easier to destroy than create of that’s all you care about.
Adapt or die. Hollywood has chosen the latter. They have chosen poorly.
On the bright side, they are in good company with most of America at this time.
Well, Hollywood seems to prefer quantity over quality. Now 99% of everything is junk that’s not worth wasting your time on.
99.99% of American movies and TV is so shit, I wouldn’t even pirate it. There is a whole planet full of interesting, intelligent, educational and very well written content. Creativity left the US when the whole nation became a massive greedy corporation.
Well the newer content is not exactly what I call great. There are good movies and TV shows here and there but most of it is junk.
And they will learn nothing from this and release 16 more super hero movies, remakes nobody asked for, and prequels/sequels to movies that came out 20 - 30 years ago. I’m more excited for the movie Iron Lung because it’s being made by a YouTuber that actually gives a shit about what they are making vs rehashed bullshit that focuses more on “second screen” attention instead of making something worth our time.
I don’t care for Hollywood in the least but this isn’t a positive development. Influencer culture really needs to die. I’d much rather see people switch to markets like anime and K-drama, as both of those are largely still packed to the brim with good art.
