I’d say that it’s a consequence of studios attempting to find something that’s consistently and constantly profitable.
The MCU was the latest big thing, and that’s led to oversaturation in the vain hope of chasing that high.

Combine this with audiences’ shifting tastes post-COVID, the Writer’s Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes last year, and generative AI becoming widely accessible with ChatGPT, and you get an industry that’s ultimately desperate.

Irrational things. Stupid things, if i told you you wouldnt know what to say. I know theyre irrational, that adds onto the frustration. I feel like if i manage to understand something thats upsetting me is irrational i should be able to not be upset by it as theres no rational reason left to be upset by i feel like my brain isnt cooperating with me and just does whatever it wants. Thanks for asking

This is by far the big one: post-COVID, the average person has gone from seeing five films a year in theaters to three films, and that runs straight into a bunch of giant blockbusters that now need to pitch themselves as the thing to see.

Same, but that’s purely because I’m two blocks down from a Regal and have a Crown Club membership.
