Yesterday penguinz0 made a video about the current state of modern blockbusters and its something I think would be interesting to discuss here. In my opinion it would be for the best if the MCU was put out to pasture and the Disney monopoly was broken up.
It seems like more and more blockbusters have the sane tone, the same style and the same direction. Its like they are written and directed by the same handful of people. The Flash, Indiana Jones 5, and Ant Man 5 all felt like they had the same writers and directors. I place a lot of the blame for this on Disney. Ever since Disney Plus launched everything marvel put out has been so paint by numbers.
What do you all think. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
It’s just the enshittification you’re noticing. I’ve felt this way about movies since the mid 2000’s. It’s happening everywhere. Movies. TV. Video games. Music.
The only way you can find true innovation and something new and creative is to seek out the independent creators. They’re the only ones taking any chances. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
All the big producers are just going to find a combination of things that allows them to sell the most and then stick with it for as long as it keeps making them boatloads of money. They won’t take a chance; they will wait for an independent to take a chance, and either buy their shit or copy it.
