Imho mainly American movies and TV Shows. Some countries with banger shows and movies:
I think that Hollywood mainly lost two things:
In those foreign countries i find movies that do stuff i never tought they would do, Some even truly shock me. And that is what i look for in a movie, Thought and emotion provocation.
It’s less a problem of lack of creativity, and more an issue with paying for it. Studios don’t take chances anymore. They will only pay to churn out bad versions of known IP because they are cheap cowards. Until the money and power gets back to the creatives, this will only get worse.
If you want to make something remarkable you have to take risks indeed.
To be fair, over half of Korean content could be described as slushy romcoms. It constantly bangs the same drum lol.
Agreed i was more talking about stuff like:
The Glory and Crash Landing On You were superb though
Japanese anime is learning too many of worst lessons from American media:
Don't get me wrong, there's still a lot of good stuff out there, and some of these bad habits already existed. But, it's more pronounced now.
I don't think we'll ever see another excellent mega-series like Naturo or One Piece or Bleach again. Not when they are going to take long breaks after 10-12 hours of episodes.
