That's just a symptom. We'd get other slop if it wasn't for Star Wars and Marvel. Hollywood only knows how to make mega-expensive movies anymore, that are watered down and derivative because they have to cater to the biggest possible audience to recoup investment. Unfortunately, audiences also have a lot more content to choose from, for less money.
Fair point and well said. I really wish they would consider those of us that want actual content. Less expensive movies that are more character driven.
I mean, TV series have pretty much become that. I just wish there were more mini-series that are self-contained instead of promising stories fizzling out by season 5 or getting canceled prematurely.
Movies are too long for one sitting and I find they condense the story to the point it is skimming the surface. TV shows and miniseries are able to flesh out worlds and characters over hours, not minutes. They just need to write the stories beforehand so the season creep doesn't start. Make a sequel if you need to do more seasons or tell a different story in the same universe.
