They Broke Hollywood.

Hollywood is broken. Very few of the movies coming out this year look like they're going to make bank, and none of them are expected to break $1 billion. And the effects of the shutdown haven't even kicked in yet. Is Hollywood dead in the water in 2024?

Hollywood needs to drop these writers, directors, and executives who want to change a story to appeal to a broader audience or want to change the story to be easier to understand? Or even change the base themes and plot elements because they want to make it more family friendly.

And they honestly thought none of that above would eventually bite them in the backside sooner or later? And here we are seeing them all crashing and burning while running around scared and flabbergasted about why everything is failing all around them even though the answer is right in front of their faces but can't see it due to being blind by their huge raging ego, sheer incompetence, or blind loyalty to their flawed ideals and in group. And the worst part, they've been warned over and over again what they're doing will eventually lead to their current position, but yet they keep arrogantly blowing off anyone who tried to warn them. Now they're reaping what they sow and can't blame no one but themselves why they're failing so much now.

@@Raspse7en Reminds me of what someone on another video in my opinion excellently said: "Controversial opinion: Cancel culture made room for AI. It doesn't talk back, complain, get political or religious. It does what you tell it to do. I plan on doing animation. I won't lie. I'm thinking of using AI voice acting. Have you heard about the drama in the booktube community? Animation and art community? Someone does something the majority dislikes or forgets innocent until proven guilty and they start returning books, cancelling and harrassing artist. It's a sad day when working with AI feels less risky than working with people. If I hire a voice actor and they discover something about me they don't like then try to get me cancelled... I mean...ugh. Or translators not translating foreign media correctly. AI won't do that. If people just did their jobs and let people live their life maybe AI wouldn't look so appealing."

I'd say it was the match and the gasoline was the grossly overinflated budgets that cape flicks and movies in general were being given and directors were being told they had to spend all of "or else". That's why cape flicks went from being 90-120 minutes long with tight well crafted stories that were well paced and could hold your attention too being 3+ hours long slogs with boring stories that are so sloppily written that you can tell they were paying the writer by the line to make sure it was as long as possible, resulting in them being so heavily padded you'd think script had a severed artery.

Hollywood needs a healthy mix of these things but now it seems like they’ve lost all faith in creatives to create anything new and I can’t entirely blame them with how little I’ve thought of the stories on a lot of recent stuff.

There are few if any actual creatives in the industry at this point. Modern Hollywood writers are hired as a box ticking exercise without regard for the merits of actual talent, so of course everything is a reboot or a sequel because they cannot write anything fresh and new that actually appeals to anyone outside their identity stroking bubble.

Oddly enough, Christian movies used to be peak cinema or media at a point in time. But then entertainment took the back seat to "the message" so they slowly became synonymous with low-budget crap. There are outliers every now and again, but it's a dead genre. Rom-coms, westerns, comedies... these died off too. When is the last time we had a super popular comedy... Jesus. Now, there's nothing. Every genre is infected, and success is an outlier.

G.S. Is right. I’ve stopped watching movies and TV. Full stop. I watch the reviews and secondary source stuff like Clownfish, Crit. Drinker, Nerdrotic etc. but I refuse to give my money to Hollywood or any entity that treats me like I am a ‘toxic problem that needs to be solved.’ I used to be a regular at the theater and now I’ve cancelled most of my streaming services and haven’t been to a theater in two years. I am done with them.

While large TV screens & sound systems for homes were being developed & hitting the market, they went to multiplexes. Then they started producing low quality CGI laden movies lacking characters and good stories, then they made almost everything be in a multi universe, then they used corona to engage in fear mongering and closed the theaters, making some people afraid to go, then trained people to wait for movies to go on streaming (quickly). While making more prequels, sequels, and remakes . Congratulations, it all worked and got people out of the habit going to the theaters.

I think another reason the audience has shrunk for the cinema, is because the public don't trust the film studios anymore. They constantly lie about their products, They create a franchise and when it stops working they ignore the 3rd or 4th movie then make another one and say oh! this is the true sequel. I used to go to the cinema 30 to 40 times a year for over 30 years, last year I went once. When you have studios like Disney churning out utter tosh and they actually know they're doing it, you have to ask yourself. If they don't care about their product, why should I?

@ChaoticYak1 14 күн бұрын

This is the biggest problem to me as well. There is no reason why a movie or TV show or video game or book must appeal to everyone. There are certain demographics that will more likely gravitate to certain genres. You can choose to water down the genre until it appeals to everyone, but when that happens, you lose all the people who liked the original genre and you'll fail to pick up all the people who really want other genres because it won't be enough of what they want. I recognize that I am the minority of those who like scifi and fantasy because I'm a woman. That's okay. I like those genres as they are. I don't WANT them to be changed to what some random person thinks women like in order to appeal to women. I liked them before they changed them. I haven't bothered with nuTrek or with Disney Star Wars. They've changed those things to something I don't want. So they've lost me and a lot of other women like me, along with a lot of the men who originally were the majority of the fan and they haven't gained an audience to replace us.

Anything to avoid taking a look in the mirror, and asking themselves the hard questions about this film industry collapse.
