>>106505855>The money that goes into a MCU and DCEU could have go to dozens of smaller original content films of multiple different genresI can assure you these movies are still getting made and also receive plenty of money, do you really, honestly believe Hollywood only funds MCU movies and that the money goes nowhere after that?
Plus here's the hard truth: even if they didn't invest that money in capeshit, they still wouldn't fund these hundreds of "independent, smaller films", that's simply not how it works. There exists a proven market and the investment almost always pays off. Unfortunately, original content is always a risk.
>But no you idiots keep going to mindlessly watch the same fucking origin movie or hero team up movie that hasn't change in quality since 2008Well no, they actually have improved a lot and have jazzed up the formula as well, but again, no one is forcing you to watch these, I still watch PLENTY of original, smaller movies that aren't at all similar to comic books or whatever. These are just cheap entertainment for the most part, and keep a lot of people interested. Nothing else to it.
