Yes and no. The audience is just as much to blame because we keep eating what we’re fed. Why risk something original when people will show up opening weekend for “Sequel McReboot: Part Eleventy” and make you half a billion dollars? Everything is so money focused that if we want originality, we have to support it. Hollywood (and media in general) won’t change until the audience does.
Everything you said, plus: It’s 2024 and Hollywood hasn’t had an original idea in at least 15 years lmao
