Hollywoke is going broke. There is no such thing as a blockbuster anymore. Most new films are unwatchable garbage and even big marketing dollars don’t draw interest. The recent Disney bomb , The Little Mermaid, is proof. Nothing Disney produces is any good, and even if it was there are too many people who want nothing to do with increasing their bottom line...
Like anything else, film is not dead, it is just temporarily out of sorts because it has lost its mission...
I think we can look forward to the death of the old guard and the emergence of something entirely new...
Look at how well Top Gun: Maverick did, pretty much one of the only recent movies to not push some overtly stupid social agenda. Tom Cruise isn't my favorite dude in the world, but that movie was great and made me feel good about America for a few hours.
And it didn't have CGI ... CGI is also ruining the film industry.
Correction: Excessive CGI is one of the issues ruining the film industry, but still not as much as wokeness is.
