Comment on ‘It feels empty’: is Hollywood film and TV production in a death spiral?

Imho mainly American movies and TV Shows. Some countries with banger shows and movies:

UK
Korea
The Netherlands
Japan
Serbia [ ;) ]

I think that Hollywood mainly lost two things:

Their Guts
Creativity

In those foreign countries i find movies that do stuff i never tought they would do, Some even truly shock me. And that is what i look for in a movie, Thought and emotion provocation.

It’s less a letter of lack of creativity, and more an issue with paying for it. No studios take chances anymore. They will only pay to churn out bad versions of known IP because they are cheap cowards. Until the money and power goes back to the creatives, this will only get worse.

  If you want to make something remarkable you have to take risks indeed.

To be fair, over half of Korean content could be described as slushy romcoms. It constantly bangs the same drum lol.

Japanese anime is learning too many of worst lessons from American media:

One short season with a limited number of episodes, followed by a 2-5 year hiatus

More popular than ever, yet 95% of it is crap

Constantly chasing trends, like driving isekai into the dirt for the past ten years

Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a lot of good stuff out there. But, I don’t think we’ll ever see another excellent mega-series like Naturo or One Piece or Bleach again. Not when they are going to take long breaks after 10-12 hours of episodes.

  There’s nothing wrong with isekai itself.
  
  The problem is a lot of anime are just copies of other anime with a couple (minor) changes.
