Comment on Brandon Sanderson's theory on why the film industry is floundering (YouTube Short)
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 2 months agoI mean, TV series have pretty much become that. I just wish there were more mini-series that are self-contained instead of promising stories fizzling out by season 5 or getting canceled prematurely.

Movies are too long for one sitting and I find they condense the story to the point it is skimming the surface. TV shows and miniseries are able to flesh out worlds and characters over hours, not minutes. They just need to write the stories beforehand so the season creep doesn’t start. Make a sequel if you need to do more seasons or tell a different story in the same universe.
