Comment on Indie movies are having a surprising comeback in a bleak time for Hollywood

I think people are just tired of having their nostalgia sold back to them in the form of cinematic slop meant to generate quick profits.
I’m so tired of the long Marvel franchises and reboots and remakes from the past 40 years. At least the people making indie movies are coming up with original scenarios and stories that are new and interesting. They’re a lot more fun and engaging to watch than Fast and Furious 27 and the 48th Marvel superhero franchise movie or another remake/reboot of some movie I watched back in the 90’s that was already very good and was obviously brought back to make money off of my attachment to the original characters/movies.
And don’t forget that they’re not even good. Like, the CGI looks bad, the writing is bad even for action movies, the acting is weird.
It’s a simulacrum of entertainment. Why would I pay 20€ for that?
And on that note, why 20€ for a movie that shows very clearly that hardly any money went into actually making a good movie?

Think of how much fun Marvel could have been if they just paused on them for 8 years or so. Of they star wars’d it and made people begin to miss marvel movies again. Avengers won, Thanos is gone, and then nothing. Then 8 to 10 years later suddenly a sudden reveal, you see someone picking up the mantle, people would freak out. Instead we’re all bored of them.

You do know they will do both, right? They will flog the dead horse into the ground. Then stop when its not making money. Nthen reboot it once enough time has passed.
