Honestly, for years I’ve been saying “Hollywood is dead”. What I mean by that, is back in the day when people had nothing what to do for entertainment, they went to the movies. It was an event, and if you didn’t see the movie while it was in theaters, you had to wait months for it to be released on video to be in the know about a film. It was a thing to keep up with all the glitz and glammor of the celebs. As content changed, today’s younger crowd are not into movies or the life of the actors. Now, kids could care less and look more towards instagram content creators, not to mention have zero attention span. They see most movies in clips on tik tok.
I had a convo similar to this with a friend and told him the same thing, young ppl don’t care about Hollywood (nor should they) and told him I bet my 20 year old niece doesnt even know who (I can’t remember who it was but it was a big a list star with a great career. Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt or something along those lines) is. I asked her, she had no clue who i was taking about. I’m in my 30s.
Anyways, the industry needs to figure out how to lower its budgets to become profitable again I feel. I’m ok with it dying, too much content to consume these days it’s hard for me to get excited to see acting, let a alone most of it seems phoned in.

Imho mainly American movies and TV Shows. Some countries with banger shows and movies:
I think that Hollywood mainly lost two things:
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:
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.
