Calling Hollywood stagnant can usually be done with a degree of safety, but doing so as a fan of anime? The whole industry is built around compromise and pandering to NEETs.
Gotta agree tbh, I'm not a huge anime fan, but I only see like 1 movie a year, and that's for films that I feel like I should see, for example Fantastic Beasts. It's extremely rare that I see a trailer and
think "wow I gotta see this".
My issue is that for pretty much every movie I extremely enjoy the first half, which involves all the world building and character development, but then when it comes time for the plot to develop it often falls flat on its face. I always come out of the cinema with loads of issues of how the latter half of the movie was handled but I often really enjoy the introduction. A few examples of this: Fifth Element, Fight Club, Blade Runner are some extreme examples for me
Also the movies which everyone seems to love often fall flat on their face to me. One big example is Interstellar, which I honestly did not enjoy in the slightest.
I just don't get the hype at all, additionally I don't enjoy comic book movies often either with few exceptions so I don't get that either.
I've never actually met anyone who is genuinely enthusiastic about seeing new movies, when I go to the cinema it's always completely dead. I think people like TV more now
I'm still excited for the comic based movies because I'm too much of a retard to even bother reading through the various multiverses for any comic brand.
Sorry, the Hard R movies that sold toys to kids was the golden age. Late 80s and early 90s where Robocop was the law and Aliens kept you freaked out whenever Dad did the claw gag.

This guy posts to /r/anime, a sub dedicated to a medium that probably has more schoolgirl-themed products than the entire global porn industry.

More of just shows in general right?

My dad took me to see Full Metal Jacket in the theatre. I was 12 years old. That shit was awesome.
