Bond dies lol

The mid-90s is unironically the peak of human existence. Also, Dana Scully is still the hottest cop ever to be on TV

Eh, hollywood is basically peak soybrain, they didn't just think the message made them money, but are the ones promoting the message. Plus there seem to be no good writers left in the studio system, its all just Alex Kurtzman-tier.

Yeah, people thinking this is some kind of calculated move by studio execs trying to use progressivism to cover for other aspects of their game/movie etc. being shit is wishful thinking. Simple fact of the matter is that most movie studios/production companies are located in cultural hotbeds - California, London, Mumbai... At some point you gotta ask yourself if it's the studio execs cynically using what was less than a decade ago pretty fringe thought and movements for uncertain monetary gain, or of it's the producers, directors, writers, actors, supporting staff etc. living in the most progressive cities in the world who genuinely believe this shit and it's reflected in their work.

This is also part of the reason why there will never be a huge amount of creativity in these industries - despite increasing global homogenization, it's undeniable culture still has strong localized ties. As long as movies keep coming out of the same places, they won't have the variety you might want, even foreign ones (even French or Indian or Romanian movie people live in the biggest cities in their country, often studied abroad, consume western art and are heavily influenced by western thought).

Music is a great example, thanks to a low barier of entry, it can come from anywhere, and if you penetrate just a little deeper than the mainstream, you'll find a ton of variety and "diversity".

These big franchises start animating the big dumb action scenes literally before they have a finished scrip or even a director, who then basically have to make the movie around those scenes, which explains why the action scenes are so disconnected from the plot scenes nowadays.

FWIW this is one thing I don't agree with - the action scenes are disconnected, they're often shot by second unit (basically a different director and often even crew), but they're not necessarily made before the movie, at least not in the big blockbusters, maybe in the martial art stuff where action carries the movie.

It probably has something to do with a deconstruction being the literary equivalent of pissing on your face, so even an idiot could get the “meaning” behind it.
