    At the beginning of the MCU the biggest movies were the Michael Bay Transformers films. Superhero movies didn’t kill creativity in film. That was already dead. They just stepped into the void that was left behind.

      We’ve had capeslop movies for more than a decade now, nearly 2 decades. An entire generation of humans where the biggest thing in theaters is capeslop movie #1173

      I also remember it taking years and years for MCU to build up. Avengers didn’t happen until 4 years after Ironman, and there were still great movies being released.

      I guess this is pointing at the death of Hollywood from different directions, especially now with streaming services. It’s really unfortunate since foreign films prove that it’s still possible to create incredible movies. It’s just Hollywood wants more growth… The same amount of profit is failure…
