>>205765744Get woke go broke
>>205765744Good riddance
>>205765744oh no not my archaic propaganda industry..
I want to have sex with Zendaya
>>205765744Must be getting expensive for blackrock and the democratic party to pay for all this propaganda.
>>205765744>The so-called peak TV era that enabled 600 scripted series to debut in a single year is over, movie theaters are still chasing pre-pandemic levels of attendance with thin release slates, and countless industry professionals have been unemployed since before the strikes began.>ProdPro also tracked studios’ spending habits, noting that they committed in the second quarter of 2024 to investing a total $11.3 billion on film and TV productions — a 39% increase from the same period in 2023, but still lagging 20% behind 2022. According to the report, data show that “returning episodic projects and mid-budget studio films” have attracted the most funding.>Films and TV series that have launched production in the second quarter of 2024 include Amazon MGM’s “Project Hail Mary,” starring Ryan Gosling and shooting in London; director Ryan Coogler’s “Grilled Cheese,” starring Michael B. Jordan and filming in New Orleans; Amazon MGM’s “Mercy,” starring Chris Pratt at Culver Studios in Los Angeles; HBO’s “Game of Thrones” spin-off “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” in Belfast; and Amazon Prime Video’s “Blade Runner 2099,” starring Michelle Yeoh and shooting in Eastern Europe.Goose and Yeoh are the last hope...
>>205765777>Get woke go brokeThe proof is in the pudding
>>205765788Now there's the modern Tiktok-X-Youtube-Twitch industry
>>205765862>blackrock and the democratic partyFink controls both parties
>>205765911>The John Wayne of our time
>>205765862They print it. Money is gatekeeping.
>>205765744>Make shit>People stop paying for it>Production & Profits decreaseHow baffling.
>>205765744Zoomers are exploring old television shows and films. They're on tiktok of course. They're playing video games (almost all mobile). They're listening to music. New tv and films are dull and simply not comparable to a 30 second clip of a girl explaining her boy troubles because it provides a space where girls can comment>YASSSand where guys can comment>Fucking mid bitch lolThe dopamine rush from this alone exceeds anything a modern film can produce in a zoomer viewer. It's genuinely, completely over for big budget productions. AI is on the way, it's gonna be neat.
>>205765744>thing is lower than the absolute highest peak it ever achieved>this means its dyingk
>shit movies>shit tv shows >shit video games>shit comic books>shit everything I'm shocked
>>205765881Just about everyone agreed that 600 series in a year was way too high and was creating all kinds of crap no one would ever watch. 40% down from that is still 360 shows a year, which is more than plenty.
>>205765744That’s because studios have realized dumping billions of dollars into original content for their streaming services has not been profitable. While shows like Penguin and Fallout have been ratings successes, they did not drive subscriber growth for Max and Prime.
>>205766582Max?
>>205766588Formerly Hulu
>>205766588Formerly Warner Watertower
>>205765744I'm fine if it dies. Also video games can die too that's fine.There's an endless amount of movies, TV shows, games etc that I have yet to watch or would enjoy rewatching. I mean I'm pretty much there, I watch about 1 new movie a year and 1 new TV show every 5 years or so. Most of the video games I play are just retreads of old stuff.
>>205766588Formerly The WB
>>205766588Formerly Maxwell Smart
>>205765744maybe they should stop casting ugly uncharismatic brown people in movies? I've noticed a subtle unspoken trend where movies do alot better when the main cast is attractive White people. Not even trying to be racist here, it just seems to pull in more people to your movie. The abandonment of attractive White people marked the begining of people referring to everything as "slop" which is interesting to me
>>205765744>>205765814What a cute skinny niglet
>>205767555>Face it, Tiger. You hit the jackpot
>>205766526I think what you are getting at is that these things zoomers are playing around with instead are more "real" than movies these days. I would attribute that to the fact that Hollywood Jews only farm writers from shitty Bay area cities and these people have a COMPLETELY unrelatable psychological compared to everyone else in the country. If they write something good and relatable, it's by complete accident. I know people say this all the time but it's unironically true that we never recovered from writers strike and now there are just no good writers anymore so zoomers are just going back in time when there were good writers working on movies and watching that at their own leisure
>>205767578SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo
>>205765744I mean i honestly can't think of a single none woke pics of western media in over 10 years aside form John Wick and even that panders to strong wyman to some extentaside form that every new show or movie is about a strong wyman, a black guy or a weak, patehtic white male comic relief character.
>>205767578Good lord... I wanna pull her up like in:>>205765814and make love
>>205767578ZAMN!
>>205765744Youtube and the internet devalued entertainment too much. The move from physical media to digital was a mistake too. Too much content creates choice paralysis. Despite having so much content we also have a distinct feeling that their is little choice because of how things work.
>>205765744But you pay more for it so they don't care.
>>205766544Forty percent is not a small drop.
>>205765881>countless industry professionals have been unemployedOh no, what a surprising outcome when millions of people join an already oversaturated industry
>>205767653>I mean i honestly can't think of a single none woke pics of western media in over 10 years
>>205765744>We'd rather go out of business than dial down wokeness to pre-2016 levels.
>>20576757880s did it better.
>>205765744Nobody cares lmaoThere are thousands of pre-2010 movies to watch.
>>20576574440%? Makes you think.
>>205765953You can't just print money whenever, dumbass. That'll fuck with the economy even more.
>>205768947Cool it with the antisemitic remarks.
Once I started noticing all the propaganda, and the subtle kind of manipulation and social engineering that was prevalent in movies stretching all the way back to the '30s, my interest in movies and TV waned despite having something like 50 TB.Can't really unsee it either.Propaganda in the newer movies and TV shows is more apparent but it's in nearly all the old Hollywood stuff too.Hollywood movies collectively can be dumped right into the trash.
>>205765744Then how about they use their market research to find out how to pander to me, a person who visited the cinema once every few years because nothing looks interesting to me
>>205769134Examples of this?
>>205765744>>205765814>10/10 in burgerlandPfffff
>>205769241https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXeHnvImcMk
>>205765744>dyingSame thing happened to books when ebooks and audiobooks came out. Then it plateaued, then books started being more popular than both again. Of a medium is going to drop when a new medium that occupies the same niche comes out, that doesn't mean the original medium is going to die out.
>>205767588what does the bay area have to do with hollywood stupid faggot lol
>>205769268It's only a 10 for broccolihairs.
Society is healing
>>205765744Because everything is filmed in Canada nowadays Nobody films in America anymore Hollywood no longer exists Canadians won.
>down 40% from the peak>won't tell you what the peak was because it would be admitting that woke shit is cancerTrump won
>>205769268>>205770293>brown hands typed these posts
>>205765744>Mary Jane is a hideous shitskin mutt Peter Parker did they cloth and it's homosexual >I wonder why this doesn't make more money
>>205765777>>205765744>produce TONS of mediocre +$100M tv shows that NOBODY watches>hollywood: "this will last forever"
>>205765777Checked, but that's only half the story. The other half is that cinema used to be a spectacle. We used to get beautiful locations that film crews had to travel to film, mind blowing sets, death defying stunts performed by actual people instead of computer graphics etc. We got to enjoy the action on the screen but also appreciated that the making of the movie was an adventure in itself which affects us on a subconscious level. Nobody is paying to watch video game cutscenes with real actors awkwardly pasted in.
>>205765814you're brown
>>205769281no, this is a consequence of the streaming platforms plateau because they were trying to do the same thing Amazon did with books
>>205765814You can go to Mexico and find average girls hotter than her though? I just don't understand your zoomer generation.
>>205765814you might be the only one in the thread
>>205770966HBO's output it such a fucking joke now. They used to be "prestige" television but they're barely above basic cable in their offerings now.
>>205770966they finally made this thing?
>>205770966I absolutely refuse to believe the budgets on TV shows like that. Even shows like Rings of Power, there is no fucking way they spent that much.
>>205771061Nope:>>205767578
>>205770959KekkeekekCheck this retarded chud out....That film made almost 2 billion dollars, super expert.
>>205770959
>>205771057Kek, busted:>>205770881
>>205765744>never let millennial white males sell a script or break in to the industry>bitter boomers and gen x cling to their irrelevant careers and make absolute dogshit>force diversity slop into everything, greenlight awful trash written by nonwhites and women for virtue signaling pointsWow, I guess if you never have turnover in an industry and never admit fresh blood into the system... it dies.
>>205770881>racemixing is such an essential component of l american culture that if you don't like a mutt they assume you are just another mutt
>>205765953Even for people with a money printer keeping companies like Disney afloat for years at a time gets expensive. What's funny is that Fink wrote a letter to CEOs basically telling them that the era of the customer being the source of money for large corporations was over, and encouraging them all to essentially jocky for government patronage, and that they could basically just cruise on low interest loans forever without needing to make a profit again in our lifetimes. This is obviously retarded, and a lot of companies are going to shit the bed when the fed rates go up over the next few years.
>>205772282It's amazing how bad the generational talent gap is in writing across all mediums. Anecdote from a guy who works in publishing I know, print bookstores are obviously a dying thing to begin with, but genre fiction is struggling really badly outside of the old big names like King. White and Asian male authors also won't play ball anymore because they always get lowballed even if they get an offer. I was told that they had a 20 something kid they wanted to send a $10k advance to for a book, and he told them to eat shit because his patreon made almost that much per month. Meanwhile some nobody black gay woman will get $50k for some slop that will sell a few hundred copies nationally.
>>205772410Congratulations on being a purebred Mexican
>>205765814Why?
>>205772569I notice there are many young wannabe writers who haven't left their room. That's a recipe for disaster.
>>205770983The boomer generation of film industry ruined filmmaking by making everything cheap and easy to produce from the comfort of their homes. They were the ones who pushed hard for digital cgi tech and consolidation of studios into MNCs. 2 things that ruined films forever. There is no reverse gear now
>>205765931this is the future you chose
>>205767885>>205767612>>205768238It's ai you garbage munching niggers
>>205770683the peak will have been when everyone was spamming money to try to be the biggest streaming service. it was never financially sustainable anyway.
>>205772569I don't get it, you say there's a talent gap and then detail how the most talented writers are explicitly being discriminated against. I would say there's a competence gap between previous generations of gatekeepers and now. Most younger agents, managers and assistants haven't been hired on merit and are generally complete fucking idiots. These are the people we're expecting to recognize great work?
>>205767578Indian levels of airbrush
>>205773083It's AI you fucking nigger
>>205772569>Meanwhile some nobody black gay woman will get $50k for some slop that will sell a few hundred copies nationally.That can't be financially viable. They're wasting money on people who can't sell books. Are they trying to go under?
>>205765744Shows are better these days. Movies just don't have enough time for proper character development anymore despite being twice as long as they used to be.
>>205772282
>>205773221>reading YA by a female author and not expecting a love triangle between a random hot guy she barely knows and her lifelong partner??????
>>205773372But why did she fuck that guy she barely knew instead of the guy she's been with for years? And then give a dumbass reason for it?
>>205765814>>205771061She looks like my high school crush in spiderman so I would too.
>>205772622Because slender women are pure sex
>>205765744>make wokeass garbage and treat writers/white males/talent like shit>suddenly lose 40%+ of market base (whites are 50%ish of country)>Now get infinitely curbstomped by 58sec reelsAmazing
>>205765814That makes one of us>there are hotter slags at the getty mart
>>205772429To be fair, that Fink guy probably saw the example somewhere else. In my country there are only 5 big media companies and they're running purely on government's money for like two decades now. These companies barely got an audience anymore because people are on youtube and tiktok, but the government here still puts almost 2 billion dollars each year on them.
>>205765777They just need to keep making movies and TV shows starring niggers. I'm sure it will eventually pay off.
>>205765744Why didn't they make good shows and films instead of choosing to make bad ones no one wanted?
>>205768347The last two movies are extreme levels of girlboss.You're so steeped in pozz that you can't even recognise it anymore.
>>205765953It's basically a pension fund management company.It's our money they waste of this shit.
>>205765744>Take existing IP and completely change the story>Insert girlboss characters>Don't pander to the male gaze>Make shows with no sex appeal, hetero friendships or hetero white romance. >Insert as many offputting LGBT characters as possibleHow can this formula ever fail? When your media appeals to nobody, it appeals to everyone!
>>205765777>Get woke go brokeWhich is bullshit. All the top-grossing movies are woke. Gaming is now bigger than film+music combined and is woke.
>>205777359>Turds that float to the top are the best!When there is no competition top shit is still shit.The top grossing films of all time are 10 to 20 years old and if you adjust for inflation the top of the list is dominated by gone with the wind, the sound of music and a bunch of other stuff 30 + years old.
>>205767578I had a girlfriend that kind of looked like “make-up on Zendaya”
>>205778506>bragging about an ugly exCool cool
>>205767578>>205767612>>205768238>>205768465>>205773083>>205778506It's AI you dipshits. Her IRL appearance is dreadful. She has zero boobs, lacks child-bearing hips, and is cursed with man-ass like Margaret Qualley. She's a walking stick with no personality whatsoever, propped up by the deep state to push interracial propaganda upon guilt-tripped white liberals. Get better taste.
>>205777359>Gaming is now bigger>ignores the numerous Westoid flops from this year alone
>>205765744It's literally over for them. In a few years everything will just be a generated special effect. The only real life productions will be react videos on Youtube.
>>205765744I have no media subscriptions, no cable, and I have not been to a theater since 2015I will continue this trend
>>205765744I only watch anime.
Videogames won?
>>205781465speaking of dying mediumsall the good anime came out 15+ years ago
>>205780521Good morningNumerous Westtoid. What mean this
>>205782160Yeah, but the Japanese are exporting more than ever
>>205782160Where the fuck is Frieren Season 2?
>>205782160Meh, good manga still sells and good anime does well. However, economic pressure and greed have lead to less and less BigBudget releases. Sadly - stuff like Redline or Vampire Hunter D (2000) came out too soon - so the studios invested bigly and made masterpieces......but poor marketing and domestic-only releases gave the appearance of "big budget productions = risky'
It's California and NY killing their cash cow with taxes and bullshit beaurocracy, isn't it? I thought in all other states they're picking up what isn't offshored to canada and the industries are slowing growing?Animation is going to india/China, I guess.
>>205784800>good manga still sellslolwhat good manga? much like with anime, there are very few good new series coming out
>>205784800Vampire hunter D bloodlust is so fucking goodI should rewatch it.
it's over
>>205785055nuHollywood execs legitimately think they can "change culture" with WOKE bullshit. Add that to two major writer strikes (and walkoffs/firings).....and voila - jews shot themselves in the face. >I've actually seen classic lit trending on TikTok as well as classic cinema Like, who the fuck is gonna watch 2hours of garbage over a 55sec hilarious reel? No one.
>>205765744There was a series of fact-based articles in The Wrap I think a few months ago showing that Hollywood's shrinking at a fast pace. Wokeness killed thousands of jobs at both the talent and technical levels
>>205765744tiktoks are the future of media
>>205785111Indeed, but that is more a result of economics/reservations in Japan vs the West where it's literal suicide for DEI bux>if you work in nuHollywood at all you should prob consider other career paths unless you are rich
>>205765744>spread movies and shows over a dozen expensive streaming services>new stuff is hot garbage>people stop watching it because they have decades worthy of backlogs
>>205785055>Animation is going to india/China, I guess.anon it had already mostly gone to Asia by the 80s.
>>205766572>more than plentyThen why do I have nothing good to watch?
>>205765744>Disney Removes ‘Star Wars’ Movie From 2026 Slate, Replaced by ‘Ice Age 6’ https://variety.com/2024/film/news/star-wars-removed-2026-ice-age-6-1236211852/
>>205785640That Rey trilogy coming any day now. Just like Rian Johnsons. And Taika David Cohens.
>>205785733It's all crumbling down. I assume that means major changes because all planned (so to speak) SW projects have now been scrapped
>>205785804Wait, wasn't the Mandalorian movie coming out in 2026? God I hope it's cancelled. Fuck Filoni and baby yoda.
>>205786028It's all in disarray as is the MCU. Perhaps all past projects have been discarded while they revamp/sanitize Disney at several levels. After Agatha/Acolyte flopping and being ridiculed so much there's a general perception of a cycle that self-destructed and they have to start over with better choices and more talented people.
streaming just makes less money
