why did we stop making fun action franchises? Everything today is capeshit or wokeslop. Going back to the media of the 90's and 2000's feels like a completely different world.

>>219336380The studio ecosystem that allowed mid-tier movies to exist and be profitable essentially got swallowed up by streaming servicesAnyone with the technical capability to make a movie on the level of The Transporter is making a movie for Netflix that no one will watch but guarantees a paycheck, rather than trying to squeeze money from the ever-shrinking pool of people willing to go to a movie theater

>>2193363809/11 resulted in a cultural shift towards "dark and gritty realism," exemplified by Bourne and its knock-offs. When that fad ended it was replaced by either the mass shooter retardation of the John Wick movies, where the hero has no personality and just walks around shooting 100 people in every movie, or the reddit retardation of movies like Nobody, where it's all a big joke. Nobody knows how to balance seriousness with humor because that actually takes talent.
