What happened to casting buff dudes in cheesy action/fantasy flicks?
>>
>>222503108
Women took over.

>>222503108
Men aren't allowed to have strong, handsome, capable role models anymore. Just morally grey moderately in shape antiheroes, fat jews, skinny twinks, and millennial dialogue superheroes in bad costumes

What the fuck are you talking about man, you just had roided up Spiderman

>>222503205
You mean the effete little 5'5 twink Tom Holland? Emasculated and dominated by a wretched mulatto? That spiderman?

>What happened to..

They stopped making movies. The "mid-budget" action-adventure film ahs more or less died out. Most genres have died out. A few horror films remain. But you should know that films are literally dying and being replaced with algo slop and social media feeds. The reamining films are in two camps:

>theaters

These are super hero films. These are big budget. Or they're low -budget horror films.

>streaming

These are cheaply made (but still cost millions), and they tend to follow whatever algos want, and tend to focus on what women want.

If you made any of these old films, they would cost 350 million dollars to make. Labor costs and visual effects have just made it impossible to make them for a simple budget.

>just hire people in suits and costumes

There's massive liability issues with stunt-work now. So that's why most films avoid them like the plague. That's why they prefer CGI for everything, including people now. Also for speed.

You could only do massive scenes with hundreds or thousands of extras in places like Philippines or Thailand or something. You can't do that in America or Europe anymore.

So this is impossible now. Many, many, many, things are impossible now. Anything that's made has to be CGI'd to hell and back.

>Why hire a thousand extras when you can just create them in a computer!

This is why you get green screen hellscapes and the worlds look both fake and very tiny.

You can't have some hero going on an adventure for a few million. It has to be CGI.

This is for what CAN be made by today's budget. I think OP and others have to accept that "films" are just fucking DEAD. It's a dying art form and it gets smaller and smaller each year. The average woman spends like 7 hours on the phone each day.

Which is going to bring in more money? 7 hours a day activity or seeing a film twice a year?

Nothing.

I'm not watching the odyssey or any modern screen product because they're all the same center focus sludge. It's much, much order of magnitude worse than being woke. They're not movies anymore just as you say, it's some kind of stabilized VR footage for tiktok brain.

The lack of facility with a whole shot and the reborn disconnect between actor and background have driven skill levels back to a 1950s level in terms of real output. Only modern sound design of explosions and grunts, modern "kinetic" flashing lights and use of darkness distinguishes it from the sloppa gloppa early color and early TV.

You sound gay

>>222503170
Yep these flics almost always had a damsel in distress, and that isn't allowed. It's the GirlBoss era.
