Same here, Hollywood's rapid decay has made me seriously consider becoming a writer and I don't think that's gonna change soon. At first I used to absolutely admire American content, some works seemed so original and full of passion but ever since the decay started I decided to take refuge in non-american content, however I don't think that's going to last long since American entertainment companies are starting to extend their influence onto profitable foreign entertainment industries... and it's showing more and more as time passes

That's why Barbie was made in the first place, because it's already an excisting "franchise", with numerous movies. There even plans to make movies with HotWheels, Rock'emSock'em Robots, He-Man and other already existing franchises. Apparantly there is even a plan to make a movie about Uno, the card game.

If modern Hollywood were to completely collapse and all those "celebrities" were out of work, America would start to improve.

[@kawffeytheinkredible3295]

No it wouldn’t… the internet still exists.

[@TwoBs]

@@kawffeytheinkredible3295 The internet has its negatives, but there are also many positives that I am sure many of you would not be so willing to give up at the drop of a hat. It’s only as bad as it is now because of people craving attention to become a Z-tier celebrity. Take away the celebrity statuses as a whole that Hollywood has cultivated and consider it utterly useless, and things could actually work out for the better in the long run (as nothing will magically be better overnight). If Hollyweird did collapse and celebrities somehow magically lost work, their relevancy would start to dwindle. Yes, it would remain on the internet … but only for a short period of time until they become less and less known as they’re not doing anything that made them relevant in the first place. That recognition won’t just transfer to the internet and remain forever. It _will_ fade. The only reason they have any relevancy online right now is because of their celebrity status … take their coveted status away, they’re no more important than a regular run of the mill “influencer” that is currently famous for their doings online. However … With the celebrity status crumbling, it would also trickle down to those who have the supposed “influencer” status as the two kind of cross anymore in the modern era. Influencers only become popular because they do the most and act extra to be known for the celebrity status. If society no longer has celebrities in the realm of Hollywood, what those influencers clamor for could also potentially fade, as well. There’d be no point for them to be “influencers” - there’d be no Hollywood to scoop them up and prolong their short-lived internet careers. They’d die out just as quickly as they’d gain any traction because society’s mentality towards celebrities as a whole over time (if there was to be a collapse) would cease to be anything worth longing for… Essentially, it could create a much needed domino effect. Wouldn’t be overnight. Wouldn’t be in a couple of years, either, but it could drip down and have an effect on the internet culture as a whole over a period of time. That much is a given with how much they influence things now. Take away their number one means to influence … and it can potentially bring about a better future down the line for everything, including the internet. You gotta’ start thinking bigger.

I was watching a video "10 things you didn't know about John Wick" last night. Something struck me very oddly when I watched the video. One thing was that almost every studio turned down the distribution of the movie, the movie almost went into direct to DVD. During a screening one of the studios walked out. I was thinking to myself that this might be because the movie only cost 20 million dollars in a time where movies regularly cost over 100 to 200 million dollars, and the studios were either embarrassed a good movie could be made for 20 million dollars, or afraid it could, which would jeopardize their jobs and fat paychecks. I thought that they were simply gatekeeping the industry against competition that could created a good product for a lot less. What you say in this video supports my belief.

This question has been plaguing me for years: "Why is Disney making stuff that doesn't make money?". The amount of cognitive dissonance I feel whenever I first catch sight of whatever garbage they're about to release is borderline debilitating. And, I doubt I'm alone in that. I was born in 1987 and the Disney I grew up with is a far cry to what it has become today. If you remember the Eisner days, you'll recall that EVERYTHING they put out not only brought massive returns, but also became part of the collective cultural canon. My family took vacations to the various Disney parks, where every minute detail has been triple-checked by committee - even down to where they place trash cans. The Disney I grew up with didn't make mistakes. Everything they did was guaranteed to hit because anything else would've been detrimental to their ultimate goal: To make as much fucking money as was humanly possible, and then make some more. The formula to achieve that goal is terribly simple: Put out good product, people buy it, repeat. Arguments about morality, economics and/or business ethics notwithstanding, this should be the goal of any organization. And, for a time, Disney bore the standard. Hell, they designed the standard. Which is why I wrestle not only with accepting what they and other media empires have now become - as outlined in this video - but also the fact that they've maintained any modicum of cultural relevance/legitimacy. Not because the methods employed are difficult to comprehend, but because their goal has shifted from one so simple as making lots of money to one that's unclear and seemingly nefarious.

Its not surprising how 6 companies owning everything can lack so much creativity. There's no competition in the market. Even worse, the people working for them are forced to walk in lockstep with their MESSAGE or see the door. Diversity of identity, but a massive lack of diversity of thought.

[@jackstraw4222]

its just the way the companies want it...what really gets me is why it didnt happen earlier...maybe 20yrs ago...

[@TheMegaultrachicken]

If all the selfish greedy people in those companies could take away people's individual minds and sense of self and turn them into work drones they definitely would. Our minds are of no use to them, only the bodies are.

[@Rondogz]

media is always the best way to influence the masses. they originally wrote the captain america comics as WW2 propoganda. also they like to drip feed information to the public before things become more mainstream. i remember when C19 got announced and the next day netflix releases a documentary titled "pandemic: how to prevent an outbreak" which would of taken a year or so prior to make. so they must have known something about the pandemic in 2019 lol

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

The pandemic was announced in January? The first case was identified in December 2019. C19 was declared a pandemic on January 30th, 2020. The Netflix miniseries was released on January 22, 2020.

[@Rondogz]

@@user-vi4xy1jw7e at the time im sure no one knew about the early cases. Its not until it becomes a global pandemic is when they start investigating the earlier ones. My point is at the time most people including myself didnt know about the 2019 cases until it was on the news in 2020.

[@Anthony-kp7sf]

man there is no drip feeding. i want you to google "men are not bad" and tell me what shows up. there are certain things that you literally cannot find an opinion for on the internet which makes NO SENSE. coupled with that is severe propaganda coming out of hollywood bolstering everything that google tells you is true. it is BAD right now. entire words are being re-defined, LITERALLY. because of "reputable sources" on google. the entire process of actually vetting opinions is gone, and hollywood has so much to do with this. their art is not even good, its not even what people want anymore its simply all that people are allowed to consume without being ostracized by society, or worse. that is so f***ing tragic, honestly. i never thought id see the day when the US just completely fails artistically. i honestly blame hollywood, politicians, and social media..

[@tumultoustortellini]

I don't think predictive programming has any credibility. Some random guy back in the 40s (mid 20th century generally, since I don't quite remember the year) wrote a book about pandemic in the 2020s called coronavirus. He was literally right, but that doesn't mean he was setting things up or was giving people real info he believed in. I mean, think about it, how much of predictive programming is things being influenced by culture (was 2001 predicted, or did they do it that way because they saw the idea in media, like a self-fulfilling prophecy), or things commonly being constantly in culture finally finding something real to root on to (that book I said before, and this documentary you mentioned).

[@moupou3443]

[@NrgBuster]

Another huge thing taking a chunk out of of the Hollywood propaganda machine is alternative media like KZbin and Tiktok. Small individual creators can make whatever content they want and find audiences, and while it might not be as big a draw as properly produced shows and movies, it's enough to pull people away for a little while from Hollywood. And we can't forget overseas entertainment. I watch and read more anime and manga than I do anything being made here in the west these days

[@ContendCreators]

As a 32 year old man, my only trips to the movies this year have been to watch the rereleases of the Studio Ghibli films. These are films that despite being marketed towards children, don't talk down to their audience, don't beat you over the head with propoganda, and deliberately want you to be entertained and maintain your sense of wonderment and imagination. Something Disney forgot about 15 years ago. *Update- I didn't realize my mentioning of fucking Studio Ghibli would be so triggering to some of you. Yes, movies have messages. Yes, Princess Mononoke is environmentalist. Yes, Poco Roso is anti-facist (the Italian kind). Graveyard of the Fireflies is one of the most anti-war movies out there. Movies are allowed to have messages, they can dive into political areas, but they can also be done SUBTLEY and without political division. These movies don't beat you over the head with their agenda or call you and -ist or -phobe if you disagree with them. They're stories first and foremost.

[@Forest4TheTreez]

Stanley Kubrick directed the moon landings. Kubrick met with NASA in 1965. Walt Disney also worked with NASA. Werner Van Braun, the NAZI scientist was a founder of NASA. Go research what was written on his tombstone. Rockefeller owned NBC/UNIVERSAL PICTURES faked the spinning globe earth long before NASA faked going to space. How did Hollywood know what the earth looked like before NASA? In 1927 the globe earth image appeared before the start of universal pictures films and has continued ever since. It’s called predictive programming. Hollywood is a predictive programming and propaganda machine disguised as harmless entertainment. Entertainment; to enter and obtain the mind. The first “official globe image” from NASA came in 1972. The point is that Hollywood and NASA are one and the same. Do you still believe you are descendants of monkeys living on a tilting, wobbling spinning space ball hurtling at unimaginable speeds through an infinite universe? Ifers•forumotion• End the link how most others are ended and go there to discover information that is hidden, suppressed and censored.

[@RobertDrane]

Ghibli is hella propagandistic. Miyazaki said about the release of Princess Mononoke something to the effect of "I wanted to make a movie that angered Americans", so you can't even say its just vaguely environmentally conscious. 99% chance if someone is complaining about the message of a movie these days its going to be due to the diverging social moraise between Americans with liberal arts degrees (who make most consumer media) and those without them, which is super frustrating to those who have them (or at least dropped out) because we were taught that everything has a message, whereas in public school you're only ever taught to believe what you're told - so naturally those people probably feel like they're being given commands from their media and not just being offered perspectives. Hope that makes sense anyway.

"swallows up creativity and talent" 100% I was thinking the reason we see remakes and sequels, rather than anything new, isn't because we're unable to create anything new, but because they're holding onto their power as long as they can, refusing to let anyone else continue, even if it's worse for everyone.

We need more A24s, more indie producers, more indie film makers And sadly this can be said to any creative industry right now in gaming we need more indie devs, in fashion we need more indie brands … Everything just drained by big companies who didn’t hesitate to sacrifice creativity for a little bit more profit

[@CoqueiroLendario]

At least in gaming we do have a lot of indies getting space and deserved attention, with movies the medium is way more tight so its hard for an indie studio to show their capabilities.

[@ardagenc4674]

@@CoqueiroLendario Yeah agree in gaming indies have more chance. I think it relates to the number of people to develop a game vs a movie and the monetization afterwards A 3 people indie studio can create stunning games however in filming you will need more people and after the game development you can earn more if it was successful compared to filming where it will probably make you famous creating opportunities for your upcoming movies
