Yesterday penguinz0 made a video about the current state of modern blockbusters and its something I think would be interesting to discuss here. In my opinion it would be for the best if the MCU was put out to pasture and the Disney monopoly was broken up.

It seems like more and more blockbusters have the sane tone, the same style and the same direction. Its like they are written and directed by the same handful of people. The Flash, Indiana Jones 5, and Ant Man 5 all felt like they had the same writers and directors. I place a lot of the blame for this on Disney. Ever since Disney Plus launched everything marvel put out has been so paint by numbers.

What do you all think. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

    The current mainstream movie scene sucks. I’ve stopped watching most of it because it sounds like something I’ve seen already, the whole MCU ended with Endgame for me (and even that was just to have some closure, not because I enjoyed it). I don’t think there’s any movie other than Dune coming this year, that I’m excited about.

      Yeah. If you want advice on how to find out about good movies try following the Oscar race. Usually the selection of contenders is always pretty strong and is different from mainstream offerings.
