The last five and from the looks of it the next three Pixar releases have the exact same tone and energy as picrel and I for one am sick of it. Remember Woody telling Buzz to shut up? Hoppers death? Sully almost getting choked to death in Monsters Inc? The massive body count in The Incredibles? These movies used to have a late 90s/early 2000s edge to them. Now they're just...soft. Where did this begin? With UP?

Fuck 'em. Let's make our own "problematic" entertainment. With pirated Megadeth music.

The 2008 Global Financial Crisis made studio executives increasingly risk-averse and that sense of avoiding risk trickled down into general production culture. This happened almost simultaneously with the release of the smartphone, which over the next several years would grow to become an almost ubiquitous device, giving everyone on Earth constant internet access. This both made people terrified of acting too much out of line IRL because someone could record it and share it online, and also made people afraid to step too far out of line on the internet out of a fear of some kind of purity mob descending upon them, and as maximal saturation began to blur the lines between the internet and real life people increasingly saw stepping out of line in any capacity damaging their looks both online and IRL.

The result is people terrified to push boundaries and studios having no desire to promote them being pushed.
