Writers are either poor or retarded to work in Hollywood. It's the most embarrassing creative outlet in the world.

It's funny how theatre writers are given so much power and prestige while in Hollywood they're treated like sweatshop employees

After Terminator Dark Fate, BvS, MoS, TDKR and Blade 3 I would reject a script from Goyer too. Blade was cool for the action and Snipes not his shitty writing. Even the most memorable dialogue lines were from Snipes.

How in God's name has everything gone off the rails so severely at MCU? Not that I care because I'm over capeshit but once Fantastic 4 flops their long term prospects for the franchise are going to be in the toilet.

Disney mandated they try to cash in on the brand by pumping out 50 different streaming shows and other slop when Feige wanted to take a 5 year break after Endgame.

I don't know about sweatshop but the direction of a Marvel movie script seems to be in way more hands than usual, hence why Edgar Wright left Ant-Man, the original director chosen for...:Captain Marvel I think was told that the movie fights had already been done in Previsualization and she didn't have to worry about those, so of course she did not pursue the project.

Bob Iger retired and Disney was left rudderless. There's a reason they brought him back just a few years later.

the Minecraft movie had the writer as TBD in the workprint that was like 90% done. these types of movies are made by committee and then they just get some schmuck to attack their name to it.

Really, it's a combination of a lot of things
>"we can fix it in post" mentality that leads to them barely giving a shit about scripts and sometimes going into production without a finished script
>their belief that throwing more money at projects = more success despite the fact a lot of fans would be ok with smaller budget movies and in fact Spider-Man fans are actively asking for a small-scale street level movie
>overconfidence brought about by their earlier successes which made them think they could do anything and it would make billions, which directly leads into:
>falling for the "representation" meme both in front and behind the camera despite the fact their movies were at their most succesful when they were written, directed and starred white men

they turned him down because they wanted a PG-13 movie instead of an R rated one and nobody wants to watch a castrated version of Blade

They fired Edgar Wright from Ant-Man because he was shooting it in his own idiosyncratic way, which Kevin Feige et cetera did not want. They wanted a cookie cutter movie that they could easily adjust after test screenings. The way somebody like Edgar shoots things makes a movie WAY harder to adjust or re-edit.

I was cautiously optimistic when they said it was like a 60s retro futurist thing and showed some concept art, but then the casting killed any enthusiasm I had. I don't think anyone asked for Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic. I'm just not interested. Hopefully by the time it comes out next year they've figured some shit out but god damn.

>Star Wars lit a hundred fires that needed a lot of attention
>d+ launched without proper coordination and needed a lot of attention
>increased profits meant that investors were calling for constant growth
>to appeal to a wide audience (and satisfy diversity shit) they hired a shit ton of writers/personnel who were just nepo twats that ticked a box but were untalented
>covid fucked the company up and this new generation of idiots were tasked with unfucking the ship
Everything just kind of hit all at once and they were hilariously unprepared.

If you're bored you should watch The Studio. It highlights the problem that hollywood knows about and thinks it can't solve because business vs art. But it also accidentally highlights the problem that they can't see which is that they don't even consider looking for new talent (keyword: talent) and that whenever they're talking about quality vs profit, they're always focused on whether or not to give money to someone established who's received critical acclaim before.

The theme of MCU production is to film everything as generically as possible to make micromanaging the post production as cheap and easy as possible. Like they literally went "we need to be able to change the wall and gun if the audience responds poorly in the test screening" and CGI placeholder props are what you want for that.

Not just the fights. Up to 80% of these movies are already done in previs before they even bring in a director. The directors job for Marvel's movies is only to direct the actors.

the original movie idea was apperently about some girl resucing steve from the ender dragon and was going to feature some "overcoming depression" theme.
I think that was all dropped after the original producer killed herself.

Marvel Rivals showed that F4 can work and be super popular.
You just have to be faithful and not woke with it.
Actually let Mr F be the smart husband and leader, actually lead Johnny be the cool playboy.
Actually led Sue be the loving mother and wife.
Actually led Ben be the carrying tough guy with a heart of gold / comic relief.

A massive radical feminist takeover has ruined Disney.
They were always geared towards little girls but when the Me Too movement dropped and feminism went into overdrive they took over companies like Disney and Sony and now it's impossible to remove them and they will burn everything to the ground rather than stand aside.

Dogshit writers and them pumping out even more TV shows and movies that aren't allowed to have any substance certainly didn't help.
You have people who just want to oush their own ideas and agendas without any actual care about the IP, and eventually people just get fed up of it.

Quantumania is like the perfect example, where you have Ant-man starting and ending in the exact same place. Everything that happens in that movie is filler.
And then you have smaller projects that have people who care about the IP but won't do well simply due to the lack of customers who give a shit - like Moon Knight and Werewolf by Night. Unironically pretty decent, Werewolf by Night had some interesting cinemactic shit going on, but how many people is it really going to draw to the platform?

Ok imagine this. You buy some of the biggest media names for an entire generation of nerds, dorks and geeks. Like this shit literally shaped their youth, they are practically religious zealots that obsess over this shit.
You got it?
Perfect.
Now put in charge women who hate nerds and think that their fantasies are because of a made up toxic masculinity instead of an outlet of escapism due to a whole life of feeling weak, emasculated and that they don't belong anywhere else.

Perfect, you now have modern Disney. A bunch of retards.

As long as the white man does not enjoy the product, it will be considered a success. Regardless if it makes a profit or not.
