I don’t accept the premise that a CGI heavy movie can’t be good

2023 Mario pisses over the 90s one

2023 D&D pisses over the previous efforts combined

(And that’s before we look at the evolution of TV series both on traditional TV and streaming services.)

What I would agree on though is that there’s an over investment in franchises - but there’s obvious a market for endless Marvel and DC and Minions type films so 🤷‍♂️
