Andre Einherjar of Midnight's Edge is an interesting critic of Hollywood, in part because he sees Hollywood from Europe.
Deadline, the Hollywood magazine/news organization, is bemoaning the fact that American cinema isn't as popular and influential as it was a decade ago. As the studios decided to push DEI, which no one wants, audiences are disappearing. Why? Well it is Trump's fault of course, because Orange Man Bad, or something.
This is Andre Einherjar's video Report: Hollywood "Losing Influence" in Global Mainstream Culture - Here's why!
The old Soviet Union imploded for many reasons, but a major one was that they didn't let consumer demand dictate production, since they let what the powers that be thought the people should have decide what got made. That in the end helped usher in a collapse.
Hollywood has been doing something similar for years now. Rather than making the movies the audiences of the world actually wants and demands, they pushed out ideologically driven drivel they thought audiences should have, but the audience weren't having it.
It is a 21 minute video, but I found it interesting.
You can find the Deadline article at this link. Hollywood Is “Losing Its Symbolic Value” In Global Mainstream Culture, According To The Latest Nostradamus Report – Karlovy Vary. It isn't very good, for the reasons enumerated by Andre in his video. It seems to miss the point of why people are not interested in The Marvels, or Disney's She Hulk, or Ironheart, or the Thunderbolts. (With or without the asterix, or the name change.)
