> so few studios.

Five major studios had the budgets to regularly make blockbusters. Four made lots of superhero movies over the last twenty years. Then one of those four bought one of the others. The other one still makes other blockbusters regularly and the three that make superhero movies still make other blockbusters.

Reply to comment by Rswany in Oscars: “Naatu Naatu” From India’s ‘RRR’ To Be Performed During Ceremony by impeccabletim

While thr popularity has undoubtedly receded, there's an extent tonehich broadcast TV numbers are a really dumb way to measure that. It's possible that there is more coverage and discussion of the Oscars than in many years, thar engagement just isn't monetizable by ABC. The Oscars locked into a billion dollar contract with broadcast ststion righbefor thr bottom dropped out from pretty much that entire medium.

Some of the ones that have been guilty aren’t always franchise films but there have been some over the years that are, like Harry Potter, Avatar is gonna be a long running one, Fast and Furious as you said, Jurassic World, and if you’d consider it blockbusters the LOTR trilogy, obviously Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, James Bond still makes a shit ton, Transformers, Mission Impossible, and the Hunger Games. Obviously superhero movies make a bunch more than a lot of these, but all these still make MASSIVE amounts of money, and are also guilty. And then there’s obviously some stand-alone blockbusters that are also guilty.
