That can't be right because the killer doesn't wear a hood

Nothing. It would have zero impact on my life.

It’s basically a film and a sequel sandwiched together.

He was a guy who believes he was on a mission from God to convert a tribe that does not have contact to the outside world and they will kill outsiders on sight. And so he went to the island alone and got killed

As far as I can tell, the MCU films aren't so much showing market fatigue as creator fatigue.

Love him or hate him or both, Lucasfilm was George Lucas: the final decision maker. Without George Lucas, Lucasfilm is is a committee of people who only exist together because of the deal. Kathleen Kennedy is a legendary producer, but it’s obvious now she has no feel for Star Wars and nobody is in charge. The sequels are case in point.

They spend a fortune on the JJ reboot to set up their new franchise. Corporately, a safe move as he did it twice bedorw: make it quick, slick, fun, imitate the originals, being back old favorites, intro some new faces, do a few mystery boxes (who are Rey’s parents??!), end on the Luke cliffhanger, enjoy your popcorn and go home. Fine. They’ve got their franchise

For the first time in the history of the movie business, a major studio green lights a sequel to a billion dollar franchise that completely undermines the franchise they just spent a fortune setting. It would be like making Chris Columbus making Harry Potter 1, then green lighting HP 2 where Harry’s mother didn’t die to save her son, the scar on his head means nothing, and the entire student body is killed off at the end.
3, they bring back JJ Abrams to get them back to 1, but it’s way too late for that. Meanwhile, they make two spinoff movies; change their minds about what they wanted; fire the directors and reshoot the movies.
There hasn’t been a movie since, a pretty clear indication that nobody knows what to do. The Disney+ shows are giving them a chance to try out different things and see what works.

I would care more if the Oscars actually used consistently meaningful criteria.

well in that case the answer to your question is that studios would shift their content to fill the gap by replacing with non-traditional supes who still use supernatural/sci-fi powers to pull of cool action sequences

Check out his original mixtapes (most easily found as the album Trilogy). They're more standard R&B than his later stuff, but it's some of the best standard R&B ever recorded.
High For This goes unfathomably fucking hard and might actually be my favorite album opener of all time.

We'd merely get thread after thread of "Christ I wish they'd stop these Fast and Furious movies" and "DAE not interested in any more biopics these days?".

I'm only thinking of "traditional superheroes" like Batman and Captain America. Even someone like Constantine would be excluded because I saw that film as a teenager and had no idea it was based on a comic book.

I disagree. It just felt like an imitation of Heath Ledger with the surface level alteration of "what if I did Heath's joker, but I was a full-blown mental patient?" It was very obvious and cheesy.
I liked pretty much everything about The Batman except for the awful sneak peek of his Joker that they left in the movie at the end. It almost bombed the floor out on my whole experience.
