There's this weird thing at the moment where a lot of people have decided they don't like original fiction. They like true stories and old stories but they don't have any patience for new stories. I can't really put my finger on it but it's similar thing to people who can't watch scifi or fantasy. But, yeah, this trend is definitely coming from the audience as well as studios. Studios just want to make money.

It seems to me there are several practical reasons for this.

The entertainment business requires everything from screenwriters to production companies to directors and editors. All of these can be more effective cogs in the business machine if there are protocols, standards, and templates in an assembly line of production. It simply makes sense to cookie-cutter their shit - especially with million dollar investments with billions on the line.

They also monopolize intellectual property and copyright claims with their armies of lawyers. By limiting the amount of original content produced they can better wrangle and control their tried and not-true IPs.

Most if not all of their content reinforces the concept that "authority" must be obeyed and is critically necessary. I could go on about this at length.

(((The globalist corporatocracy))) is training us to consume only their product to be good obedient consumerist debt slaves.

Full spectrum dominance of (((the message))).

They already own all the major production companies, networks, and distribution avenues (and in addition to the media, the banks, politics, military, goods, services, etc etc etc). They suppress alternative media in favour of corporate media, controlled voices, limited hangouts, and/or those who serve (((the official narratives))) and (((the message))), whether paid or not, ignorantly or intentionally. And of they course apply dynamic silence and/or censor the alternative media critical of that which is too taboo to expose - or that offer alternatives and solutions.
