Hollywood has massively misjudged what matters to the majority of their customers, and we are seeing it with the massive flops of Bros, She Said, Lightyear, Don’t Worry Darling, Amsterdam. Even Marvel films and TV series are flopping, Black Panther 2:Wakandan Boogaloo, is struggling to break even. Avatar 2 is set to be the biggest flop in history, needing $2b to just break even. Star Wars is a dead IP, Star Trek is dead, Lord of the Rings, although not Disney is potentially suffering the same fate, could be too if the animated Rohirrim film flops next year and Indiana Jones is looking to be that way ahead of Indy 5 next year. James Bond is looking very much like the producers want to diversify him, and lose everything that made him enjoyable. It’s hard to understand how this has all happened other than by the toxic effects of social media and the critical social justice cult.

Hollywood is in big trouble and it was them that killed the golden goose in service to their current year ideology.

The other disaster for Hollywood has been JJ Abrams and his coterie of directors, writers and producers. He talked up his “mystery box” style of writing and now it is being used everywhere, the trouble is that it’s not a tactic that works with existing IPs. Combine JJ Abrams with ideologically-driven productions and you explain the disastrous Star Wars sequels and series, the destruction of Star Trek both in theatres and TV and the shite that was Rings of Power (the show runners, never having had a producer credit before, got given the gig for the most expensive TV show in history on Abrams recommendation and they wrote it in Abrams style).

Star Trek is dead

We have never had so many Trek shows ongoing at once: Picard, Strange New Worlds, Discovery, Prodigy, and Lower Decks. Prodigy is with Wesley Crusher so... We'll see how that is, and Discovery is kind of a steaming ball of shit, but the others are decent.

destruction of Star Trek both in theatres

The Trek movies have always kind of sucked, some more than others, but the best movie was Wrath of Khan.

Picard is an abomination that humiliated Picard, destroyed the canon of TNG and didn’t even tell a decent story.

What is coming out about these shows is that the production teams actively dislike the source material/originals. The production team on The Witcher used to make fun of the books and games, and that’s ultimately why Henry Caville quit.

The sad fact about Star Trek is that Seth MacFarlane, a massive ST:TNG fan, put a bid in to buy the rights to make a new raft of ST shows in the same canon as TNG, and they refused him - which led him to make The Orville, which is brilliant. ST under him would have been amazing.

Picard hugged Q though! I don't care about TNG canon, personally, the show is dated by the 90s ideology. Remember when Riker fucked a tranny? I like the Kelvin timeline too, it's less sleepy.

Henry Caville quit

I had no idea he quit. That show I suspect is another Walking Dead, it had an epic first season I don't expect to be repeated, although it'll probably go on for years.
