There are also woke shows that are just good. Static Shock was made by woke people in charge of it, but it was very well done. The acting, the story, the animations...all of it. But there was no pandering there, it was a good show. I think the problem is less so "woke" and more so a lack of sincerity and authenticity. Made for certain values rather than made as art. Feel free to disagree though, I'd like to hear feedback on what I said.
Most new original series have activists instead of writers and that is the main reason of failure. If we had good story telling some of them could succeed.
there would still be like 6 different streaming services and on average people have 1+disney (for their kids) so youd still only ever get 1/5 people to even have the capacity to see it.
Yea he's completely ignoring that angle even though in a different context he'd fully understand it. They're NOT making what people want and that's why nobody is watching it. But if you infest popular IPs with woke garbage there's at least name recognition/nostalgia so some people give it a chance. Just look at Snow White.
I was thinking this the entire time. The studios just haven’t been able to create new IP that are captivating because of their modern views. Since the new shows they create are flops they go back and ruin the old shows with remakes.
If they really want to make a lot of money, use the stars we remember who know how to keep their personal opinions about politics and their activisms to themselves. Not interested in people using their popularity for propaganda and I can’t stand to see them for hours in a movie.
The reason new IPs don't kick off is because of streaming platforms where you can pick and choose what to watch on a whim. In the past we simply watched what was on at any given time, we couldn't just choose to watch our favorite shows at any time. Same goes for movies, we had to pick from what was available in the stores. Nowadays (again thanks to streaming services) the selection is much wider, so people just ignore new IPs. People have gotten more selective because of modern technology and that has led to people choosing the things that are familiar to them. This doesn't really apply to sequels though because sequelitis has always been a thing. The other big problem is companies do terrible jobs advertising new IPs these days, and even if they do, the ads get drowned out by the endless amount of worthless ads everywhere. (This leads to people using ad-blockers so their ads never get seen anyway.) Sorry if I worded this badly, I'm very tired atm, it's 4:30 am here.
Been thinking about this for a while. Ads are spammed so much these days they kinda just devolve into white noise, if you don't just start blocking them outright, and while being able to watch whatever you want anytime sounds great in a vacuum, without i.e. a human-curated playlist of similar content you may or may not like, discoverability is completely in the dumps unless the relation of a new show with other shows can be neatly parsed by an algorithm (franchise recognition being the lowest hanging fruit). I actually have gotten into listening to internet radio over services with automatically generated playlists because the latter results in such a bland, samey selection. I pick a genre I like and let the radio go. Some music won't be my cup of tea, but that's part of the fun. Sure wish there was good internet radio but for TV, just a bunch of good shows shuffled randomly, or on a schedule, maybe rotating in some other shows the viewership may like. Almost sort of like a TV programming... 🤔
I don't even know about a lot of this stuff unless it blows up on the internet for whatever reason, but if it blows up on the internet, it's probably either really good or really bad.
Literally everything is just “the CW” now . Casting baby faced kids in flawless unwrinkled costumes that just feels like a soap opera instead of a real story. Nothing feels real or even lived in. I hate it here.
The worst part is how much they spend at least CW shows had small budgets, now we get shows like rings of power which cost over a billion for season 2 and has the writing and dialogue of a CW show
Paddington in Peru is genius, you can just keep making sequels where Paddington goes to countries whose names start with a P for catchy movie titles. I’m personally excited for Paddington in Palestine
Well, both previous Paddington movies are well made movies and good. It also makes sense for it to go to Peru, as Padington is from Peru. If it is at least as good as both previous ones who cares if its a sequel. I dont see anyone saying empire strikes back or return of the jedi shouldnt have happened.
1)I pirate videos because its more convenient and easy. 2)I stop pirating because Netflix is more easyerest and convenient. 3)Hulu, Prime, Netflix, D+, Fubo, Paramount+, peacock, apple+, Max, ect... makes it too hard and less convenient 4)I pirate videos because its more convenient and easy.
Thats exactly the main problem. Ironically monopoly is a good thing there and it kind of was awesome back then at the beginning of the millennium. I still dont get why there isnt a service offering bundles.
@@roguedeathangel they could take all the risks they want. If they can't write their way out of wet paper bag, what does it fucking matter? I haven't seen good dialogue in a Ubisoft game in more than a decade. I heard people praise the story in Odyssey. I thought that was fucking ludicrous. That shit was dog shit. Their conversations were horrible. I agree they do need to take some risks as well but they can do that in their same recognizable IP. But they can't even pull that off at this point. I don't think it's a matter of them willing to try to do something or not. I don't think they have the ability and talent to pull it off anymore
@roguedeathangel so movie audiences are categorically refusing to engage with new IP, but anime, game, manga audiences still engage with new ip all the time? Make that make sense. Also, there's quite a few new ip that popped off in the last few years so even if we ignore other form of media, your argument still doesn't really work
You mean watching your idols and favorite characters be mocked and torn down doesn't make you excited to see how they ruin another character or series?
not to defend netflix but the wire creator did make another show called We Own This City and while it was okay it did the thing where the story isn't told chronologically, which ended up really hurting the show because it was about a group of corrupt cops, it's interesting to watch their progression from normal rookies into gangsters with a badge, telling it out of order just made the whole thing more confusing and disjointed than it needed to be. sometimes they do need to be told to cut out things like that.
@@doom8274 oh god, why people make movies that the scenes are out of order, do people like that stuff? whats the interesting thing about watching a movie that its trying its best to confuse you with bs
The worst part about all the slop being made is that it hurts the small theater owners. In my small town, our theater is struggling just to stay open. Studios will kill the little guys with their crap.
Thursday night in the 90s on free to air tv >New golden age Simpsons >Star gate sg1 >X files >WWE Thursday night now >House swap >Rich people buying houses >Evil landlords/dodgy tenants >House renovations
The problem is that people, mostly normies, eat the double branded leftover slop like cow-feed no matter how shitty it is. If more people didn't watch them, they wouldn't be made because it wouldn't be profitable. Slowly people are beginning to turn away from it but until people actually start celebrating original IPs, nothing will change.
@JakeBananas yeah people don't realize the people complaining here and similar sites are such a small vocal minority. Just because a ton of people agree with your opinion on here doesn't mean the slop isn't being consumed in mass by the general population
It's not the people's fault. If original series were good, people would watch. The problem is most writers in the industry couldn't write a good original script if their life depended on it. If a show or movie is good, people tell their friends and family about it and it gets watched. Game of thrones may have been based on an already established IP but 90% or more of people had never heard of the books but it became the most watched series ever. If you write well, people will watch.
@Stephan-qt8mh that's exactly what happens. Just about any cable tv series that has dropped in ratings has been cancelled. Shows get cancelled and go on hiatus all the time because when shows aren't good or stop being good they end.
@@TheMasterblah Yes, it is their fault, no exaggeration. Because every time we criticize terrible writing and poor production quality, there are ton of Twitter drones who dismiss everything and just start claiming everyone is "ist". It's like most of them cannot comprehend any actual criticism (good or bad), and then just look for some keyword. I remember criticizing how terrible the wrap up for Dorn plotline was in Game of Thrones, and lot of useful idiots only conclusion was "oh it's because you hate women". :facepalm: However back then it wasn't cool to criticize GOT. Same for MCU, I said ages ago, during MCU peek that most movies are kinda crap, because they all followed the exact same formula to letter (with only some exception, Winter Soldier and GoG for example) and dorks lost their shit on me, but now it's cool to criticize MCU and Disney.
And if some writer writes a good script, the producers would swoop in and destroy it. Combine that with a minimal marketing budget and most series never get more then a season. I mean the biggest hurdle is to get past the "pilot"-phase where vast majority of TV-shows end. Vast majority. And nobody will ever know how many good scripts have been buried with the expectation of a new billion dollar IP and it failing with the focus groups wanting more super hero-crap...
Brain dead takes. Series that would have been cancelled are getting new seasons because of social media mentions over actual views. Modern audience doesn't exist but they use data to hide it. Look at Morbius.
I think the last TV show that I was excited for was The Wheel of Time, but then they had to crap all over the whole point of the story 10 minutes in. I watched the first episode and never looked back.
Not to mention that the big event of the year was a single trader coming through with news and trinkets. I doubt they were getting much immigration in Two Rivers.
People keep getting tricked into seeing these mediocre movies, they vote with their wallets, then pay again instead of showing the studios we're tried of this effortless slop being made and they know they can get away with it because again... people give them money
It's absolutely the peoples fault. Companies make what the people pay for. Ask the people around you what shows and games they like and you'll see the issue
I keep hoping and hoping that SOMEONE with actual skills will speak with GRRM and remake season 8, or remake it into two full seasons…but it still wouldn’t be the same :(
It wasn't because they were uninterested. They were exhausted. You have to see things from their point of view. They were involved in that show for more than 10 years, and worked constantly during that time... writing, directing, and everything that goes on behind the scenes. Hell, it would have taken them months to adapt one GRRM's novels, all the while trying to create a TV show. They were exhausted, emotionally drained and wanted it to be done. I'm sure the offer Disney may have played a part in it, but I would bet it was the overload of work. HBO should have let them leave earlier, and hired new people to take over. So the blame isn't entirely on them.
Fantasy authour Brandon Sanderson had a bit to say about this phenomenon a while back when he was trying to get his own adaptation off the ground. Movie producers are deathly afraid of anything new. And when they reuse/adapt something preexisting, they do everything in their power to make it 'their own' instead of respecting the original source material. He really tried to fight against the changes in the Wheel of Time tv show, but they wouldn't listen to him. Hollywood is cooked.
@@AquaLeaderJesse wtf, people just want to see the book made into a show because they liked the BOOK’S story. All they have to do is visualize it with actors, costumes and cgi/special effects, not rewrite the story. That’s what people want to pay for.
@@AquaLeaderJesse But if you make it your own too much, who bother remaking it ? There's a fine line between remaking something in a new, innovative way (for example Doctor Who -technically a sequel, true - or Duck Tales) and doing something totally different, with just an IP slapped on it (Velma or the Rings of Power).
A funny thing: I saw the name "Vampire Academy" in the list of new shows already cancelled and looked it up: it was a Peacock original series (that appearently you can buy on RUclips), but also that... it's not original. It's a remake of a 2014 movie, which is a film version of a book series. Oh, and gosh darned, so random... one of the leads is now a Black woman. There is even a mainstream news article talking about how the fans shouldn't be upset that one of the characters is, in the 3rd incarnation (Book-FIlm-TV) is suddenly a different race, oh, and you're a bad person if you wanted the characters from the thing you were a fan of to reflect the thing you are a fan of.
This made me think of My Babysitter's a Vampire which had a television adaptation back in 2011. In the book, the vampire was a white guy, in the show he became a black girl, but... it actually worked. Race swapping wasn't as much as a big deal because it had no forceful "message" attached. Nobody would say racism was why why the show failed, it'd just be hit or a miss with audiences. Plus, they still casted back then. Token actors are notorious for lacking charisma and charm.
@@sianais Speaking of Babysitters...they remade Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead...with a black cast. Even THEY know it will be shit, since you actually have to look for the trailer instead of youtube shoving it in your face as an ad.
The whole of entertainment is fucked right now. Tv, film, games, music, comics, you name it. Oversaturated markets, untalented writers, dipshit marketing and promotion teams, rampant “activism” and propaganda, corporate suits who’s only interest is maximizing profits, ESG and DEI initiatives, and just straight up lack of talent and creativity across the board. I don’t think it’s going anywhere unless major cultural changes occur.
Remember when Studios started mass firing artists to replace them with DEI and A.I. You got what people wanted. And I say this because people continue to pay for this.
The problem is that it's not enough to break even or have small earnings anymore - everything must bring in monster amounts of cash, which means that even if the show is good, has potential and an interesting story to tell, if the horde is not immediately sinking its teeth in it, they axe it. Which leads to even more people not getting into original shows, because it's almost guaranteed they won't get a second season.
People watch new stuff *WHEN IT'S GOOD*. The problem is that when these companies went into "Copy Netflix" mode, they snapped up every no-talent oxygen thief in Hollywood to make two shows, as if Netflix doing it wasn't bad enough. The truth is, we've always had shitty television and movies, and we've always had remakes. The thing is, people just don't remember them. Does anyone remember "Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Syn"? Or "Saturn 3"? How about "Amityville II: The Possession"? What's different is the way the distribution channel works, and the amount of attention studio machinations get. Back then, nobody paid attention to the industry moves. They'd just make a movie, it would suck, it would release into theatres, and then calmly sink into well-deserved obscurity, and only the unfortunate souls who watched it without waiting for a review were any worse off. But now there is this community of indie film critics trying to make a few pennies making fun of this process, and some of them have done pretty well for themselves, which *ALSO* inspires immitators. It's the human centipede of uncreative hacks.
I've been waiting for the Isekai plague to creep its way into hollywood through a dying/dead IP. I can absolutely see it happening; "Iron Man 16 wasn't very popular." One executive frowned in annoyance. "I know, let's do the isekai trope where a normal person gets dropped into the MCU where it all started, and we can do everything over again - with a new main character!" "Brilliant! The main character already knows the original story, and will try to change tragedies and power HERself up with all that precognition!"
It already happened in the comics. Gwenpool is a girl from our world who got transported into the Marvel Comics. At some point Marvel will do a movie or series about her.
And this muppet reacting is blaming "the people," for not watching original series, when all that is coming out, including these originals, is utter slop. It's now our fault for not happily consooming excrement.
I dont think so. These same guys, Redlettermedia made a video thats basically the same 10 years ago called f*ck you its January. There was barely any DEI stuff in the movies they covered in that video, just very unoriginal and inferior adaptations and sequels of recognizable IPs. DEI stuff is adding more to the already huge pile of garbage but Hollywood has always just relied on recognizable names to carry the box office.
Nepotism and activists have always been there. Thats not the problem. The problem is that people, mostly normies, eat the double branded leftover slop like cow-feed no matter how shitty it is. Its like a money glitch was found within the low IQ population. If more people didn't watch them, they wouldn't be made because it wouldn't be profitable.
Hollywood is guilty of many, many crimes, but this is absolutely the audience's fault. It's a monumental task for me to convince almost everyone I know to try any new movie or tv show that is not something they recognize. I know several artists who are renowned for working on famous brands but all of their original work is almost completely ignored. We deserve the endless sequels and reboots.
@@PerciVNsame. I don’t know who’s keeping these projects afloat at all. Most of the “younger” generations gave up on cable television years ago, same with video on demand. How they’re breaking even while spitting out low effort garbage is beyond me.
@@Ciel1820 they aren't breaking even, blackrock and other interest groups keep them afloat at a loss to push the agenda, which is to weaken and divide the populace until they become subservient cattle, but you probably already know this
it'll get lost in translation by that point and be 28 millennials and it will be historically inaccurate with the cast theme being gen x in the 80's set in the year 2010 when terminator released. Then before you realize it you're just watching an a.i. blendered mind movie of Hot Tub Time Machine & Are You Afraid of The Dark, but you'll never know they ripped them off.
I think the real problem is that the quality of entertainment writing in the United States has really degraded. The recognizable IP is what is used to try and prop up the bad writing. That is also why things still flop, people go to see their recognizable IP, but quickly realize that it’s become really really stupid.
It has nothing to do with the quality of entertainment writing and everything to do with hiring DEI writers based on diversity checkboxes. If studios actually hired based on talent then there wouldn't be a problem, but they hire based on race/gender and all the garbage being released today is a product of that. The "quality of entertainment writing" is a direct result of their hiring practices.
13:33 It's not the people's fault. And for a few reasons 1. Companies have destroyed the trust were just watching less in general they've made it clear they only care about social messaging in their media instead of making an actually good product so excuse me for not wasting my time, which is the reason no one cares they don't have out trust. 2. They don't ever advertise. I never see ads of actually good original IPs. All the ones I do get to view are through word of mouth, not because the company introduced me themselves 3. They always pull the plug. Even with original IPs and it doing very well, they just pull the plug for no reason, so what's even the point 4. They rush. When a show does do well and I mean really well, they rush the producers/author ruining the show. In the process 5. Politics. An original IP does well next movie or even in the middle of making a season they force the creator to make changes for a "modern audience" and because no one wants that in their media they consume they instantly kill all potential There are dozens of other reasons that add up. But I believe these to be the most relevant and common issues within media.
The actual origin behind this is that most of the big studios are now gobbled up with tech conglomerates that purely rely on the next quarterly earnings report because of the fucked antitrust laws. And they no longer have authority to make what they want. Like 20-40 years ago, there were sequels and remakes being made as well, but also original stuff of which some hit big which made it worth it. But then Netflix came crashing in at a time when the economy was down and money was cheap, so the tech bros and private equity started buying in. And guess what they don't like. Taking risks of which only some stuff hits. They will demand to only focus on stuff they know will work. And recently it has got even worse because so much fucking content has been made in the last 10 years, the bubble has burst and people are out of a job. The business is shrinking and IP is the lifeboat. For original stuff you have to look at indie studios. And for this to turn back, they have to start ramping up antitrust laws which were relaxed starting in the 80s till the 00s, and break these huge cobglomerates up because they have become way too powerful.
Man, number 5 happened ti me recently with a book series I was reading. The Stormlight Archive is incredible in book one and becomes PEAK FICTION in book 2… And then book 3 (the one released in 2016, of course) is where things start getting gay. And recently I heard the author pledge to make it even worse… Take it from me: Don’t engage with Western entertainment from 2015 and after
Exactly this. Now all that is left is for them to cater to is a left wing audience and although profits would be much better if it were catered to everyone, that is the only standard they have. They have been crap for so long and abandoned over half their audience, that is all they have left. So instead of basing profits from everyone, they only measure it from this small pool of viewers and they adjust and create accordingly.
@nneisler I think people are so busy surviving no one can create, spread and share and then eventually sell their art in new media anymore. I barely have time energy money, or mental capacity to take care of my basic needs some days let alone have time to create. There will just be a revolution soon.
@@Planktonamor I agree. Part of is discipline, chipping away at your passions day by day, but nothings worse than wanting to relax and having a complex that you’re wasting your time trying to recover to do it all over again. It’s a fine balance and sometimes you have to just tell that voice to stfu. We’re also seeing how nepotism is damaging creativity too. The barrier to entry has become too much.
No, it was always about making money. But back then you actually had to put in the effort to attract audiences with good movies rather than use recognizable slop to feed into ever growing fast food entertainment market because thats much easier than the former
Exactly, you can make 10 25 million movies for the price of one Marvel movie. Godzilla year zero was what 15 million. The issue is that there isn't the stream of talent coming through to make all these movies and shows. There isn't the talent because people aren't being hired on talent any more. Any revival will have to come from outside of Holliwood, but then the monsters like Disney buy any up and coming company and burn them into the ground.
Nah bro, you’ve got it backwards. It’s absolutely the studios fault. Because movies now need broad appeal to EVERYONE they’re all boring. It’s that simple. They can’t be too funny, too edgy, too opinionated (unless the opinion is The Message). They don’t care about casting (put a chick in it and make her gay). They don’t care about good let alone compelling stories which leave the shells of previous successful IPs to try and draw people. And now even those are exhausted. Just look at Star Ward, MCU, Dr Who or Star Trek. All garbage.
old star wars wasn't "too funny" too edgy" and the message was America bad and Rebellions I.E Vietcong good. I agree with the message and it's obviously a good story so I agree with you on the rest, but still yee just pointing it out, your formula ain't fool proof
@@BigSteveLive George Lucas has literally said it himself. "America was the empire during the Vietnam war" and he talks deeply about how that inspired him and how America haven't learned from history and have become what they once hated. Now I'm pretty sure that something like that happened in star wars too...
Well, it's not an exclusive American thing. It's all over the world I think. Same here in Russia. We have a lot of Noname tv shows that I never heard of
Then I believe it's because of the quantity that the quality is going down. Studios pumping out way too much, way too fast that the quality doesn't have a chance to be worked on
@@brainrich1358 yeah absolutely. my thing was that quantity does not mean bad quality in this case, since its not all made by one studio but rather scattered on to different studios, they SHOULD produce quality work. yet we still get 90% trash
There’s a studio / channel that makes movies called “ the asylum “ that copies real movies but makes them like 2 days after the original and with a budget of like 20 bucks. Instead of pacific rim they made Atlantic rim. Instead of transformers they made transmorphers. Or Sunday school the musical. Or independents day.
13:30 in business school we study this psychological phenonomenon. If you give customers too much choice, rather than making the best choice, they often freeze, disengage, or just opt for the "safe option" (in this case a known IP). Companies need to make less, focus on quality, and market them well.
Except people dont watch all those safe ip movies/tv shows, they're nearly all flops. Look for example at that endless string of new star wars tv shows, nobody cared about that.
Above half of funds often go into marketing, half of remaining goes for few stars/other high profile figures mostly for PR. Budgets are very bloated, but effective production costs are often way less than it seems. And MBA kills everything, because for some reason management skills are more important than area of expertise.
@@kotokotfgcscrub Yes, but WHAT marketing? There hasn't been proper marketing in like last 10 years or so, with maybe few exceptions. At best you get one teaser and one trailer shortly before movie release and that's about it. Rest is just useful idiots on Twitter whining and calling anyone who criticizes "alt right yazis". I don't recall when was the last time we had proper marketing to build up some movie or series, like for example when The Dark Knight was coming out and first they had blurry image of The Joker so people speculated what's he gonna look like (especially considering Heat Ledger was mostly known for his teen comedy movies at the time). Then they had "Gotham Evening news" play out, which was like talk show with different characters from the movie being interviewed in style of Late Night talks shows. They had Sal Maroni (Eric Roberts) be interviewed and asked to confirm if he's the new head of Falcone family, and there was also interview with Harvey Dent being questioned if Batman is real and if it's true GCPD works with him. It was such cool marketing (maybe you can find it online?) and also gives the cool immersion that shit was going on in Gotham long before the movie The Dark Knight actually starts.
This is the real issue: Star Wars: the Acolyte would have been a hit, if it had cost 20-50 million, instead of over $230 million. It's not that the studios can't make new things, it's that they can't make new things on a budget of over $100 million.
here's where you're wrong: All those big studios wanted to compete with netflix, started their own streaming services and ruined their fundamental business - cinema and physical media sales. They spread themselves too thin because they had to produce a ton of content to keep up with the demand of monthly paying customers. The result are tons and tns of shows and movies that can't get your attention, or if they can they can't hold it for very long. It's not the audiences fault if they're not watching that stuff, considering they would have to pay for multiple services and watch crap for basically 24 hours a day to keep up with the sheer amount of garbage that is pumped out. And I haven't even brought up the problem that streaming movies just don't seem to have the cinematic (read visual) authority that true cinema has. They all blend together visually, they're not distinct, and therefore promptly forgotten after exploiting a small window of hype. Coupled with the fact that series in particular tend to fall off a cliff after their first season, even if that was stellar. There's just so much attention to go around.
Asmon really missed the point here. He blames the consumer, to the point of exonerating the studio system, but the whole point here is nobody is watching this slop and yet the studios continue to pump it out year after year, and blame the audience for not watching. It's not the consumer's fault when there's countless video essays and Reddit threads telling the studio exactly what they're doing wrong. It's the studio's responsibility to make a profitable product, it's not my responsibility to buy your garbage year after year.
Well, looking at the shows that got listed in the video i can say that i've seen "the company you keep" that is about a guy and his family running a bar to clean the dirty money that make robbing things. One day he is in a hotel and talk himself into that asian MILF that is also an FBI agent, so now he and his family are on their "last big job" and she is close to catching them all the time, while other stuff goes down that is not AAA but on ok plot. It's a mix of oceans 11 and a female Hank from breaking bad. The truth is... i think modern people are to stupid to follow the plot that made sense, because the mafia boss had a kid with another women and that female kid was then going after the boss and his son (kinda like bullet train?). I mean at least the characters had clear motives and objectives that you could understand and that seems very rare in todays writing. I even understand the FBI lady, because she was smart and most conversations with the other guys didnt spark her interested and then "mr street smart" talked her into bed... but in the end the love for him made her blind for the truth and she had to fight against herself in a way that seemed logical, so they created a situation where she becomes an "insider" and ratting the group out would also mean her end, so the family forced the FBI "girlfriend" of their son to do it in the way of the family (if you rob from the evil it's no crime) and in the end presented the Mafia boss in her name to the police, cleaning everybodys name, evil is gone and they saved the family bar in a shady but necessary way. Totally i show that i would recommand to watch with your girldfriend.
@@DreaMeRHoLic Exactly its just mixes of old good shows, there's nothing new, and you people are being educated into "settle and be happy for what you have now" instead thrive to get better things. Asmon said it, he likes it this way because it makes content for him, as long as he makes a buck from it he is willing to sacrifice good things and people fall for it.
13:50 You can't blame people for not watching when most original series are just as bad as the remakes and sequels. Hollywood has been hiring people on as directors and writers based on race/gender for so long, the rot has set in, and most of them are not capable of telling good stories. The studios know that at least with established IP's, they can sucker more people into watching regardless of how terrible they are. If an original series/movie is actually good, it will usually get word of mouth, and people will show up for it. This isn't like the anime industry that's heavily reliant on physical sales, and genuinely good shows get canned despite high viewership, because they didn't pander enough to hardcore otaku to buy multiple physical copies and merch.
You gotta remember that for 20+ years Asmon's head had been thoroughly stuck up World of Warcraft's ass that all of these established people, channels, games and films are like an entirely new world to him lol.
@@helljoes generally id agree that alot of shows coming out are medicore crap but id say thats just because theres more being pumped out but something like better call saul arcane bojack horseman, mr robot, blue eye samurai is proof shows aint suddenly becoming bad, at least at its peak
13:08 Honestly, I blame the shift from traditional TV to streaming to fragmented streaming apps. Before, most people had cable with channels from pretty much every major studio. A studio could make something new, put it in a primetime slot, and people would inevitably land on it while channel surfing. If enough people see it, like it, and tell their friends about it, then it becomes successful. Now you can't see everything in one place, everything is on different apps, nobody wants to sign up for a new platform just to watch one show, and cable TV is barren of new content. What are we supposed to do, subscribe to every service and spend 30+ minuets browsing every single one until we find something we want to watch? Nobody is going to do that!
your right but if a movie has more story to it why not some of the movies in the video are based on book and if theres a second book why shouldnt they make more you might not like it but other people will even with joker 2 its bad sure but if they used different story to tell it would have been good im just glad they exist i wish they were all good but it better then not having a movie like if every sequel they made was masterpiece you would want more
@@Deadpool-n2t2x I think movie studios don't know how to make movies for the zoomer audience. So they are essentially stuck pushing franchises and hope they stick out of sheer perseverance. It's a real problem. How do you entertain someone that is on tik tok? No movie is going to do that.
I don’t think it’s the audience, if a fantasy series like GoT was able to find an audience any good show can. Game of thrones was able to attain a massive audience and it got propelled into the mainstream through word of mouth and social media. As long as something’s good it will find its audience more often than not. These new shows simply aren’t very good.
That is so true. I can't tell you how many people myself included were told to watch game of thrones at one point and they dismissed it as bullshit they didn't like and then a couple years later started to watch it and binged it for weeks on it.
@@robdebone Yeah it’s a difficult genre for mainstream success. I think what’s happened is that we suddenly have all these streaming services that needed to fill their libraries, so they ended up with a very competitive environment for the prime writers out there. And when you can’t get the good writers you’re left with the hacks.
That "transport into another world" a.k.a "isekai" isn't fully company's fault. Most animation company took that material from indie writers from either comic strip or indie novels that normally 2-6 years old prior its animation 1st episode release. Mushoku Tensei, or Jobless Reincarnation, first I heard that was around 2013.
The thing about Mushoku Tensei is that it was the start of the mainstream appeal of Isekai. It was the inspiriation for Overlord, Slime, Re:Zero etc. It is the grandad of the Isekai trope as the basis for a story.
In theory, Rayearth and Escaflowne were before in the isekai departament. But granted, Mushoku Tensei was the one who popularize the "japanese loser died, and resurrect with another life on another world".
in like early day of Isekai anime (like 2015 ish) there weeb saying that the evolution would be Trash Isekai, Anime watcher -> Trash Isekai, LN reader -> Trash Korean Regresor WN -> Trash, Chinese Cultivator WN just sayin, just sayin the Next trend would be Regresor genre - (Solo leveling and shit)
Inside Job cancelling was criminal. That show got super good in part 2 of season 1. The first half was mostly okay with a few good parts here and there. But part 2 was amazing.
@@hildegardvonbingen9092 Nah it was awesome you just don’t have taste. It was only canceled because Netflix sucks at advertising so no one watched part 1 of season 1 and they decided to cancel it then and went through with it even though part 2 got alot more attention. It was not niche by part 2.
@@hildegardvonbingen9092 You are entitled to have your own opinions but take what you just said and put it to another show that they greenlit instead but worse and we get Loudmouth.

That Shogun mini series was so good and introduced me to author. I binge watched the full 16 hours of it when I was 11. My father rented it from Warehouse Video, before Blockbuster put them out of business, and we binged it together back in the 90's.
My uncle used to be high up at Universal Studios and i asked why TF they keep puttin out Fast and the Furious movies and he said.... people keep buying tickets. This was about 15 years ago
I had this same thought, so I went and looked up the box office numbers, and saw how they consistently were bringing in more money with each sequel with the 7th making 1.5 billion and the 8th making 1.2 billion and the next 3 making 700+ million each with only a 200 million budget so they will keep making them until they start losing money. The director of Carnasaur had that philosophy.
What I don't get is how do we keep getting movies about the most uncinematic videogames? Doom 3, Minecraft, Angry Birds... Why does this get priority over Metro, Far Cry, God of war
The fact that new properties don't get watched is bs. People don't watch them cause they're terrible, not cause they're new. Game of Thrones was practically a new IP (based on books read by a niche of a niche), and it was the biggest show of this millennia so far. Stranger Things (season one at least) was original and quite successful. And people are not watching know IPs either. Look at the numbers of every TV shows, and you'll see even "successful" properties are being watched by a fraction of the audience that used to watch any popular show 10-20 years ago.
The same can be said about the Witcher TV series. Well, before the writers ruined it. A new IP that to my knowledge was a book series that had only been adapted into a game series. They also IMO had the perfect casting for Henry Cavill, a good actor with a personal passion for the character. But like I said, the writers ruined it, lost almost 50% of their viewership, and drove away their star actor.
Modern series are ass even if the ip is good it has like 9 episodes a year. Back in the day we could get 20-40+ episodes a year for a live action show. Plus the art of having each episode a good watch on it's own with a self contained story but also contain a overarching story is basically dead. Having two episodes you have to watch in order for the story was considered a special event back in the day. edit: You would have commercials hyping up the next episode in a two part special. It was a event, you got excited for that next episode.
Indie shows that are new somewhat like Hazbin Hotel (overall its not great imo) and Digital Circus are one of those IPs that are very lucky or very well made to be watched
the reason why our family usually watches asian tv shows cause they have unique stories and even their cliche stories don't bother us that much cause the show ends after 10-16 eps, they don't drag it and they usually film for months to a year only. If the show is really really popular the writer usually isn't willing to extend it but for special occassions some would make 1 or 2 special episodes so they very rarely do sequels let alone prequels. and if they do, most of their sequels are wanted by fans.
1 of the worst shows I’ve seen in recent memory was (I think on Hulu?) a new “Interview with a Vampire” presumably based on Anne Rice’s novels. It was so woke & cringe, we turned it off halfway thru the 1st episode. FTR I’m Latina myself, but this looked like my little cousin in Halloween costume. 😂 You cannot take an IP with a type of fantasy/ folklore on pale goth creatures from Europe, then cast it like it’s a school play in modern LA. It doesn’t even make sense. HBO’s truebl00d was a good attempt. Nothing comes close to that quality since. We have plenty of LatAm myths of our own & I’m sure Africa does as well, so stop having us cosplay as European characters. It gives us secondhand embarrassment & breaks immersion
And Interview With a Vampire was already pretty diversity friendly featuring a gay vampire and his bisexual lover. But I guess that just wasn't diverse enough for their quota because all the vampires were white (since it was set in 1700s-1900s Europe and America).
I read the books, intimacy was suggested. Nothing ever happened beyond blood drinking. Some sick writer in Hollywood just had to stick their lgbtq nonsense in there. What a disappointment. There was a particular scene where they were on a couch with a woman and things were getting weird. I turned it off. Another disgusting adaption by the sickness in Hollywood.
I miss when we got movies like Dredd 2012, Maze Runner, Resident Evil, Transformers, etc. Fun as Fuck movies that felt Gritty and bloody, despite alot of CGI being used.
Urban along with Cavill are one of the few dudes I will immediately perk my ears up for when I hear they're starting in some tie-in or adaptation. Maybe Jon Bernthal and Alan Ritchson too.
Marvel needs to make Robert Downey Jr all of the characters in the Avengers, where he's playing Kirk Lazerous from Tropic Thunder as all of the heroes and villains.
14:44 Others have done it, but their first roles were extremely minor. Enver Gjokaj, Gemma Chan, and Laura Jane Haddock had very small roles before they had a second more prominent one. Robert Downey Jr.? He was FUCKING IRON MAN!!! From the biggest MCU hero to the possibly biggest MCU villain? NOT AT ALL THE SAME THING!!!
The upside of cable was that relying on somebody else setting the TV program meant you would see stuff you otherwise wouldn't, eg original series. Left to picking stuff on our own, we pick what is recognizable.
The trouble with art is that you can go for mass appeal and lose societal relevance/interest later over time, or take risks, greatly increasing one's chance of failure, but also increasing the chance that you find something fresh. The thing with buisness is that you can buy artists' IPs for a relative pittence, ride the horse until it dies, then buy a new one as needed. Also at times you can hire artists to do some necromancy when there is enough nostalgia in the air sometimes. The touble now is that there are more zombie horses than regular ones, and necromancy has diminishing returns. Cinema/TV/streaming is dying (very very slowly), and eventually there will be noone left but risk takers. God knows how long it'll take before that happens.
This is the world of They Live meets Idiocracy. Some people even make a career out of just sitting back and doing reactions. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
I'd argue that "Ouch my balls" would be totally riveting in comparison to most shows. Even Idiocracy fell short of the actual mark. We even didn't get the cure for baldness.
I dont know why they went with real people in the Minecraft movie, so dumb, they should've just went for full animation or green screening them or whatever its called to make the actors look like blocky Minecraft characters
Part of the problem is that there's too many streaming services so when there is a good series it can't get enough views because everybody is watching something else on a different streaming service when there are less streaming services this won't be as bad. In short there isn't enough eyes to go around so there are not enough views to keep halfway decent original show going.
True. Sometimes I’ll see an ad for a show & want to see it. Then I google to see what platform to watch.. & I’ve never heard of the streamer. Most folks aren’t gonna buy a sub for 1 show. It’s a waste
I am from a Muslim country and people used to watch tv shows from the west like Prison Break and Person of Interest. right now no one watches anything from the west because of the all Identity politics staff
None of these shows or movies seem to aim for any sense of realism. It's all basically K-pop and VTubers now, a completely fabricated product that feels incredibly artificial and contrived. It's the equivalent of American processed cheese but for television.
people aren't watching original series because they make like 2 good episodes, or the first season good, and then the show gets infiltrated by activists who turn the show into a stupid political message, or the story has 0 consistency and is just cringe and unwatchable, or the characters are flat or really unlikable. for sequels and adaptations, they totally change who characters are and main story elements all the time and it makes fans of the franchises angry.
I started rewatching Stargate recently and am blown away how much better it is than modern TV shows.

Sometimes both. See: How I Met Your Father
I've moved on to other medium. I rather spend time reading Manga and Manhwa than watching modern media slobs
There are also woke shows that are just good. Static Shock was made by woke people in charge of it, but it was very well done. The acting, the story, the animations...all of it.
But there was no pandering there, it was a good show.
I think the problem is less so "woke" and more so a lack of sincerity and authenticity. Made for certain values rather than made as art.

You can pirate everything and just store it on your PC dude.
Most new original series have activists instead of writers and that is the main reason of failure. If we had good story telling some of them could succeed.
there would still be like 6 different streaming services and on average people have 1+disney (for their kids)
so youd still only ever get 1/5 people to even have the capacity to see it.
The stakeholders want the original series to have DEI writers.
Yea he's completely ignoring that angle even though in a different context he'd fully understand it. They're NOT making what people want and that's why nobody is watching it. But if you infest popular IPs with woke garbage there's at least name recognition/nostalgia so some people give it a chance. Just look at Snow White.
I was thinking this the entire time. The studios just haven’t been able to create new IP that are captivating because of their modern views. Since the new shows they create are flops they go back and ruin the old shows with remakes.

Speaks volumes about our culture doesn't it?
I'm watching the Netflix daredevil and punisher series right now and they are actually good.
The reason new IPs don't kick off is because of streaming platforms where you can pick and choose what to watch on a whim. In the past we simply watched what was on at any given time, we couldn't just choose to watch our favorite shows at any time. Same goes for movies, we had to pick from what was available in the stores. Nowadays (again thanks to streaming services) the selection is much wider, so people just ignore new IPs. People have gotten more selective because of modern technology and that has led to people choosing the things that are familiar to them. This doesn't really apply to sequels though because sequelitis has always been a thing.
The other big problem is companies do terrible jobs advertising new IPs these days, and even if they do, the ads get drowned out by the endless amount of worthless ads everywhere. (This leads to people using ad-blockers so their ads never get seen anyway.)
Sorry if I worded this badly, I'm very tired atm, it's 4:30 am here.
Abundance of choice paradox, you get so many flavors of ice cream - you get tired from responsibility to choose and just stick with the first one
Same with dating apps and current dating issues.
Been thinking about this for a while.
Ads are spammed so much these days they kinda just devolve into white noise, if you don't just start blocking them outright, and while being able to watch whatever you want anytime sounds great in a vacuum, without i.e. a human-curated playlist of similar content you may or may not like, discoverability is completely in the dumps unless the relation of a new show with other shows can be neatly parsed by an algorithm (franchise recognition being the lowest hanging fruit).
I actually have gotten into listening to internet radio over services with automatically generated playlists because the latter results in such a bland, samey selection. I pick a genre I like and let the radio go. Some music won't be my cup of tea, but that's part of the fun.
Sure wish there was good internet radio but for TV, just a bunch of good shows shuffled randomly, or on a schedule, maybe rotating in some other shows the viewership may like. Almost sort of like a TV programming... 🤔
You made a very good point.
I don't even know about a lot of this stuff unless it blows up on the internet for whatever reason, but if it blows up on the internet, it's probably either really good or really bad.

It's not the people's fault. If original series were good, people would watch. The problem is most writers in the industry couldn't write a good original script if their life depended on it. If a show or movie is good, people tell their friends and family about it and it gets watched. Game of thrones may have been based on an already established IP but 90% or more of people had never heard of the books but it became the most watched series ever. If you write well, people will watch.
@Stephan-qt8mh that's exactly what happens. Just about any cable tv series that has dropped in ratings has been cancelled. Shows get cancelled and go on hiatus all the time because when shows aren't good or stop being good they end.
It literally is the peoples fault. The "modern audience" is very real and they don't give a shit about good shows.
@@TheMasterblah Yes, it is their fault, no exaggeration. Because every time we criticize terrible writing and poor production quality, there are ton of Twitter drones who dismiss everything and just start claiming everyone is "ist". It's like most of them cannot comprehend any actual criticism (good or bad), and then just look for some keyword.
I remember criticizing how terrible the wrap up for Dorn plotline was in Game of Thrones, and lot of useful idiots only conclusion was "oh it's because you hate women". :facepalm:
However back then it wasn't cool to criticize GOT. Same for MCU, I said ages ago, during MCU peek that most movies are kinda crap, because they all followed the exact same formula to letter (with only some exception, Winter Soldier and GoG for example) and dorks lost their shit on me, but now it's cool to criticize MCU and Disney.
And if some writer writes a good script, the producers would swoop in and destroy it. Combine that with a minimal marketing budget and most series never get more then a season. I mean the biggest hurdle is to get past the "pilot"-phase where vast majority of TV-shows end. Vast majority. And nobody will ever know how many good scripts have been buried with the expectation of a new billion dollar IP and it failing with the focus groups wanting more super hero-crap...
Brain dead takes. Series that would have been cancelled are getting new seasons because of social media mentions over actual views. Modern audience doesn't exist but they use data to hide it. Look at Morbius.

It wasn't because they were uninterested. They were exhausted. You have to see things from their point of view. They were involved in that show for more than 10 years, and worked constantly during that time... writing, directing, and everything that goes on behind the scenes. Hell, it would have taken them months to adapt one GRRM's novels, all the while trying to create a TV show. They were exhausted, emotionally drained and wanted it to be done. I'm sure the offer Disney may have played a part in it, but I would bet it was the overload of work. HBO should have let them leave earlier, and hired new people to take over. So the blame isn't entirely on them.
best part is they never even got to work on star wars because they screwed up so bad
Fantasy authour Brandon Sanderson had a bit to say about this phenomenon a while back when he was trying to get his own adaptation off the ground. Movie producers are deathly afraid of anything new. And when they reuse/adapt something preexisting, they do everything in their power to make it 'their own' instead of respecting the original source material.
He really tried to fight against the changes in the Wheel of Time tv show, but they wouldn't listen to him. Hollywood is cooked.

There's a fine line between remaking something in a new, innovative way (for example Doctor Who -technically a sequel, true - or Duck Tales) and doing something totally different, with just an IP slapped on it (Velma or the Rings of Power).

Oversaturated markets, untalented writers, dipshit marketing and promotion teams, rampant “activism” and propaganda, corporate suits who’s only interest is maximizing profits, ESG and DEI initiatives, and just straight up lack of talent and creativity across the board. I don’t think it’s going anywhere unless major cultural changes occur.
Anime thriving
@@kchikweteI’m speaking specifically about American entertainment. Anime’s thriving with the same audience it always has, and that’s no surprise.
It's going in the dustbin of history.
Remember when Studios started mass firing artists to replace them with DEI and A.I. You got what people wanted. And I say this because people continue to pay for this.
and the competition is this
I honestly laughed so much this video
The problem is that it's not enough to break even or have small earnings anymore - everything must bring in monster amounts of cash, which means that even if the show is good, has potential and an interesting story to tell, if the horde is not immediately sinking its teeth in it, they axe it. Which leads to even more people not getting into original shows, because it's almost guaranteed they won't get a second season.
People watch new stuff *WHEN IT'S GOOD*. The problem is that when these companies went into "Copy Netflix" mode, they snapped up every no-talent oxygen thief in Hollywood to make two shows, as if Netflix doing it wasn't bad enough. The truth is, we've always had shitty television and movies, and we've always had remakes. The thing is, people just don't remember them. Does anyone remember "Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Syn"? Or "Saturn 3"? How about "Amityville II: The Possession"?
What's different is the way the distribution channel works, and the amount of attention studio machinations get. Back then, nobody paid attention to the industry moves. They'd just make a movie, it would suck, it would release into theatres, and then calmly sink into well-deserved obscurity, and only the unfortunate souls who watched it without waiting for a review were any worse off.
But now there is this community of indie film critics trying to make a few pennies making fun of this process, and some of them have done pretty well for themselves, which *ALSO* inspires immitators. It's the human centipede of uncreative hacks.
I've been waiting for the Isekai plague to creep its way into hollywood through a dying/dead IP. I can absolutely see it happening;
"Iron Man 16 wasn't very popular." One executive frowned in annoyance.
"I know, let's do the isekai trope where a normal person gets dropped into the MCU where it all started, and we can do everything over again - with a new main character!"
"Brilliant! The main character already knows the original story, and will try to change tragedies and power HERself up with all that precognition!"
That could be funny and also really bad.
It already happened in the comics.
Gwenpool is a girl from our world who got transported into the Marvel Comics.
At some point Marvel will do a movie or series about her.
Well... The Suicide Squad anime is already an isekai, where the Suicide Squade goes in a medieval world.
Minecraft movie is the isekai of this year.
Please don't give them ideas
The result of nepotism babies, activists and DEI initiatives are what happened
💯
Facts!
And this muppet reacting is blaming "the people," for not watching original series, when all that is coming out, including these originals, is utter slop. It's now our fault for not happily consooming excrement.
I dont think so. These same guys, Redlettermedia made a video thats basically the same 10 years ago called f*ck you its January. There was barely any DEI stuff in the movies they covered in that video, just very unoriginal and inferior adaptations and sequels of recognizable IPs. DEI stuff is adding more to the already huge pile of garbage but Hollywood has always just relied on recognizable names to carry the box office.
Nepotism and activists have always been there. Thats not the problem. The problem is that people, mostly normies, eat the double branded leftover slop like cow-feed no matter how shitty it is. Its like a money glitch was found within the low IQ population. If more people didn't watch them, they wouldn't be made because it wouldn't be profitable.
Hollywood is guilty of many, many crimes, but this is absolutely the audience's fault. It's a monumental task for me to convince almost everyone I know to try any new movie or tv show that is not something they recognize. I know several artists who are renowned for working on famous brands but all of their original work is almost completely ignored. We deserve the endless sequels and reboots.
what you allow is what will continue.

it'll get lost in translation by that point and be 28 millennials and it will be historically inaccurate with the cast theme being gen x in the 80's set in the year 2010 when terminator released.

Seeing asmon watch redlettermedia is kinda surreal because theyre in like opposite ends of the same spectrum
Studios are objectively not giving people what they want. They are making movies for each other, not the customer.
PERFECT, brief synopsis!
Star Trek predicted that we wouldn't watch TV after 2040. I'm starting to see why. 😒
holodecks filled with adult content from 2040?
When movies suck more than your own lives ?
I think the real problem is that the quality of entertainment writing in the United States has really degraded. The recognizable IP is what is used to try and prop up the bad writing. That is also why things still flop, people go to see their recognizable IP, but quickly realize that it’s become really really stupid.
The fanfic writers are running the asylum.
It has nothing to do with the quality of entertainment writing and everything to do with hiring DEI writers based on diversity checkboxes. If studios actually hired based on talent then there wouldn't be a problem, but they hire based on race/gender and all the garbage being released today is a product of that.
The "quality of entertainment writing" is a direct result of their hiring practices.
Loved Shogun but it's a remake of an old TV Show.
And now they making not needed sequels most likely not using the actual sequel books
13:33 It's not the people's fault. And for a few reasons
1. Companies have destroyed the trust were just watching less in general they've made it clear they only care about social messaging in their media instead of making an actually good product so excuse me for not wasting my time, which is the reason no one cares they don't have out trust.
2. They don't ever advertise. I never see ads of actually good original IPs. All the ones I do get to view are through word of mouth, not because the company introduced me themselves
3. They always pull the plug. Even with original IPs and it doing very well, they just pull the plug for no reason, so what's even the point
4. They rush. When a show does do well and I mean really well, they rush the producers/author ruining the show. In the process
5. Politics. An original IP does well next movie or even in the middle of making a season they force the creator to make changes for a "modern audience" and because no one wants that in their media they consume they instantly kill all potential
There are dozens of other reasons that add up. But I believe these to be the most relevant and common issues within media.
The actual origin behind this is that most of the big studios are now gobbled up with tech conglomerates that purely rely on the next quarterly earnings report because of the fucked antitrust laws. And they no longer have authority to make what they want. Like 20-40 years ago, there were sequels and remakes being made as well, but also original stuff of which some hit big which made it worth it. But then Netflix came crashing in at a time when the economy was down and money was cheap, so the tech bros and private equity started buying in. And guess what they don't like. Taking risks of which only some stuff hits. They will demand to only focus on stuff they know will work. And recently it has got even worse because so much fucking content has been made in the last 10 years, the bubble has burst and people are out of a job. The business is shrinking and IP is the lifeboat. For original stuff you have to look at indie studios. And for this to turn back, they have to start ramping up antitrust laws which were relaxed starting in the 80s till the 00s, and break these huge cobglomerates up because they have become way too powerful.
Man, number 5 happened ti me recently with a book series I was reading. The Stormlight Archive is incredible in book one and becomes PEAK FICTION in book 2…
And then book 3 (the one released in 2016, of course) is where things start getting gay. And recently I heard the author pledge to make it even worse…
Take it from me: Don’t engage with Western entertainment from 2015 and after
"I guess it's my fault for not liking a garbage show that is worse than AI generated contents."
-said no one
I agree!
Exactly this. Now all that is left is for them to cater to is a left wing audience and although profits would be much better if it were catered to everyone, that is the only standard they have. They have been crap for so long and abandoned over half their audience, that is all they have left. So instead of basing profits from everyone, they only measure it from this small pool of viewers and they adjust and create accordingly.
Creativity is absolutely dead and social media is partly to blame. There’s no more originality. We’re done
Only AI can save us now
@nneisler I think people are so busy surviving no one can create, spread and share and then eventually sell their art in new media anymore. I barely have time energy money, or mental capacity to take care of my basic needs some days let alone have time to create. There will just be a revolution soon.
@@Planktonamor I agree. Part of is discipline, chipping away at your passions day by day, but nothings worse than wanting to relax and having a complex that you’re wasting your time trying to recover to do it all over again. It’s a fine balance and sometimes you have to just tell that voice to stfu. We’re also seeing how nepotism is damaging creativity too. The barrier to entry has become too much.
@bloopy3213 well said. And very good point. I, and many others lack that discipline and thats the truth
It stopped being about making art and started being silent about profit.
No, it was always about making money. But back then you actually had to put in the effort to attract audiences with good movies rather than use recognizable slop to feed into ever growing fast food entertainment market because thats much easier than the former
Pffft. The profit margin on b-movies is arguably better
Exactly, you can make 10 25 million movies for the price of one Marvel movie. Godzilla year zero was what 15 million. The issue is that there isn't the stream of talent coming through to make all these movies and shows. There isn't the talent because people aren't being hired on talent any more.
Any revival will have to come from outside of Holliwood, but then the monsters like Disney buy any up and coming company and burn them into the ground.
To the people who greenlight things, it has always been about profit. To the people that make it, it's still about art. They just aren't good artists.
No, it's always been about making profit, the problem is that the studios are full of activists now instead of artists.
28 years later was annonced by the creator when he was talking about 28 months later in 2007.
Nah bro, you’ve got it backwards. It’s absolutely the studios fault. Because movies now need broad appeal to EVERYONE they’re all boring. It’s that simple. They can’t be too funny, too edgy, too opinionated (unless the opinion is The Message). They don’t care about casting (put a chick in it and make her gay). They don’t care about good let alone compelling stories which leave the shells of previous successful IPs to try and draw people. And now even those are exhausted. Just look at Star Ward, MCU, Dr Who or Star Trek. All garbage.
old star wars wasn't "too funny" too edgy" and the message was America bad and Rebellions I.E Vietcong good. I agree with the message and it's obviously a good story so I agree with you on the rest, but still yee just pointing it out, your formula ain't fool proof
That's the message you got out of Star Wars?
@@BigSteveLive George Lucas has literally said it himself. "America was the empire during the Vietnam war" and he talks deeply about how that inspired him and how America haven't learned from history and have become what they once hated. Now I'm pretty sure that something like that happened in star wars too...
Shows are being advertised to specifically stay at home moms, who usually lack self awareness and humor.
Well, it's not an exclusive American thing. It's all over the world I think. Same here in Russia. We have a lot of Noname tv shows that I never heard of
im not a stay at home mom but I don't not have the other two. So...
😂
yep, crazy how almost all of these cancelled on the video had a woman lead lmao
Or lone 30+ yr old pet moms
the problem is not the quantity, its the quality that is missing in 90% of tv shows and movies nowadays which makes it an issue
Then I believe it's because of the quantity that the quality is going down. Studios pumping out way too much, way too fast that the quality doesn't have a chance to be worked on
@@brainrich1358 yeah absolutely. my thing was that quantity does not mean bad quality in this case, since its not all made by one studio but rather scattered on to different studios, they SHOULD produce quality work. yet we still get 90% trash
Don't ask questions just consume products.
There’s a studio / channel that makes movies called “ the asylum “ that copies real movies but makes them like 2 days after the original and with a budget of like 20 bucks.
Instead of pacific rim they made Atlantic rim.
Instead of transformers they made transmorphers.
Or Sunday school the musical. Or independents day.
13:30 in business school we study this psychological phenonomenon. If you give customers too much choice, rather than making the best choice, they often freeze, disengage, or just opt for the "safe option" (in this case a known IP). Companies need to make less, focus on quality, and market them well.
Except people dont watch all those safe ip movies/tv shows, they're nearly all flops. Look for example at that endless string of new star wars tv shows, nobody cared about that.
@@sznikers Pretty sure the Mandalorian was fairly successful.
Yep. Hence the free will illusion. Sorry to drop that 😉
It's definitely the studios issue. Why are shows costing so much. A series costing 100 million is starting off going uphill.
Acolyte cost 200 million and you just know half of that definitely didn't go anywhere into the actual end product aside from the credits
Above half of funds often go into marketing, half of remaining goes for few stars/other high profile figures mostly for PR. Budgets are very bloated, but effective production costs are often way less than it seems. And MBA kills everything, because for some reason management skills are more important than area of expertise.
@@kotokotfgcscrub Yes, but WHAT marketing? There hasn't been proper marketing in like last 10 years or so, with maybe few exceptions. At best you get one teaser and one trailer shortly before movie release and that's about it. Rest is just useful idiots on Twitter whining and calling anyone who criticizes "alt right yazis".
I don't recall when was the last time we had proper marketing to build up some movie or series, like for example when The Dark Knight was coming out and first they had blurry image of The Joker so people speculated what's he gonna look like (especially considering Heat Ledger was mostly known for his teen comedy movies at the time). Then they had "Gotham Evening news" play out, which was like talk show with different characters from the movie being interviewed in style of Late Night talks shows. They had Sal Maroni (Eric Roberts) be interviewed and asked to confirm if he's the new head of Falcone family, and there was also interview with Harvey Dent being questioned if Batman is real and if it's true GCPD works with him. It was such cool marketing (maybe you can find it online?) and also gives the cool immersion that shit was going on in Gotham long before the movie The Dark Knight actually starts.
This is the real issue: Star Wars: the Acolyte would have been a hit, if it had cost 20-50 million, instead of over $230 million. It's not that the studios can't make new things, it's that they can't make new things on a budget of over $100 million.
@@kotokotfgcscrub ok.... None of that matters even if accurate.
here's where you're wrong:
All those big studios wanted to compete with netflix, started their own streaming services and ruined their fundamental business - cinema and physical media sales.
They spread themselves too thin because they had to produce a ton of content to keep up with the demand of monthly paying customers.
The result are tons and tns of shows and movies that can't get your attention, or if they can they can't hold it for very long.
It's not the audiences fault if they're not watching that stuff, considering they would have to pay for multiple services and watch crap for basically 24 hours a day to keep up with the sheer amount of garbage that is pumped out.
And I haven't even brought up the problem that streaming movies just don't seem to have the cinematic (read visual) authority that true cinema has. They all blend together visually, they're not distinct, and therefore promptly forgotten after exploiting a small window of hype. Coupled with the fact that series in particular tend to fall off a cliff after their first season, even if that was stellar.
There's just so much attention to go around.
Western media is dying, meanwhile the Dandadan anime just started yesterday and is peak.
I would rather never watch another movie again in my life than watch anime.
Dandadan premiere was so good
bro said dandadan was peak, thats how u know society has failed
Asmon really missed the point here. He blames the consumer, to the point of exonerating the studio system, but the whole point here is nobody is watching this slop and yet the studios continue to pump it out year after year, and blame the audience for not watching. It's not the consumer's fault when there's countless video essays and Reddit threads telling the studio exactly what they're doing wrong. It's the studio's responsibility to make a profitable product, it's not my responsibility to buy your garbage year after year.

Well, looking at the shows that got listed in the video i can say that i've seen "the company you keep" that is about a guy and his family running a bar to clean the dirty money that make robbing things. One day he is in a hotel and talk himself into that asian MILF that is also an FBI agent, so now he and his family are on their "last big job" and she is close to catching them all the time, while other stuff goes down that is not AAA but on ok plot. It's a mix of oceans 11 and a female Hank from breaking bad. The truth is... i think modern people are to stupid to follow the plot that made sense, because the mafia boss had a kid with another women and that female kid was then going after the boss and his son (kinda like bullet train?). I mean at least the characters had clear motives and objectives that you could understand and that seems very rare in todays writing.
I even understand the FBI lady, because she was smart and most conversations with the other guys didnt spark her interested and then "mr street smart" talked her into bed... but in the end the love for him made her blind for the truth and she had to fight against herself in a way that seemed logical, so they created a situation where she becomes an "insider" and ratting the group out would also mean her end, so the family forced the FBI "girlfriend" of their son to do it in the way of the family (if you rob from the evil it's no crime) and in the end presented the Mafia boss in her name to the police, cleaning everybodys name, evil is gone and they saved the family bar in a shady but necessary way. Totally i show that i would recommand to watch with your girldfriend.
@@DreaMeRHoLic Exactly its just mixes of old good shows, there's nothing new, and you people are being educated into "settle and be happy for what you have now" instead thrive to get better things.
Asmon said it, he likes it this way because it makes content for him, as long as he makes a buck from it he is willing to sacrifice good things and people fall for it.
13:50 You can't blame people for not watching when most original series are just as bad as the remakes and sequels. Hollywood has been hiring people on as directors and writers based on race/gender for so long, the rot has set in, and most of them are not capable of telling good stories. The studios know that at least with established IP's, they can sucker more people into watching regardless of how terrible they are.
If an original series/movie is actually good, it will usually get word of mouth, and people will show up for it. This isn't like the anime industry that's heavily reliant on physical sales, and genuinely good shows get canned despite high viewership, because they didn't pander enough to hardcore otaku to buy multiple physical copies and merch.

Ya so much new stuff is just bad and flooding the market with stuff not worth watching
13:08 Honestly, I blame the shift from traditional TV to streaming to fragmented streaming apps. Before, most people had cable with channels from pretty much every major studio. A studio could make something new, put it in a primetime slot, and people would inevitably land on it while channel surfing. If enough people see it, like it, and tell their friends about it, then it becomes successful. Now you can't see everything in one place, everything is on different apps, nobody wants to sign up for a new platform just to watch one show, and cable TV is barren of new content. What are we supposed to do, subscribe to every service and spend 30+ minuets browsing every single one until we find something we want to watch? Nobody is going to do that!
Anime is more original but man it's got just one art style
If you watch generic stuff for teenagers and degenerates, yes.
We can’t have a single standalone movie today without a sequel or trying to turn it into a franchise
Yes, Joker 2 literally exists
Joker being the case in point. I knew they should have left it alone.
They tried I think but no one cares
your right but if a movie has more story to it why not some of the movies in the video are based on book and if theres a second book why shouldnt they make more you might not like it but other people will even with joker 2 its bad sure but if they used different story to tell it would have been good im just glad they exist i wish they were all good but it better then not having a movie like if every sequel they made was masterpiece you would want more
@@Deadpool-n2t2x I think movie studios don't know how to make movies for the zoomer audience. So they are essentially stuck pushing franchises and hope they stick out of sheer perseverance. It's a real problem. How do you entertain someone that is on tik tok? No movie is going to do that.
I don’t think it’s the audience, if a fantasy series like GoT was able to find an audience any good show can. Game of thrones was able to attain a massive audience and it got propelled into the mainstream through word of mouth and social media. As long as something’s good it will find its audience more often than not. These new shows simply aren’t very good.
That is so true. I can't tell you how many people myself included were told to watch game of thrones at one point and they dismissed it as bullshit they didn't like and then a couple years later started to watch it and binged it for weeks on it.
@@robdebone Yeah it’s a difficult genre for mainstream success. I think what’s happened is that we suddenly have all these streaming services that needed to fill their libraries, so they ended up with a very competitive environment for the prime writers out there.

That "transport into another world" a.k.a "isekai" isn't fully company's fault. Most animation company took that material from indie writers from either comic strip or indie novels that normally 2-6 years old prior its animation 1st episode release.
Mushoku Tensei, or Jobless Reincarnation, first I heard that was around 2013.
The thing about Mushoku Tensei is that it was the start of the mainstream appeal of Isekai. It was the inspiriation for Overlord, Slime, Re:Zero etc. It is the grandad of the Isekai trope as the basis for a story.
In theory, Rayearth and Escaflowne were before in the isekai departament.
But granted, Mushoku Tensei was the one who popularize the "japanese loser died, and resurrect with another life on another world".

Just in time for the 2011 release of Fast Five. Which was pretty good ngl, or at least 17 year old me thought so.
I had this same thought, so I went and looked up the box office numbers, and saw how they consistently were bringing in more money with each sequel with the 7th making 1.5 billion and the 8th making 1.2 billion and the next 3 making 700+ million each with only a 200 million budget so they will keep making them until they start losing money.

The fact that new properties don't get watched is bs. People don't watch them cause they're terrible, not cause they're new. Game of Thrones was practically a new IP (based on books read by a niche of a niche), and it was the biggest show of this millennia so far. Stranger Things (season one at least) was original and quite successful. And people are not watching know IPs either. Look at the numbers of every TV shows, and you'll see even "successful" properties are being watched by a fraction of the audience that used to watch any popular show 10-20 years ago.
The same can be said about the Witcher TV series. Well, before the writers ruined it. A new IP that to my knowledge was a book series that had only been adapted into a game series. They also IMO had the perfect casting for Henry Cavill, a good actor with a personal passion for the character. But like I said, the writers ruined it, lost almost 50% of their viewership, and drove away their star actor.
Modern series are ass even if the ip is good it has like 9 episodes a year. Back in the day we could get 20-40+ episodes a year for a live action show. Plus the art of having each episode a good watch on it's own with a self contained story but also contain a overarching story is basically dead. Having two episodes you have to watch in order for the story was considered a special event back in the day.
edit: You would have commercials hyping up the next episode in a two part special. It was a event, you got excited for that next episode.
Indie shows that are new somewhat like Hazbin Hotel (overall its not great imo) and Digital Circus are one of those IPs that are very lucky or very well made to be watched
the reason why our family usually watches asian tv shows cause they have unique stories and even their cliche stories don't bother us that much cause the show ends after 10-16 eps, they don't drag it and they usually film for months to a year only. If the show is really really popular the writer usually isn't willing to extend it but for special occassions some would make 1 or 2 special episodes so they very rarely do sequels let alone prequels. and if they do, most of their sequels are wanted by fans.
1 of the worst shows I’ve seen in recent memory was (I think on Hulu?) a new “Interview with a Vampire” presumably based on Anne Rice’s novels. It was so woke & cringe, we turned it off halfway thru the 1st episode. FTR I’m Latina myself, but this looked like my little cousin in Halloween costume. 😂 You cannot take an IP with a type of fantasy/ folklore on pale goth creatures from Europe, then cast it like it’s a school play in modern LA. It doesn’t even make sense. HBO’s truebl00d was a good attempt. Nothing comes close to that quality since.
We have plenty of LatAm myths of our own & I’m sure Africa does as well, so stop having us cosplay as European characters. It gives us secondhand embarrassment & breaks immersion
And Interview With a Vampire was already pretty diversity friendly featuring a gay vampire and his bisexual lover. But I guess that just wasn't diverse enough for their quota because all the vampires were white (since it was set in 1700s-1900s Europe and America).
I read the books, intimacy was suggested. Nothing ever happened beyond blood drinking. Some sick writer in Hollywood just had to stick their lgbtq nonsense in there. What a disappointment.
There was a particular scene where they were on a couch with a woman and things were getting weird. I turned it off. Another disgusting adaption by the sickness in Hollywood.
Mommy
I didn't last 10 minutes in the first episode of interview with a vampire. I'm allergic to BS
I miss when we got movies like Dredd 2012, Maze Runner, Resident Evil, Transformers, etc. Fun as Fuck movies that felt Gritty and bloody, despite alot of CGI being used.
No Dredd sequel is such a sad thing... that movie slapped.
Resident Evil movies were trash even back then.
@@mattoth6617it wasn’t preachy trash, which made for fun viewing/roasting parties
Urban along with Cavill are one of the few dudes I will immediately perk my ears up for when I hear they're starting in some tie-in or adaptation. Maybe Jon Bernthal and Alan Ritchson too.
The first resident evil movie was alright. Everything after that was pure dog shit@@mattoth6617
Marvel needs to make Robert Downey Jr all of the characters in the Avengers, where he's playing Kirk Lazerous from Tropic Thunder as all of the heroes and villains.
RDJ as Sam Wilson/Falcon will be a blast.
14:44 Others have done it, but their first roles were extremely minor. Enver Gjokaj, Gemma Chan, and Laura Jane Haddock had very small roles before they had a second more prominent one. Robert Downey Jr.? He was FUCKING IRON MAN!!! From the biggest MCU hero to the possibly biggest MCU villain? NOT AT ALL THE SAME THING!!!
The upside of cable was that relying on somebody else setting the TV program meant you would see stuff you otherwise wouldn't, eg original series. Left to picking stuff on our own, we pick what is recognizable.
Did Asmond just now discover RLM?
Apparently so
He can now react to over a decade of content untill Mike and Jay make fun of him for it XD
Original series don't make sense on streaming platforms because they are locked behind a pay wall and they make waaaaaaaaaaay to many of them.
The trouble with art is that you can go for mass appeal and lose societal relevance/interest later over time, or take risks, greatly increasing one's chance of failure, but also increasing the chance that you find something fresh.
The thing with buisness is that you can buy artists' IPs for a relative pittence, ride the horse until it dies, then buy a new one as needed. Also at times you can hire artists to do some necromancy when there is enough nostalgia in the air sometimes.
The touble now is that there are more zombie horses than regular ones, and necromancy has diminishing returns. Cinema/TV/streaming is dying (very very slowly), and eventually there will be noone left but risk takers. God knows how long it'll take before that happens.
This is the world of They Live meets Idiocracy. Some people even make a career out of just sitting back and doing reactions. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
Might as well throw Falling Down into that mix as well, seeing how things are going.
I'd argue that "Ouch my balls" would be totally riveting in comparison to most shows. Even Idiocracy fell short of the actual mark. We even didn't get the cure for baldness.
28 years later tbh was meant to happen to close out the trilogy. They aren't milking it.
Yea this one I'll allow, this has been in the talks after 28 weeks later
What trilogy? There was no overarching narrative.
It's literally 20 years after the previous film.
@@kchikwete The angry monkey virus trilogy
if i see a 28 decades later coming out im flipping the damn table
The reason I watch anime is that anime is actually sincere.
Same. Dandadan’s first episode was pretty good. Blue Lock is back and can’t wait for Sakamoto Days.
The worst anime could do is trash cringe generic Isekai.
It's not good but at least it's not as bad western's show.
I dont know why they went with real people in the Minecraft movie, so dumb, they should've just went for full animation or green screening them or whatever its called to make the actors look like blocky Minecraft characters
Part of the problem is that there's too many streaming services so when there is a good series it can't get enough views because everybody is watching something else on a different streaming service when there are less streaming services this won't be as bad. In short there isn't enough eyes to go around so there are not enough views to keep halfway decent original show going.
True. Sometimes I’ll see an ad for a show & want to see it. Then I google to see what platform to watch.. & I’ve never heard of the streamer. Most folks aren’t gonna buy a sub for 1 show. It’s a waste
I am from a Muslim country and people used to watch tv shows from the west like Prison Break and Person of Interest. right now no one watches anything from the west because of the all Identity politics staff
True especially on mbc action back in the day but now they only air some anime shows and formula one
@@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137 I didnt think about that channel for years
None of these shows or movies seem to aim for any sense of realism. It's all basically K-pop and VTubers now, a completely fabricated product that feels incredibly artificial and contrived. It's the equivalent of American processed cheese but for television.
honestly, between Concord, Redfall, Starfield, Forspoken, and Anthem, etc.... i can see why companies dont want to take risks on new IPs
Mike remembers asmongold from that one Star Trek episode “attack of the rat men”.
That’s right, Jay
@@bubblehulk7647 👍 Jay wouldn't know what a star trek is.but then there's rich.
people aren't watching original series because they make like 2 good episodes, or the first season good, and then the show gets infiltrated by activists who turn the show into a stupid political message, or the story has 0 consistency and is just cringe and unwatchable, or the characters are flat or really unlikable.
for sequels and adaptations, they totally change who characters are and main story elements all the time and it makes fans of the franchises angry.
5:24 that's because they make DEI trash. It's blatantly obvious. Every single one of these is chock full of shoe horned characters.
Most shows are not DEI trash so I disagree with that one.
@@Diogo85Right most shows are not DEI trash they're trash in general.
Me: "Just give me second Season of 86!"🙏
this video had better production than 99% of new movies
