I want to be clear I don’t disagree at all you’re correct. Corporate control of art means they will go to any lengths to ensure profit.

But also, I really kinda glossed over the overarching problem, which is that the film industry is now driven by reviews and vibes reviewed by c-suite folks that answer to shareholders and don’t give a fuck about the actual film or show or whatever

This has always been true with the plastic arts but we’ve reached a zenith.

I will die on the hill that art cannot be considered a financial investment. It by definition has to take risks and investment people cannot handle that
