My movies babbles

 

Is the movie industry of the west making movies for the audiences or for the money? However it could be neither. Movie making was usually for the audiences, something the audiences wanted but it may not be blockbuster. Or it maybe blockbuster but it will be just another dumb movie with explosions or car chases. Today, it seems, for the superhero genre movies are dying. Marvel, ever since Avengers End Game, their later movies aren't that performing. While most can still bring in some money, they are usually forgettable. DC superhero is worse. Their management is ever changing and undecided for the direction of their DC world and a rush job to bring in all the heroes makes the story telling bad. Now there seems to be a new trend. To race swap or gender swap for movies remakes or new movies. It makes no sense to make such changes, if you are going to retell a successful story, making such changes make be a bad decision. Imagine James Bond became Jane Bond. But then, at least it is the story of Jane, but using the 007 brand to market Jane Bond will probably have viewers who likes the male character feels short changed and watch other movies.
