Give us original films, they like to say
I think the problem is somewhat deeper. Two original films finished #1 and #2 at the domestic and global box office last year, with the latter taking home Best Picture at the Oscars.

2 movies based on massive IPs.

Calling those two movies “original” is dishonest anyways. Barbie has been the most popular girls toy for decades and is a powerhouse IP in its own right. Oppenheimer was a WW2 psuedo biopic coming from one of the most popular directors of the 21st Century.
This notion that people want original films is a fallacy. Hollywood has been sourcing books, comics, real life stories, toys, and other media since its inception. Hell the highest grossing movie of all time (with inflation) is Gone With the Wind - sourced from a novel.
What is very annoying is when people see a sequel coming for a wildly successful movie that drew a great box office and was loved by the overwhelming majority of audience and idiotically wonder aloud “who asked for this?” The audience you fricking idiot, that’s who. Why the frick wouldn’t the studio continue the story of their characters when they have all the signs to do so? Just because YOU don’t want to see more of them or can’t fathom how they can tell another story featuring them doesn’t mean that other people feel the same way or that people far more creative than you can’t make it happen.
I swear some people just want to be miserable fricks and spread their miserable frickery online.
