Well clearly nothing is going to make you happy then, proceed with your bitch fest. Hopefully a movie gets made to your quality soon
I wasn't the one bitching, I was just commenting on your anemic sample size.

Old heads complaining all the time that new movies suck and movies were better back in their day and then they wonder why studios do a lot of sequels and remakes.
I’ve never understood the sentiment from some that sequels are automatically bad. Look if people enjoyed the original and there is a demand for a continuation, why shouldn’t there be more? I get it, some of them genuinely do suck. However, this whole notion that a bad sequel has any impact on the original is just silly.
There were over 900 movies released theatrically in 2018 and 2019 apiece. If you didn’t find at least a dozen movies to watch and enjoy, then that’s on you. I pulled up the list of the 100 highest grossing movies of 2018. I had heard of probably 95 of them and seen probably half or more of them. I had heard of at least a third of the next 100 after those.
In short, Hollywood makes plenty of movies, you just aren’t putting in any effort to find ones that interest you and rather piss and moan online about what’s popular to get your upvotes.
