I like silly sci-fi poo poo, but I'm tired of seeing the same tired characters and storylines released and re-released in a yearly blockbuster event where they then utterly dominate internet discourse. I don't have to watch them, but I do have to put up with seeing people talk about them, analyze them, pick them apart, buy the merchandise, rant and rave about how much they love/hate them. It's inescapable.

Can we do some new stuff instead? Can we kill Disney and force it to break up into countless harmless companies so that other properties may rise and join the media? Can we do the same with Fox and Warner Bros.? How many fun, imaginative new movies with new stories to tell didn't get made because we have to film Avengers: Infinity Franchise? How many thoughtful, meaningful movies got shelved because people wanted to see an old Joaquin Phoenix put on clown makeup and pretend to be a dead horse that has been kicked so thoroughly it's been reduced to a souplike homogenate?

Disney isn’t the reason you aren’t watching different movies you just aren’t looking for them. You can get mad at disney for its monopoly on popular culture, but breaking it up wouldn’t suddenly make popular culture cater to your specific tastes

I’m actually making fun of your kind of dumb and infantile arguments.

Breaking up Disney would be a good thing, but it won’t make the movies that make you mad go away or really have any effect on that front at all.

If Disney wasn't pumping infinite money into safe interconnected superhero franchises, we'd definitely see less of 'em. Even if a dozen other studios started cranking out caped blockbusters, we'd see a greater variation in theme and tone.

I even like cape films, but we're definitely oversaturated.

I used to like them too, but there's no satisfying climax, no end in sight, just endless narratives designed to advertise for the next movie and its associated media spinoffs and tie-ins and reboots and re-imaginings and alternate universes and sequels and prequels and animated adaptations and manga adaptations and toys and merchandise. Same thing with Star Wars, which, coincidentally, is also a Disney property.

Can't things just end anymore? Does everything have to be milked for all eternity?

No it isn't. I don't see any of that stuff. Just don't watch/read things that don't interest you. It's really easy.
