| I don’t know whos in charge of quality control over in Hollywood but oh lord, blockbusters are at an all time low right now. Aside from guardians of the galaxy 3 and across the spiderverse (and even that was ruined by a stupid cliffhanger ending), I’ve been really disappointed in Hollywood blockbusters lately. Either they’re just uninspired capeshit (Shazam 2, ant man), generic schlock (renfield, John wick 4, evil dead rise, super Mario), useless additions to old IPs (Transformers rotb, Indiana Jones dod) or just riddled with plot holes and bad writing (Fast x, the flash, knights of the zodiac). I miss the days when we had blockbusters that were actually made with passion such as Terminator 2, The dark knight and The Matrix. Quality is so bad id rather watch modern anime over an average blockbuster and we all know how trash modern anime is rn. Rather rewatch chainsaw man than Ant Man Quantumania. What does everyone else think? Are they stinkers now or are there gems that I’ve missed. Also I know there are some amazing films, but most are indies. |
| Hollywood blockbuster where never all that to be honest, we just tend to watch the better ones from back in the day. There is too much good stuff coming from smaller movie markets and too many good old movies for me to ever care about what Hollywood is doing to day. If anything we are in the era of A24 (Everything Everywhere) films and Korean "blockbusters" (Parasite) |

| I mean yeah. Ive been checking out what movies had to offer after i got burned out from watching so much anime, but now im crawling back lol. |

| Me too, I lost my interest since early 2010s and switched my interest with Asian media or stick with titles that released in pre-2010s. |

I loved both guardians of the galaxy and across the spiderverse, thought they were amazing gems in a sea of massive mediocrity. Problem I had with spiderverse though was a very tacked on and forced cliffhanger ending and the idea that it commits a sin very common in many time travel/multiverse stories (that being introducing a evil counterpart of a character who is essentially good). Other than that it would be a 10/10 and beyond the spiderverse is my most hyped movie for next year. I’m also excited for Barbie, but idk I would consider it a mainstream blockbuster in the same vein as something like John Wick 4 and Ant Man. |

They aren’t perfect or anything and there are a myriad of flaws, but I often find passion in them that I don’t seem to notice in a lot of this Hollywood trash |
| And just now you come to realize this? Big-budget Hollywood has been drowning in mediocrity for at least 8 years now. I think the last truly outstanding blockbuster they delivered was Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015. |

But I think recently they’ve hit such a new low that id rather watch modern anime over them |
