    I don't care if it ends up being regarded as the greatest film of all time, nothing will convince me that will be worth watching.

    Maybe I'm wrong and need to think about it more, but that take feels very blatantly untrue

    No I think it’s correct. People don’t see movies for actors anymore, they seem them for IP.

    Look up how many up and coming actors are kids of celebrities. It’s kinda wild.

    The star system was mostly destroyed over the last twenty years or so. The studios don't want to be held hostage by movie stars' demands anymore, so they will find a lot of lesser known or completely unknown talent to headline their films.

    Look at the megafranchises that have dominated for the last few years. How many of the actors were big stars before the movie or franchise started?

    I guess the "vibes" part is what is ringing hollow for me. Nepotism has always been around

    Also, we still have romcoms haha? They're just a few years ahead of the game in terms of going directly to streaming services

    Charisma and chemistry are just less important but not necessarily non existent, Margot Robbie and Emma Stone are probably traditional movie stars but it's rare

    Rom coms just went the way of every other mid budget genre.

  16. Rom-coms are apparently dying and yet we've had our first(?) predominantly-Asian rom-com within the last few years. People are sick of franchises, but we're just now finally getting trailers for our first Asian-led superhero film.

    Yep and then stuff like Happiest Season too. We’re getting them, hopefully with more representation

    Yeah I think romcoms are getting less white and less straight and hopefully soon less cis. I’ve really enjoyed watching the genre expand a bit and say that they don’t exist anymore or “we don’t have them” feels like it comes from a very narrow lens

    I think it's also that the traditional studio and theater system is evolving so it's harder to have a movie break out

    Juno and Bridesmaids might have been the last by those metrics

    Are people actually complaining about Willy Wonka 3? All I saw were jokes about the guy from Call Me By Your Name being too attractive for the role.

    I don't want to see the origin story of a man who literally has slaves and tortures children
