Either that, or with generative AI, we're at the cusp of an era that makes the current pace and everything that came before it look sluggish.
I do think the rapid pace at which they pump these out is definitely a factor. Again, I don't understand the mentality of the execs who signed off on this kind of crazy release schedule, where we're getting like 2 or 3 live-action remakes a year, including ones dumped onto streaming and such, and a similar number of Marvel shows. Strike while the iron is hot, get while the getting's good, and all that, but did the idea that audiences have a refractory period between big releases and so finding the right rhythm of releases instead of just flooding them with content just not occur to them? And obviously the quality suffers, with CGI being a well known issue but also the important stuff like writing.
It's like the execs thought their audiences were vending machines, where you just insert latest content and get money back out, and the more content you insert, the more money comes out, with no limits. It doesn't take a genius businessman to know that this isn't how that works, and Disney isn't just a business, it's the top of the top of the top in its industry, the metaphorical New York Yankees of Hollywood. These execs should know enough about business not to treat their audiences like that, if only out of naked selfish interest.
