Have westerns gone away? I recently started Netflix, and there seems to be an enormous number of TV series and second-tier new movies that are western-themed available there.
- krageon 8y agoThis is no doubt Netflix in the US? Internationally, I've not picked up such a trend.
- ghaff 8y agoWestworld (HBO) isn't a Western per se but it is a Western setting (exclusively so in S1). Godless. Longmire. It's definitely not the staple that it was at one time in the US but it's certainly not extinct. Which is what I meant by my upthread comment. I don't expect or wish superhero movies to go extinct. I'm sure they won't as they have antecedents that are literally ancient. (Greek, at least, mythology.) I just wish there wan't such a glut of them and that they didn't tend to incorporate so many of the annoying features of typical modern action movies.
