I get you, but I disagree. "The Boys" and "Invincible" are amazing shows IMHO. Great writing, great directing, great VFX, top cast delivering great performances. There's probably other great stuff out there but I don't have time to invest in finding and watching more.
It's mostly big-name Hollywood productions that suck nowadays because of their terrible unoriginal writing focused around present day identity politics(South Park's famous jab at Disney's focus to "put a black chick in it and make her lame and gay!") coupled with the lazy and excesive use of VFX, but there's plenty of gems coming from the European(Nordics, France, etc) and Asian cinemas than nobody ever hears about unless you go looking for them. Especially Korea has been knocking it out of the park in the last few years.
Foreign(from the US pov) cinema is killing it because they're not stuck chasing to milk existing franchises to death but cand afford to actually be original and take risks with new material, compared to Hollywood who's now the McDonalds/Starbucks of the entertainment industry, focused on selling bland predictable content at massive scale with insane marketing budgets, chasing profits.
- pokerface_86 3y agogotta disagree on invincible, i thought season 2 especially has been pretty middling. a show that ironically you kinda have to pirate due to season 1 only being available on amc+ and season 2 being available through prime, but only in australia and new zealand is Pantheon. feels like something the HN crowd would eat up too.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoYeah, second season of Invincible was mediocre, but I think that' because the first one was so good, it's difficult to top that, the curse of most sequels.
