Part 8/15:
The discussion shifted toward the failing prospects of major franchises, particularly Marvel’s, which has seen a sharp decline in audience interest and box office performance. The hosts criticized the oversaturation of interconnected media, noting how films and TV shows increasingly resemble homework assignments rather than entertainment. They pointed out the colossal budgets—highlighting that blockbuster movies like Doomsday could cost hundreds of millions without guaranteed success. The inflation of star salaries, combined with bloated production costs, signals a risky and unsustainable approach.
