Part 7/11:
The panel notes that audiences are increasingly fatigued by endless sequels, reboots, and spin-offs. They observe that even promising projects like Peacemaker Season 2 have failed to capture audience interest, in part because of overexposure to stale content.
They compare the current wave of media to the "cargo cult" phenomenon—emulating the appearance of success without substance—resulting in visual resemblances but lacking depth or originality. This critique extends to streaming shows that mimic the aesthetics of beloved franchises but fail to deliver compelling storytelling.
