This internal discord over Bond is symptomatic of a broader trend of media consolidation that has emerged across Hollywood. The shift toward mega-corporations controlling vast swaths of entertainment content—such as Disney, Warner Bros., and Amazon—has resulted in a landscape where creative diversity is often sacrificed for output quantity.
Amazon, in particular, exemplifies this with its relentless effort to flood audiences with content, regardless of quality, in the hope of gaining market dominance. The company’s emphasis on spin-offs and interconnected universes mirrors Marvel’s strategy but often results in over-saturation and franchise fatigue.
