Part 10/12:
Many viewers feel that Hollywood’s creative decline is due to a cultural and artistic disconnect. It often feels as though the industry produces stories that reflect the views and lives of creators who live diametrically opposed to the messages they craft. For instance, Greta Gerwig, a successful director and writer, reportedly works on projects with her husband that explore themes of independence and self-actualization—yet these themes are layered with a feminist lens that may not resonate in the way intended.
The frustration extends to other reboots and remakes, such as the Dexter prequel, which many viewers dismiss after a single episode. Characters and stories are often drained of their original essence, reduced to superficial backstories that fail to deepen audience engagement.
