This made me think of this recent video: "Why is every movie flopping?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9OAEzHI_yQ

I don't have high hopes for this.

The Super Mario movie made $1.4 billion so far

What's the TL;DR?

Relying on franchises and remakes has lead to "...the most boring, mundane, mind numbing movies made...."

And it's true. Hollywood needs a complete reset. I'm hopeful this bear-market of failures will be the catalyst.

Sadly, a live-action Legend of Zelda is exactly more-of-the-same (and will likely fail too therefore).

Something in the style of Into The Spiderverse or Netflix's Arcane or some aspects of the recent Namona or Puss in Boots. There's so much that could be done, especially if Nintendo hooked in a good and creative studio.
