There are plenty of young people out there creating new and interesting things, it may not be on cable or whatever, but tv is a dead medium. A lot of younger people, like myself, don't even own a television, because there's really no point.Perhaps I'm just old fashioned or perhaps I knew the industry at one time. I saw the changes starting in the late 90's after the comic book industry collapse. Part of my dreams in creating content were shattered by some that Generation FAIL has put on a pedestal of today.
To them now it is a right of passage to destroy the past in any shape as possible. Nothing is sacred. Everything is fair game and held to the progressive standards of Extremism Hollywood/Entertainment Industry/Socialistic Ideals.
The problem is that there are enough assholes in Generation Fail to make this still profitable. It is the outlet for their own failures in life. They can't make it on their own so they will twitter rage on a platform to tear everything down.
There is a reason "why" I left the work force in 2006. Yea I could have made a few more mil, but at what fucking cost? I've seen this shit coming and I wanted no part of it.
This sickness you see on TV/Cable is a system of a failed ideology that has mutated into something that is called "Socialistic Capitalism", also known as Neo Fuedalism. This is a real thing now that more and more people are seeing the separation of society.
Anyone that does not conform to the ideals of where they work will be gate keep/removed/stalled in promotions/separated from financial wealth.
Those are the hardcore facts that the ignorant fail to understand until it is too late. They will be too old as society dictates and their value declines by those who hold power in their lives by the way of the economy.
So you have those in Hollywierd, whose value has been decline such as Kevin Smith. What has he really done of note? He's now a taking head for an ideology to make himself relevant. From a Stoner Character in a movie to a Boot Licker Producer/Influencer so he can continue make money and live his lifestyle by doing this shit over and over and over again.
It's easy to for them to be Edgy... Because they can't Fucking create. Only imitate/Destroy/Reset. And it shows on the quality of Television/Cable of today. No one Creates anymore. They DATA MINE OLD IPS. We had some many miserable reboots and retcons in the last 10 years because that is the general mindset of today. Imitate... Update... But NO CREATE.
The fact that he is a Gen Xer only proves my point again of those people that are in true power in this society are not the Boomers... They are much too old now but the Generation Jones (Obama, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos) and elements of Generation X. They are calling the shots. They are the ones that hold true power in this world by using Social Media, Peddling Influencers, Twitter Mobs, Entertainment Industry, News Media and anything that they can twist/mode/perverse of the past to get their social ideology across.
As far as Smith is Concern his time is coming. Trying to pretend that he is still young when he is pushing 50 is telling. Just like the Kardashians, you only have a certain amount of time to be relevant in the entertainment industry and unless you are able to reinvent yourself, you are going to be cast aside.
That is the price of being "Stunning and Brave"... and for the rest of us, who are normal... we have to suffer with this nonsense.
I used to be a massive Star Wars fan. And yeah, it still kinda grinds my gears about what happened with all of that, but you know what? I think, at the end of the day, growing apathetic and leaving the fandom actually improved my tastes. I started watching films Like House (Japan, 1979) and Amelie, and started to get into the work of David Lynch. I also expanded my knowledge on animation, and started to really check out obscure works from other countries (been on a big retro Soviet kick lately). As every year has gone by I have grown less and less reliant on Hollywood to entertain me.
Now, will Hollywood reset itself and strive to create film for the sake of film? Or artistic expression? I would honestly ask, why does it matter? The internet has decentralized the means of video production, and every year sees continued improvements in production tools and merchandising being offered to the common man. So i see your post, and I shrug, because at the end of the day, people like Smith operate in a machine that since it's inception in the 1910's has been a machine, and if it stays, or falls apart, really makes no difference to me.
