Look, I’m not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don’t care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn’t want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They’d rather buy lottery tickets.
New movies and shows.
It’s all just shallow products being pumped out by an uncaring industry that rather slurp up product placement, celebrities and milking dead franchises over writing an original story that’s worth telling.

Same, I never saw a MCU movies for instance
You’re missing out on some quality movies in the early part. Iron man, captain America, and the avengers were all very good. After that it’s pretty much civil war and infinity war that are any good.
Some people just aren’t into superhero movies.
Okay, but Iron Man is still a top-notch movie, even if you’re not into superheroes and stuff. And since that’s the first movie in the MCU you don’t need to watch any of the later ones to get the plot.
Not necessarily, it’s still taste. I like superhero movies, but hated all iron man stuff. Can absolutely not relate to a cocky billionaire main role. Not enough character arc on a per movie basis to like the movies.
The French word for “entertainment” is “divertissement” and you don’t need to know French to get what it is: a diversion from things that matter.
I realized far too late that most mainstream media is about maximizing views and not telling those stories that worth telling as you said. They start with an interesting idea for a story and if it gets popular it just drags on to get the most amount of eyeballs for as long as possible only for it to end long after it should have with an unsatisfying ending.
And don’t get me started on injecting soap opera esque character drama just to keep the lowest common denominator inerested (looking at you For All Mankind)
