Years of arty indie films and massive block busters and cool tv shows

Comic book stuff probably peaked 2017, 2018 it starts to fall, you still have Thor Ragnarok, Wonder Woman, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ...Logan a great movie!
Avengers Endgame might have been the start of the end


Will we have to go to Australia and Japan and China and New Zealand to get our fix of tv shows and movies?

Will there be a brightside to this, maybe the whole hollywood thing got too big and corrupted, maybe the smaller compnay can bounces back, smaller indie films from Hawaii, Texas, NYC and Florida and other states

2019 was a huge year Incredibles 2, the Joker, Frozen II, Alita Battle Angel, Spider-Man Far From Home the list of box office hits taking int hundreds of millions world wide went on and on.
From the US and comicbook land, the Marvel Cinematic Film franchise is worth 8 Billion, more than Potters, Bond, scifi Starwars series and others all combined
2019 was Massive year for Block Buster films, the final end to the Avengers franchise
Avengers made $858,000,000 + Domestic and International $1,939,427,000 +
DC was making a comeback in Aquaman and Wonder Woman ideas


then came Corona in 2020

and it was election year, Politics is everywhere, left vs right nonsense dividing America, the bvirus hits entertainment hard...suddenly its almost a ghost town
We still got to see tv shows American Gods, The Man in the High Castle, Alan Tudyk Resident Alien, "Chernobyl" docu drama, The Orville, The Mandalorian

It seems like the 90s or maybe the 1980s, its barron and dusty, shows come out glacially or at a trickle
they dont do 24 eps per season anymore

A season is now 8 eps released once every four weeks!?

Wonder Woman ii or WW 84 made $37 Million Domestic New Mutants based on some Xmen story did 20 Million!?
Most movies in production 2019-2021 will now flop without knowing it, the actors, production teams, fx guys went in expecting hits but its not coming
To compare Wonder Woman the first film made $412,563,000 +
and international $409,283,000 +
Worldwide $821,847,000

The Matrix 4 could be on hold forever
Black Widow will be delayed again
Will Dune ever come out



Will this thread be a Best of Australian TV Shows or Chinese New Zealand and Japanese movies?

I'm amazed at how well the whole S.Korean tv and film industry is even though they stand next to powerhouse nations like Japan and China, their own film industry is incredibly strong and continues to grow


The US comicbook stuff still is coming ... eventually


Some delays Morbius / spiderman ; old release date: March 19, 2021; new release date: October 8, 2021



a new The Batman; old release date: October 1, 2021; new release date: March 4, 2022

Foundation (Apple TV)
The series based on the book by Isaac Asimov shut down production


Disney has delayed “Black Widow” from its November 6, 2020 release date. It will now be released on May 7, 2021

Every MCU show headed to Disney+ that had started filming in 2020 was forced to shut down. Loki's release date is still, currently, set for May 7, 2021.

I actually never watched season 3. When I was actively watching TV, I usually waited until an entire season was out before I started it. But then they cancelled it and I was just done. Really, it may have been that cancellation that sparked my disinterest in TV shows altogether. Firefly was far from the first, and I'm sure Dark Matter wasn't the last.

I figured the show was safe. It was super low budget compared to Kill Joys. That's actually the reason that it survived for a season 3 while Sci-Fi was doing some restructuring and deciding what the lineup would look like that year. Maybe the actors contracts were up after season 3 and some of them were holding out for more money?

I absolutely loved the first two seasons. If you haven't gotten to the one where they do a Groundhog Day type time shift episode, you owe it to yourself to at least get that far with it. One of my favorite single TV episodes of all time, but I never get a chance to show it to anyone because I don't think it would be as good for somebody who hadn't watched the show from the beginning and gotten to know the characters first.



EDITED TO ADD:

Well... I must have at least started season 3 before the announcement came out. (Sorry... my mind was a bit... foggy... back in 2015/2016).

The time shift episode is Season 3; Episode 4: All the Time in the World

Disney is being threatened with losing their copyright of Mickey Mouse to the Public Domain because of all of this child grooming creepiness.

That's good.

The bad news is that if they weren't being creeps, nobody would be talking about stripping them of the Mickey Mouse copyright that they should have lost decades ago already.

Disney has far too much power and needs to be dismantled.

I might try Moonhaven, some of the Fantasy stuff is beyond retarded, Tried Picard it was impossible to watch...Nothing worth watching, nothing worth talking about. Hollywood and Netflix keep making trash I might return to South Korean tv again.

Shining Vale could be ok, seems like a horror comedy.

I recently watched a show called Undone, created by Amazon.

I really enjoyed it.

I'm hoping they don't make a 3rd season. They certainly leave it open ended enough where they could put more at the end, but after a few days of digesting it I decided that unless they have something terribly important to add and a better way to end it, they shouldn't even make the attempt. The more I thought about the wrap up and looked back on the show the more I believe that this was not only the perfect ending to the show, but with a premise that could easily have trivialized EVERYTHING, it was the only ending that could be made that trivialized NOTHING.

I challenge the writers to prove me wrong about that, but only do it if you really mean it.

I don't want to say any more than that right now for fear of spoilers.

Just watch it.


Here's the trailer:

Jurassic Park III?

I won't shit on the dude for making that choice. I'm a huge fan of The Postman, Waterworld and the Super Mario Bros. movie even though they are all almost universally hated.

A lot of shows and cartoons seem to be Japanese anime or video game to cartoon animation, soem German shows are doing ok, South Korean shows are very popular and a Swedish influenced 'Tales from the Loop'



a lot of stuff slips under the radar, German scifi or Tear Along the Dotted Line Italian: 'Strappare lungo i bordi' a 2021 Italian adult animated comedy drama

as for Hollyweird

and 2025?

Hollywood might be finished, US indie studios have popped up, small European studios doing ok, South Korea dominates, people are playing Japanese video games and South Korean movies have become popular.


What is coming, Blade whenever that is, The Crow whenever that is? 28 Years Later, Wolf Man remake again. Dogman, Snow White if it ever sees the light of day, Superman reboot remake reimagining, The Fantastic Four again!? Avatar 3.

Daredevil Born Again, the Penguin movie or tv series? Ironheart a female Black Wakanda African miniseries where a girl is Ironman, Cobra Kai continues


can old school writing save it all?

No. No. No.

Absolutely not.

How are they going to ruin this one now?

I mean, other than race swaps and removing more jobs from dwarf actors.


Go remake some bad shit if you can't come up with any new ideas.

We did get 'Dark Matter 2024'

StarTrek and StarWars seem finished

I never thought I would see South Korea dominate science fiction and beat Hollywood, anime come back so strong, smaller indie US and Euro films do better than Hollywood and then people go to China looking for science fiction material

Can you class superhero stuff like Deadpool Wolverine as scifi?

Delayed during Covid, that Slingshot movie
