I'm not that big on Kaiju actually though i warmed to it in the last few years.
The Japanese achieve their entertainment peak in the 70s just like Americans. Looks like the bubble economy ruined that a little but. Money always ruins .

I agree the silliness is different, but that’s hardly the point now isn’t it? It’s a little inconsistent, and maybe just a little bit biased if we’re being honest, perhaps? And that’s ok. I happen to enjoy Japan more than the US. Even it’s silly films. Especially their silly films! Kaiju films are just so much more fun!
HK, not as much so far. I still have a handful of their “hopping vampire” films saved that I’ve been meaning to watch, so I’m hoping they aren’t too bad.

The silly in the US is different from the silly in HK or Japan.
Spielberg is good but lame and he destroyed cinema in the 70s and later 80s. HK took what Spielberg destroyed and managed to save it the best they could.
Pre-code 1930s is indeed some fun in the US but their best directors weren't even born in the US like Lubitsch.
Box office says nothing. Normies will usually swarm to watch the worst stuff. Their opinion is worthless.

Can we all get serious!?!
I’m pretty sure that Skittles Littles are just Nerds. Nerds don’t Taste the Rainbow.

Greetings.
Cigarettes is a false equivalence.
For sure, US made their fair share of silly stuff. Some work. Some don’t. But you can’t criticize the Us industry for it while ignoring or praising Japan or Hong Kong for the same thing. And there’s enough to go around there.
Outside of the 70’s, I’d also say the 20’s and 30’s were very big.
Spielberg is a master. He does what Hark does, only better 😉

They did get it briefly in the 70s but then the blockbusters and silly stuff entered the scene. I blame Spielbeeg and 1980s boomer economic wonder.
Most of the world accepted Marvel or smoking cigarettes too.
I understand them. They're just not that great with making entertainment
