Why is it that majority of the hollywood has this affinity for mediocrity ? isn't someone an inherent risk taker by choosing to be an artist for living ? or maybe it's just media who wants clicks and money that is giving a venue for these kinds of opinions/news. But majority of directors and actors who are not stars and don't have enough clout to pull audience into the theaters on their name brand are rooting for theatrical experience to die or be limited to the 10th movie in a franchise or remake of a disney cartoon. They love netflix because the 10 people who see their movies are happy and they will never bother about making art that will reach millions. This is the loser mindset of "if I can't get it then no one else should". The problem with this approach is it is putting even more burden on the ones who do have clout to get people to theater because, some of the fringe audience are habituated to staying at home and in enough time that number will increase substantially there by rendering those artists powerless as well.
In interviews some tv artists saying that real art is in TV but that is just their way of saying " I can't make art that could pull people to theaters...so i will make it for TV and be happy but not without belittling or invalidating the things I can't get".
