I'm past 40. I don't give a fuck about TV or movies anymore. Disney is in trouble.
I'm in the same boat. I feel like everything is just regurgitated over and over again. Every twist, every turn. And I'm tired of watching something and be able to predict, what the plot will be. It's the same with music. Many songs are written to perform by metrics, like length and listener retention in the first 30 seconds, so that you reach the magical monetization line on the streaming platform of your labels choice.
It's always been this way. We're just old enough now to see the cycle for what it is.
No, I don't believe that to be true.
Writing these shows is now so industrial that inspiration is never the driving factor.
It's the difficult second album problem. Your first album was a big success because you'd been polishing the tracks for 5-10 years whilst you were trying to get noticed. Youve now got 6 months to write the next album.
TV and film writers are never given the time to properly develop ideas because the industry needs more content now.
