Planning to watch Endgame next week. Feels like the end of a cultural era. A fall of Soviet Union type moment in mainstream pop culture that closes an era of increasingly lavish world-building. Matrix trilogy —> LOTR —> Harry Potter —> Star Wars 6-9 —> MCU TV: Sopranos —> GoT
The new era has already started I think. John Wick is a good prototype franchise for the new era. Much more stylized, bordering on mannerism.
Your tweets reminded me that Ebert wrote an article back around the time of Matrix and Dark City outlining how he thought it was the start of a big trend towards more fantasy or even magical realism if you want to call it that. Looks like he was right.
Also: loose world-building via anthology systems. True Detective, American Horror Story, the new Star Wars one-shots. Currently watching “Love Death and Robots”, and boyoboy does it resonate.
This sounds like an early structural shift that will support a more experimental, distributed model of world creation, encouraged by a new age of tech-driven content companies eager to end-run existing giants’ back catalogs.
