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.

Also, check the OA — it’s doing something really interesting in the vein of metamodernism with the end of season 2. Basically completely blurring the lines of tv world and “real world” in an ingenious way. If you’re interested in the future of world-building, this is THE show.
