Part 4/12:

Media, Politics, and Hollywood Reactions

The conversation shifts into critique of Hollywood’s reactionary stance—once leaders in storytelling innovation, now seemingly caught in a cycle of reacting to trends. The discussion about Marvel's box office failures, declining audiences, and the lack of compelling characters showcase a sense of betrayal by a once-loved franchise. The hosts lament that Marvel has become a reactionary industry, just like DC before it, constantly chasing superficial events rather than building meaningful stories.
