Part 7/10:

The Cultural Impact: The Shift in Movie and TV Content

This decline in storytelling quality leads many to lament Hollywood's obsession with formulaic, emotionless content. The poster child of this trend is the proliferation of trailers that follow a strict, AI-scraped template—featuring melodramatic music, ominous voiceovers, and quick cuts that offer little insight into the actual film.

The contrast with the 90s is stark; trailers used to be more lighthearted and character-driven rather than pure spectacle. For example, the trailers for Death on the Nile and other recent films follow this generic blueprint, making each new release feel indistinguishable from others. This homogenization has dulled the industry's creative edge, leading to audience fatigue.
