Jurassic Park isn’t far behind though.

          This might already exist but a Chinese Bond ripoff where the US are the bad guys would be banger.

            Chinese cinema leaves a lot to be desired tbh. Especially its action flicks. The budget may or may not be high, but they don’t have enough experience for decent effects compared to the west. And if it’s not action flicks, it’s usually k-drama knock offs lol. They do have less grandiose movies that look interesting though; there’s this sci-fi one about a journalist discovering a UFO

      I feel like James Bond would have legs if they got weird with it. Instead of trying to get serious they gave us a new silly art deco bullshit that would be rad

      I have not stopped enjoying MCU slop tbh. Though I am hoping Secret Wars leads to some sort of soft reboot. Idk, I’m an easy lay for superheroes, none of the post-Endgame stuff has been less than a 5 or 6 for me, shows included (though I havent seen Secret Invasion, I heard thats genuinly awful no matter your tastes). So as far as I’m concerned they can keep going. Like basically noone else is but I’m genuinely excited for Thunderbolts because I have sincere affection for the characters in it. I love Nebula and hope they tell more stories with her. I love Kingpin. I love my precious baby Kamala Khan. I have no problem if they keep going even if I’m going to be part of an increasingly shrinking audience.

      I do, admittedly, think the “cinematic universe” concept should be dropped and we should just do self contained superhero stories. The Infinity Saga is near impossible to top in that sense so like, just do other self contained things. Doesnt need to be franchises.

      Bond has the courtesy to wait a few years in between films, at least. That’s why I haven’t ever felt burned out by it - compared to the MCU which has a release every couple of months and feels like it just never ends.
