Is there a community well suited for a topic like this? For now I’m gonna also list some not franchise/reboot etc. I won’t exclude things based on books since I don’t always know and they don’t follow close always anyway.

Horror : The Menu Barbarian The black phone

Comedy : The unbearable weight of massive talent Spin me round Palm Springs

I wish it was easier to see a list of things you have watched already. These are the few I can remember being happy with. I think it’s action movies really that suffer from this trend and variation of playing it safe and a lot more freedom to take financial risks.
