Think about it, when dvd came out just about all the movies industries, companies decided to drop making pies for vcr on VHS.
That medium died out and never really had the chance to evolve because of this. There was even an (or a few) HD VHS tapes that most wouldn’t believe were made on VHS.
Another more recent example of this problem is, now allot of media companies are chasing after ai. Are there any major companies that make movies/shows/cartoons/anime that are not in some compacity?
We need companies that take different paths, and, not do exactly as everyone else is doing. That’s what’s wrong with the movie and film industry today. They’re appear to me to be, afraid, and cowards, to think out of the box. There afraid, and scared to stand out, and be interesting. To wreck other companies. Scared, and afraid to compete. Cowardly. these companies seem to be.
edit: why are we still on blueray, why isn’t their a newer physical media format for movies? Some might say that physical media is dead, I would say that it seems like no one (company) wants to step out of line and make a newer format to replace blueray.
If this were a complaint about not having physical media, whatever.
But VHS is dead for a reason.
Absolutely, VHS is a dead format for some pretty obvious reasons by this day and age.
However the bigger picture I was focusing on was that the industry makes similar actions together and not collectively. While the companies typically work independently, they copy and don’t create as much they don’t tend to do anything impressive like they did even just 8-10 years ago. Nothing is unique except what they happen to own as ip. And a lot of their content is rehash and not much is new from scratch.
Which is why I included the second example which is more modern. Talking about ai companies all chasing ai. But why is it that they all seem to be interested in it, and you have what seems that none of the well known media companies thinking, no we don’t feel we need this and not using it?
