    I mean, even now the overwhelming majority of movies are about white men. Maybe there are other cultures, ethnicities, minority groups, etc with vastly different stories to tell? Give me a romcom about a T4T couple, or about a historical fiction about Thai mythology, or the Australian aboriginal origin stories. IMO there are lots of stories from around the world waiting to be told…

    But we wont get those, we have the 653rd marvel movie coming out instead.

      Great point, there is much to tell from elsewhere in the world. However Hollywood tends to take that and make it pretty much the same film again.

      Maybe the issue is that Hollywood has run out of ideas and the solution is we need to be getting our films from the other ~woods instead
