I feel like studios don't know what to make post Covid, and they are still releasing pre Covid shit. There is this strange space where studios don't know what to do, then this happened.

They never really recovered from the 2008 financial collapse. That's when everything became a sequel/prequel/reboot. Technology and streaming didn't help but I remember it happening really fast after 2008.
