Here's a fun fact: in 2019, seven of the top ten highest-grossing films were sequels or reboots. But here's the kicker — that same year, Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, a completely original film, won Best Picture. See, originality isn't dead. It's just that reboots pay the bills so studios can take risks on weird stuff like a movie about a family living in a semi-basement. Without the guaranteed cash from a Marvel sequel, you don't get the greenlight for something that makes you think. Reboots and sequels aren't killing originality — they're funding it.
