      I think Team America: World Police proved that boring Hollywood sex isn’t what the people want.

      Recycling scripts and dragging 80 year old actors out of retirement makes for cheaper SEO and a higher gross from millennials/boomers.

      New shit is risky, which means lower yield into the next quarter.

      Also, copywriter/contract laws require media to use it or lose it. So you’re going to get an X-Men movie every five years whether you like it or not.

      It makes the studio money so it’s what gets green lit. Trying something new is risk. If could tank. Status quo FTL.
