is there a soul anywhere in hollywood with an original idea anymore?

yes but nobody will pay to go to the movie theater to see those anymore.  They want to see it on a streaming service in their home as part of an 8 episode series.

If they make a good IP related movie that fills the theaters.  Your run of the mill good movie is not enough to get people out of the house for 3-4 hours it takes to see a movie now, plus the added cost of tickets and concessions.

For me I think the peak was the early to 90's.  Pick a random month and year and you find so many bangers.  Every week you could go to the movies and find something great.  I think the fall off from that isn't due to quality of content but changes in consumer behavior.  These movies people like to bash as unoriginal are often the ones keeping theaters alive.
