That popped up on my feed too. Pro tip to that guy, if you want to talk about shitty movies, you probably don't want to use a pic from the STAR TREK reboot, as it's easily one of the best movies of the last 12 years (yeah, I know it's from ST 2, which was also decent. Maybe use CAPTAIN MARVEL?
And the reason movies suck? The answer's very simple. It's because guys named Scorsese, Spielberg, Millius, Carpenter, Jackson, and Favreau don't run movie studios.
As in none of them.
Guys with business degrees from Harvard do.
It all stems from there.

Yeah, but he's spot on with the writing though.
For a good example, let's look at JJ Abrams' movies.
He gets away with the first Star Trek reboot because he NAILED the casting, hands down.
BUT, what other Abrams movies are all that good?
Take Cloverfield (Abrams Produced), for example, how many times have you rewatched that film? Twice? Maybe?
Why not more? Because the characters suck. They're just unlikeable. You don't really care all that much if they save that girl or not because the main character is kind of a douche.
How about Super 8? No?
Star Trek Into Darkness? No?
I mean, one wonders without the spectacular (and ultimately WASTED) casting of Star Trek 09', JJ Abrams movies frankly kinda suck.
Force Awakens?
Rise of Skywalker?
And as far as how studios are run, you're almost right, but examine what's happening at Disney with Favreau's departure from the MCU and Feige's taking the helm post-Endgame.
Apparently, the studio has had enough of the horseshit Feige's been shoveling, as the studio head (who likes money) is butting directly up against a Favreau-free Feige.
Wokeness (essentially demented children) and screenwriting are a garbage mix, and this is definitely being borne out in the Box Office.
Figures don't lie.
