Ok devil’s advocate. What’s more original? Thor 3: Ragnarok? Or Jojo Rabbit? Both great films imo; both by Taika Waititi.

The former features marvel’s Thor, who’s commercial af. But it goes to a new world, has a markedly different tone, humor, themes, and plot. The plot hits themes of humility and identity and the specifics of the ending were, imo, not very predictable.

Jojo rabbit is set in WWII with all original characters with some great bits, but an overall plot that’s fairly predictable.

You could easily argue it’s still Jojo rabbit, but is there anything obviously bad about how original Thor 3 is? I think no.

And there have been lots of great movies in the past year even. Everything everywhere, Last Night in Soho, massive talent, etc.

Edit: the formulaic rom coms and action movies and comedies were the bigger issue to me. A mildly novel setting, or perhaps, novel buddy cop duo, added far less interesting material than things complained about here.
