Yeah, e.g. I stopped paying attention to spider man movies for a few years, but the other day I was doing a recap and found that there is a movie with actors/characters from 3 different versions/reboots with the multiverse excuse...this is some dystopian shit.

I know that comics always had heavy intertext and "guest characters", but having the scriptwriting be driven by stupid circumstantial corporate decisions to buy IP rights to a specific character and then have to restart it multiple times to keep the rights going feels...dystopian?

(but I'll be thankful if you have any better words than dystopian to describe this bullshit, gpt suggests "soulless" ๐Ÿ™ƒ).
