In the West vs. East battle of entertainment industries, manga, anime and Korean dramas are steadily gaining ground
Be it films or comics, audiences seem to be growing tired of what the Western entertainment industry has to offer and many are turning their attention to the East.
For a long time, Hollywood and the American comic book industry have been seen as international media behemoths. It used to be that they never even faced any serious competition. But lately, they seem to be losing that grasp. The last decade of film and comics has seen a sharp decline in quality. And while, of course, there have been some HUGE successes like Marvel’s MCU films, raking in billions of dollars, nevertheless, it seems evident that audiences are growing tired of the same old formulas being rehashed over and over again.
Since cutting the cable and subbing to a couple of Streaming platforms I have had the chance to watch fare such as “Squid Game” which I enjoyed and also dull witted PC pap like “Designated Survivor.” The latter was so bad I could not finish it.
