I don't understand the fascination with constant remakes or sequels of stuff that really isn't all that interesting now, like does nobody know how to be creative and make something new or different? Nostalgia time, but wait, its been done stupider and every fifth line is some dumb joke...

Because they sell. For all the criticism people like to throw out, remakes tend to net more viewers than new series. Not everyone of course, but a casual moviegoer is a lot more likely to go watch something that’s part of a series they know over a title they don’t.

I know and that's just an incredibly disheartening truth.

If you think it's disheartening as a consumer, imagine how disheartening it is for the creators. Spending months, or even years of your life creating something, and then being unable to get people to watch, or read, or play it for no other reason than the fact that it's new and/or unfamiliar to them. That's why it's always important to at least give indies a chance when you're able. I can guarantee that indie author/dev/director/musician/etc. will appreciate that purchase a lot more than some big CEO.

I know, you're once again spot on but for a lot of people art is dead and they don't care! It's just sad because like you said there's a bunch of indie creators that will never get the recognition they earned, or even a chance to be heard[url=https://youtu.be/Ombvy1y_xXM?si=Prv7SrUUU83XEpVj] like Beethoven or Bach without a chance to bloom or for Shakespeare's words to never be consumed.

Oh trust me, I'm well aware. For one, I'm an indie author, so there's that, but also even before that I tried to get people to play indie games all the time. But most Titanfall fans wouldn't even try Neon White--which should in theory be right up their alley. But, for what it's worth, not everyone thinks like that. If you actually start joining communities that engage with art on a deeper level, you'll find a lot of them are super receptive to indie works, and trying new things... To an extent. It's still tough to get people to play or read something totally unknown, but at least they branch out more than just the casual audience. And if nothing else, it's nice to hear people talk about these things on a deeper level. For gaming I like to go to Game Maker's Toolkit and Architect of Games, and for writing (which usually covers books and movies/TV shows) I like Overly Sarcastic Productions, and I used to watch Hello Future Me a lot, but haven't as much in recent times. And I personally love just hopping on the store page on Xbox and just looking at anything and everything that looks interesting, regardless of whether I've heard of it or not.

Although small, at least there are still some people that consume and enjoy art. And others still who will go digging to find those that never got a chance. Even then an amazing piece of art can have a chance only to be overshadowed by something flashier or it gets completely misunderstood and shoved to the side by the people who are responsible to bring attention to works of art because either they're complete idiots or just have no moral credibility and sell out. Edit: Meant to link a song where that last line from my previous reply came from, an artist who never got the attention he desired and coming to terms with it. I think as an artist yourself you may appreciate it.
