    That is all modern studios. At the start of the 21st century studios have been trying to quantify movies in a way where executives/producers can dictate a “perfect” movie for the greatest Return On Investment without those pesky 80’s and 90’s creatives doing whatever they want. I mean who wants creativity in art. Disgusting.

    And especially in large franchises like James Bond or the MCU and DCEU.
