The maths are pretty clear though, we know consumers have the money needed to pay for blockbusters and that they don't mind giving it over to view entertainment because that's where the companies get the money from - in fact we know that there is excess because a large portion goes to shareholders as profit.
Collectively we could combine community creation, open source tooling and creator funding to make things on a far larger scale than any marvel movie, I don't really think we should tbh but funding reasonable ventures, tools and resources is something we absolutely can and should be doing.
