“It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee,” she added. “Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they’re not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit. Even if films start to be made with AI, humans aren’t going to fucking want to see those.”

Starting by saying, I haven't seen this movie so this is an outsiders opinion.

This appears to be completely different than your standard super hero fatigue. Some movies are just bad.

That said, the Groots things you're expressing aren't new. Action movies have always had dumb plots filmed with one liners all over. The feelings you're expressing is that Super Hero movies are just also action movies. Personally, I find them more engaging and entertaining than non-super hero action movies specifically because they aren't trying to be realistic but also have a continuity that I enjoy. That's not a general populace thing. That's a specific reason I enjoy them.

The minions complaint is just super weird, though. Those movies are tailored to kids. Literally zero adults should be taking them as more than a kids movie.
