Will Wheaton was Wesley Crusher on Star Trek but he's been trying to be a
geek influencer for the last couple of decades making cringe takes. Now he's lamenting there's no movies Hollywood produces that he likes.

Woke conformity is only one part of the problem, IMO. Another is the
dearth of original ideas.

The sad part is that smaller studios are still making mid-budget movies
with original ideas, and people are still very happy to go see them when they're available, but they don't seem to get into the theaters. I guess
the major studios force them out to push their latest bland, superficial attempts at blockbusters.

I gave up after watching him claim he wasn’t in one of the TNG movies that
he was clearly in and that he wasn’t in Picard, which he also was clearly
in. The guy has mental problems.

Most of the "mainstream" movies these days are idiotic reboots,
remakes, and/or resurrections.

How many times do we have to see Superman's origin story??

Why is Disney so lazy and talentless that all they can do is remake
their previous animated successes as live-action dross?? (Dreamworks is
now following the same silly path with their latest "How to Train Your
Dragon" live-action remake.)

The powers that be see us declining to watch Marvel, and the most
original new direction they can think of is to try DC.

Live action is cheaper than animation. The first live-action remake was
legit well-received. Then, they began beating that one success to death.

I watched an update about him blaming Trump for the Texas floods.

If Amanda Bynes was an unattractive man, she would be will Wheaton
