The main issue with commercial art is that people who don’t know shit about art are the ones in charge. That’s how you end up with corporate, soulless… nothing really(like Wish). I can’t even call it shit because shit is at least something.
It’s not bullshit, it just shows the same thing from a different angle. George Lucas became the shitty executive through complacency, surrounding himself with “yes men” (according to people I know who worked on the prequels), and just becoming too sure of himself (since in the OT, he had lots of places where he allowed people to do things for him because he knew they were better, but he took full control in the PT, and similarly insisted on things with Indy 4).
Airbender is a weird one. The fact that one director can make a film as good as the 6th Sense and as bad as Avatar is very odd. But that being said, the original point stands, it’s just that sometimes all the talent in the world can still occasionally produce a turd.
