As you may have heard, Julianna Margulies is the latest celebrity to have shoved her foot in her mouth on the whole Gaza thing. No big mystery here. Before October, there were quite a few thinkpieces about the death of movie stars. Stars have been replaced by IP and, although Marvel has been taking it on the chin lately, I have yet to see anyone write about the end of franchises, let alone fandoms.
The problem with Fandoms is that they encourage complacency and a fanatical devotion to the past. Fans say they want experimentation and creativity, but look at the reaction to "The Last Jedi".
We can hope for a new and exciting franchise that blends the best of the old with the new, but the way Hollywood is now I'm not counting on it.
