If you want that $200M Marvel movie to exist, it has to monopolize screens, attention, and distribution networks. It’s not enough for it to break even. It needs to crush. And so, for you to enjoy it, 50 other weird, subtle, personal, maybe even beautiful projects need to vanish. There’s no room. The bandwidth’s gone. The theater chain dropped the indie to run Guardians of the Galaxy 9 on six screens. The game store won’t stock the narrative-driven $15 game because Fortnite and EA already ate the oxygen.

You can’t just “like both.” The ecosystem doesn’t work that way anymore. And that’s the quiet violence built into these entertainment economies: Your consumption requires the nonexistence of other people’s work.

Interesting take, but there's another side that Bravo is missing here. As someone who's worked in the industry, those $200M Marvel movies essentially fertilize everything else the studio produces. While those films may be their main bet, they also need to cover the themselves with a bunch of smaller budget films to address various audiences that make up the movie going public. This way they don't miss out on films that organically usurp manufactured blockbusters. Dark horses will always emerge in an-otherwise saturated marketplace. Thats what keeps it interesting, and why those weird, subtle, personal films that usually come out during the spring and awards season keep things from being too lopsided.

Who is making Marvel movies that are then going on to produce weird, subtle personal films? Seems like the actors and directors just keep coming back for easy paychecks. All the post teams at ILM are just working on Marvel year round

Are you sure he doesn't make it with what he did with Creed? He also has USC and Fruitvale station going for him. He was going places with or without Black Panther 

All the people I've worked with in the industry don't see it as just a job, they desire more but are forced to work on the Marvel's to just have a chance

Ryan Coogler. He wouldn't have gotten the budget to make Sinners if he didn't prove himself with Black Panther. That was considered a risk to make since it wasn't some pre-established IP. 
Sure, there are actors and directors are dependent on more cliché films, but for every visionary there's a dozen people who just see it as a job.
