    • Strengths: Studios have democratized access to content and pushed the boundaries of visual technology. Global production (K-Dramas, Anime, Latin American cinema) is finally getting the distribution budget it deserves.
    • Weaknesses: The obsession with scale has led to an oversaturated market where discovery is difficult and cancellation loyalties are low. The over-reliance on franchises is currently strangling mid-budget original filmmaking.
