New York Times: The era of diversity in Hollywood is coming to an end - such films are no longer interesting to audiences

The New York Times published an article in which it touched on the topic of the so-called</span> “age of diversity</span>” in Hollywood.</span>

NYT believes that the emphasis on so-called</span> "diversity</span>" is coming to an end in Hollywood.</span> As an example,</span> the author cites the film</span> “Black Panther,” which in 2018 grossed a huge box</span> office</span> of $1.3 billion. However,</span> now such</span> film</span>s are increasingly showing box</span> office</span> failures, essentially</span> turning into a niche genre.

Unlike previous era</span>s, which were dedicated to Westerns/mafia/action</span> film</span>s, the era</span> of diversity</span> will not leave anything good behind: film</span> studios in an attempt to diversify film</span>s with representatives</span> of different races and nationalities, they essentially</span> made such</span> film</span>s bland and unmemorable, since they often added</span> characters</span> to the film</span>s at the expense of the logic of the plot. For example,</span> Captain Marvel, who is one of the most powerful characters</span> in the MCU, but ultimately played almost no important role in the film</span>s and was added</span> only</span> for show.

According to the NYT, the era</span> of diversity</span> is only</span> a temporary phenomenon, who doesn't have much time left. However,</span> unlike</span> Westerns, film</span>s about the mafia or action</span> film</span>s, there are not so many worthy representatives</span> of this era</span>, unlike</span> the film</span>s of Sergio Leone, Francis F. Coppola / Martin Scorsese or action</span> film</span>s with Schwarzenegger / Stallone / Van Damme.</p >
