I hate it when directors trash superhero movies. If you want to critique them, don't be an internet shitposter. People worked on those movies just as hard as you work on yours, and they provide entertainment for millions. Sorry your historical French tragedy didn't make bank.
It's not the industry's or the audience's fault that you made a movie about subject matter that most people don't care enough about to drag themselves to a theater during covid. Oh yay, a movie about a woman on trial for being raped. Fun Friday night activity!
Audiences are not dumber. They just have options. We are in a golden age of prestige TV and you'll never run out of quality stuff to watch until a movie like this is on demand. A theater used to be the only way to watch something like this.

I can sit down every night of the week and watch hours of award winning shows featuring the biggest stars in the world. Getting me out of the house needs some added value and yes, big screen spectacles have added value on a big screen lol.
People aren't watching dumber stuff in general. They just adjusted their theater going habits to big spectacle popcorn flicks because they can get their heftier and more serious content at home. Ridley Scott should make something prestige-level for HBO and see how well he does.
