The studios used to make their bank on these big movies, which allowed them to fund a ton of smaller films that probably wouldn't make very much. That economic model is gone now, and unfortunately the film industry is struggling to produce quality in anything that isn't a giant blockbuster...and even then the quality is suspect a lot of the time.
That's why I yearn for those days because that was the peak economic model for movies. It gave a ton of opportunity for young filmmakers to break into the industry with low budget fare. Movies like Swingers or Clerks aren't being made now.

As far as entertainment goes, I wouldn't trade where we are today for the past, though. TV has become infinitely better. There are so many insanely awesome TV shows that are better than any movie.
I do hope this Marvel BS is winding down a bit, though. Superhero fanboy basic bitches have ruined the theater by supporting this garbage for way too long.
