In the world of movies, there's plenty of fun to be had, from spotting bloopers on screen to exploring exciting movie worlds. Whether you're a casual moviegoer or a big fan, there's something for everyone. Movies take us to different places, introduce us to interesting characters, and stir up all sorts of feelings. Whether it's thrilling action scenes, deep dramas, or hilarious comedies, movies let us forget our everyday worries and enjoy the creative ideas of storytellers.

Let us shift our focus to the broader cinematic landscape and explore how movies have transformed over time, reflecting shifts in technology, culture, and audience desires. Bored Panda contacted Dr. Michael W. Boyce, a professor of English and Film Studies at Booth University College in Winnipeg, Canada and a host of a podcast about fans and fan cultures “Geek 4” to learn more about movie trends.

We asked Boyce whether there are any significant trends or patterns in the movies that are popular with audiences today and how these trends have evolved over time. He shared that for the last decade or so, the predominant trend in cinema has been towards large franchise movies, like the Marvel and DC films. “They have a built-in audience, and, by sharing characters across titles (like Doctor Strange in Spider-man: No Way Home (2021), studios ‘direct’ audiences to come along for multiple films. People think they have to see all the films in a particular franchise because of shared characters and stories.”

According to Boyce, the trend to create interconnected cinematic universes has become increasingly dominant and has been incredibly successful for studios. “But because of how expensive these films are to make, there has been a drastic decline in mid-priced films and fewer movies from genres like romantic comedies and dramas. Similarly, there are fewer original stories being produced and studios continue to prioritize sequels, remakes, and ‘reimaginings’ (like The Batman) of known movies. I don't see this changing,” the professor and podcast host noted.

Even as movies undergo a constant transformation, one thing remains consistent: the presence of movie mistakes or blunders. While some may find these slip-ups entertaining and enjoy the challenge of spotting them or nitpicking, others may simply view them as quirks of the cinematic experience. These errors add an interactive and playful dimension to our movie-watching experience, reminding us that, despite the thoroughly crafted worlds on screen, movies are ultimately a product of human creativity, and a touch of imperfection can make them all the more endearing.
