Someone Online Was Curious To Know “What Do You Wish Hollywood Would Stop Doing?” And Here Are 25 Of The Best Answers
Now that we're presented with multiple streaming platforms such as Netflix, HBO, Hulu, etc., that provide us with different TV shows and movies, it seems that everyone is giving their best recommendations left to right. Now that we have access to an unlimited number of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and other types of visuals, we’ve also become quite meticulous and picky about what we watch and what we expect from creators. One Reddit user @u/MainCrab1383 was curious to know from other internet users and movie lovers what are some of the annoying things they hate seeing on screen, so they asked: “What do you wish Hollywood would stop doing?” The question received 29k answers that stressed various issues in the movie industry.
A lot of us will agree that making a movie is a huge and very intricate project that requires a lot of attention, resources, and talent. Very often movies and TV series are created in a way to appeal to their audience, in some way appear relatable to what is happening in our everyday life. But sometimes all that relatability goes out the window the second we see an actor or an actress pretending to be drinking from an empty cup or driving a car and not properly looking at the road because they're having a heated argument with the passenger next to them. Not to mention “having a main character whose job/income level does not match their home or lifestyle at all,” as noticed by Reddit user @Stellathewizard.

Messing up the sound mix so that we have to constantly adjust the volume for music and dialogue.
EMPTY CUPS. I hate seeing people holding cups and pretending to take drinks from obviously empty cups. Their hands never move right, or if it’s an open cup, you can literally see that it’s empty.
Having a main character whose job/income level does not match their home or lifestyle at all
Making movies where the 1 good guy defeats 20 bad guys because the 20 bad guys attack the 1 good guy one by one.
Making women “perfect” all the time. I don’t want to see a post apocalyptic world or a safari adventure where the women have their makeup done, hair styled and armpits shaved. It’s incredibly unrealistic but then again.. so is everything else
Characters getting punched multiple times in the face in 1 scene and having no signs of the trauma in the next scene.
Remakes of good movies, I don’t understand why they remake good movies, when there are tons of flops that have potential, that they could remake
Stop recreating bad versions of good classic movies.
Stop using spectacular CGI to distract from a subpar plot. I'm looking at you Disney.
Stop having people take like 1 bite of what they ordered then leave. It's a small thing, but I've never seen it happen in real life.
Casting 20 somethings to play teenagers and then constantly putting them in sexual situations.
I wish Hollywood would stop treating the medium of animation as something inherently inferior to live action. I also wish 2D animation was used more for movies.
