I don't have any hope for the visual medium of story telling moving forward if I can be honest.
Studios/Streaming services have learned that people are still gonna pay monthly fees to watch the garbage they put out. They have no incentive to change because if it's garbage, there's outrage and memes and it drives people to talk about it, going viral. If it's good then a bunch of people automatically hate it for taking over their feeds, outrage..memes. full circle.
Studios ain't gonna take on original properties unless they can grab actors that have attached fan bases to them. (Oh that chris Pratt has x amount of followers on IG, he's perfect to advertise our movie to a good demographic, he's hired)
Movies and animation are no longer propelled by its actual content, but by the content it can generate on social media.

Very true, I see this as one of the prime reasons for the shift from professional voice actors to celebrities in voice roles; Lion King was a great example of this and it mostly leads to these celebrities phoning it in for the money then genuinely being invested in the project
