Creative Juice, Freshly Squeezed...

Title changed, apologies for making your first sentence not make any sense.

Now I know what your thinking,'pointless thread! throw him to the jackals!' right, but there is a point.

Are we begining to run out of ideas?...Really no matter where I go, I only see remakes and original ideas that are being praised universally and yet fail at sales/ratings/views so badly all we have lefty is fanfare and dustied copies in a thrift store. My examples...well if you live on earth you need no specifics and if you're in a develpoing country then you're excused.

This is becoming a serious issue as you all, who apply, can tell. This goes for movies, games, books, tv , threads, and most any medium for conveying ideals. And no medium is safe from this meh-athon of disappointment.

Well lets be frank, the ideas before were good, at first, then we have the re-imaginings and re-makes that prove these should be untouched but always will be. And while I know there are people trying to break the mould, they only seem to make a scatch or scuff in it, do to poor $$$ intake; Some of these thrive but the very few and weak. But now poeple are so jaded that they are no longer try to take a chance, people are so sheltered they refuse to leave their homes made of bad dialogue and poor charicterization.

My hands are getting tired and now I think I came to a point where you fill in the blanks with your opinion and your ideas, but please type them and don't be a selfish pillock, oh and don't be a snarky pillock either.

one, change the name of this thread, its begging for mod attention
b, im nearly certain this flavour topic was done before as well
three, back on topic, i read somewhere that there are a grand total of seven stories that man has created. everything in the history of art, stories, poems, songs, comics, video games, all have one of these seven stories.
and d, not all reimaginings are that bad, what about Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? it was a remake of Homers Iiliad, one of the greatest stories ever told

 

[asleep at the comp]

most people are dumb and it will be always hard not to drown in shit produced for them.
get over it

harsh man although you do make a point. but anyway yea i got a good idea or what i thought was good idea but am now scared to post it for fear of failure like so many others get but maybe it's meant to be like that only good forums get good and others stink up the place

Frankly, saying that it's all been done before isn't much of claim because it really has. After over two-thousand years of human existence, it's safe to say whatever "creativity" is reached, even independently of outside persuasion, is a similar or clone idea of something, somewhere, that came before it.

Now, I agree that a lot of creative things are becoming stale or overdone, but that's not to say that remakes or retelling of older ideas is entirely a bad thing. I for one draw a lot of inspiration from things I've seen before, and retell them in a way people enjoy. Even if they recognize where I drew inspiration from.

So, creativity is certainly not lost. Just, more rare these days. (By these days, I mean for the past 1500 years or so...)
