Description
If this strikes you as a jim-dandy state of affairs, all right then. Someone, indeed huge numbers of someones, must like this arrangement, otherwise it wouldn’t keep going. The frustration, for those of us whose tastes do not run to Marvel or DC, young adult or children’s fare, is that we’re constantly told their obvious hegemony isn’t happening. Or if it is happening, it doesn’t matter, because there’s always TV—look at Mare of Easttown, that was great! What are you complaining about? Listen, I’m more than willing to “let people like things.” I’m less willing to sit still while I’m told, despite a mountain of evidence, that the great big corporate things aren’t crowding out other things.
