Why does it seem to be impossible for other cultures to compete with the Americans in the realm of movies, tv shows, music, etc.? Is it just a matter of money? Couldn’t the EU fund their own version of Hollywood?

Lots of countries compete well - India, Nigeria, the UK, France, Germany, Italy ...

But you're not going to find them in the US [much] if they're not in English

Here's some data from several years ago (couldn't find anything more recent in a quick scan) - https://screenville.blogspot.com/2009/06/production-world-ci...

It's actually not that hard to completely ban Hollywood from your watching for a while. Especially now with netflix and co. Honestly, from a German speaking pov, I don't see this being true anymore today.
Nah, the EU is too busy forcing upon its member states a new language and other political posturing.
