> What argument can one make when the burden of proof is to show cultural regression?

First, you will need to give examples of what kind of movies you find "creative" that were done in the past and there is no current equivalent for that level of creativity.

"Jojo Rabbit", "Parasite", "Blade Runner 2049", "Coco", "Lady Bird", "Arrival", "The Nice Guys", ... that is the past 5 years with one almost missing because the pandemic. Is any of that any good for you?

What do you think that it was so creative in the past and has no comparation today?

Thanks for reminding me of The Nice Guys. That was well-done... all of these were.

Still haven't seen Blade Runner 2049 ... which is the only sequel on that list, so I perhaps that's why!

It is a sequel, but it's really good, with the caveat that it could have stood to have a ruthless studio executive insist the director cut at least thirty minutes. :)
