We have had 20 years of comic book movies and endless sequels from the major studios.

Let's not pretend that James "Avatar" Cameron is deep.

It’s not, but it’s also now 3 films in 16 years. That’s not a lot.

I mean compare: Dune, The Last of Us, Industry, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Succession, Silicon Valley, Westworld, Eastbound & Down, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Oz, etc.. to any NFLX original programming.
I don't disagree broadly (other than to fault you for not including The Wire!), but the counterpoint is: House of Cards, Queen's Gambit, Stranger Things, Dark, Ozark, Orange is the New Black, Mindhunter, Squid Game, Adolescence, Narcos, The Crown, Godless, Dept Q, etc.
