I don't really watch big movies or buy AAA games so maybe I'm in a bubble, but in some ways we're in a creative revolution. Just look at all the indie stuff on steam, some of it is cookie cutter but a lot of it is really unique.

From what I can see the endless reboots, sequels and copies isn't so much coming from grunt creatives churning it out as executives trying to play it safe and make something blandly popular.
