Abolishing IP rights would probably mean every dude with a passion project idea for a superhero film would set about making that a reality. Whether they could get other people to work with them on it (presumably the only remaining barrier to entry) is another story I guess, but that shitty Spiderman fan film became a reality and that was under capitalism.

The differences from the current scene would be

  1. More passion less product
  2. It wouldnt be the overwhelming majority of films coming out
  3. More alternative options if you dont like the Official Product
  4. Probably some original ideas rather than just adaptions

Like guys not only would there still be an MCU, thered be like 10 competing ones. Live action reboots, animimated ones, and probably more than one claiming to be the sucessor to the Disney one.

To me this would be fucking awesome but i just want to prepare the rest of you lol

    I don't give a shit if some nerds whose media consumption habits have remained the same since 8th grade want to make a thousand spiderman films I just neither want to see them nor have to know about their existence.

      nor have to know about their existence.

      Why this part? What burden does that materially place on you to simply know it exists?

      "Media i dont like exists, i dont have to view it but that still angers me" is up there for one of the least understandable but oddly common attitudes out there.

      I get it if its existing instead of the stuff you do like, but that wouldnt be the case here.
