I feel this too, I’m so sick of unoriginal continuations of existing IP. I’ve been enjoying A24 movies and shows though, Beef and EEAAO absolutely blew me away. I also loved Pearl and Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein. I love their metamodern style.
Edit: not A24, but Barry was also fantastic. Plot points that you expect to be dragged out over 1-2 seasons are resolved quickly, because the show has a dense, concise story to tell and doesn't waste time.
+100 for Barry, that show was too good and underrated. I don't know if I'll find a show as great as that for a while, but thankful Fargo is still on.
As far as A24, I think Robert Eggers' 'The Lighthouse' and Ari Aster's 'Beau Is Afraid' are my favorites.
Another weird movie I enjoyed recently is Triangle of Sadness (2022). Oh and 'Enemy' (2013) was so artistic, I think. Also 'The Banshees of Inisherin' (2022), what a movie.
Boots Riley's debut film and TV show, Sorry to Bother You and I'm a Virgo, respectively, were amazing as well.
I haven't seen the 'X' films or Frankenstein's (...) but I will have to now.
