It's there. To paraphrase Anton Ego though, new things need people to stick up for them. So if you see a new story, go see it and tell your friends. Everything Everywhere All At Once is a great example. Amazing movie, and it's stuck with me.
I've heard so many good things about WH40k, but every time i search about it I get overwhelmed. Don't know where to start. Any tips?
Dude I am 100% certain you replied to the wrong guy, because the only 40k stories I've read are Caiphas Cain books (which are pretty funny and entertaining).
Not really into grimdark though; when positive change is impossible I tend to check out and lose interest in the story.
Yes, I did post it wrong, my bad. Liked your answer, though!
Watch Alfabusa's If the Emperor Had a TTS Device! That's how I got introduced to it!
Not only is it funny as hell and entertaining to boot, it's extremely informative as an introduction to the lore!
Edit: A great resource to dive deeper after getting introduced to lore points is the good ol' wiki rabbit hole. :)
Is there a community well suited for a topic like this? For now I'm gonna also list some not franchise/reboot etc. I won't exclude things based on books since I don't always know and they don't follow close always anyway.

Comedy : The unbearable weight of massive talent Spin me round Palm Springs
I wish it was easier to see a list of things you have watched already. These are the few I can remember being happy with. I think it's action movies really that suffer from this trend and variation of playing it safe and a lot more freedom to take financial risks.
I feel like EEAAO was somehow engineered to get people to say they like it for no particular reason, it almost feels like they made a movie that would be a social faux pas to say you didn't like it. But actually I found it super boring and it remains a mystery to me why top rated movies are what they are.
Yeah yeah, EEAAO mentioned again. Again. How original.
How many of you motherfuckers here watched RRR and why the fuck haven't you yet? It's the best movie of last year. Yes the intro makes it look like a generic action bollyflick with more money, but they actually did quite a fair bit beyond that.
I mean I tried to watch RRR. It was ... unintentionally funny. But by all means go on hating popular thing.
I'm not hating on the movie, learn to read dingleberry.
I'm hating on people going "we need to support small endeavors" and then going and suggesting the second largest success of the year behind only the most profitable movie of all time. Not that RRR is lagging much behind, but man, at least way less people watched it and at least it isn't spammed everywhere. Even less watched Inside and literally no one ever says it. Nope, it's always the same movie.
The equivalent this year would be someone saying "you guys need to watch Barbie". Like. We know. Nothing should compel anyone spreading that word some more. Crippling unoriginality trying to put itself on a pedestal deserves being called out.
