I could be upset about this or I could double down.
Most of Mike Flanagan’s work is just an unimaginative riff on other peoples work.

I’d say that’s true for Ti West
Flanagan is actually talented though

I mean, sure there’s some talent there, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not jump pumping out unimaginative riffs of other peoples work. His last 5 out of 6 shows/films have been adaptations, not great ones at that, and his next 3 projects are adaptations. Most of those adaptations just turn into a Stephen King flick. His one original work amongst those is a relatively weak look at religious fanaticism that provides little new to the conversation. Most of his monologues either don’t contribute anything further to the story or are just a regurgitation of what’s already happened. And let’s not forget that in every one of his series, except for the fake out in Midnight Club, a major character dies in episode five.
