Am I just getting old, thinking about modern cinema budgets?

Just saw a coming popular TV show, with a budget of 480 million dollars... does this bother anyone else? Am i just at the onset of being curmudgeonly? I grew up with playing outside, nintento, and low budget TV and movies, and it was fantastic, mindblowing even. Does a good movie need more than a couple million at most?

I miss the scripts, dialogue, acting, and story focus of the 80s and 90s, even the 2000s. With this now, almost half a billion dollars for one season of a TV show... seems upsetting, when considering how that money could help the less fortunate and struggling people.

Am I just turning into an old person? Is this an equivalent to shouting at the neighbors to keep the noise down in the middle of the day?

Edit: thanks everyone, this was a pleasant way to realize that I dont understand film or TV budgets. And also that yes, I am in danger of becoming a grumpy old person, staring out the window at neighbors all day
