What emotion defined this fandom this year?

Nostalgia. The reason Top Gun: Maverick was so successful was because it touched on the nostalgia note in the most perfect way. The older crowd was hooked with cameos form Val Kilmer and the new crowd watched for a shirtless Miles Teller.

How this fandom is changing entertainment

It revived the idea that sequels don't have to be terrible. If they are done right, it can be magic.
