    *Looks at Millenials and Gen-Z queuing round the block for the latest mediocre Marvel horseshit*

    You can say you want one thing, but you’ll cheerfully pay for whatever the adverts in your tiktoks tell you to buy.

      I’ll have you know I don’t queue up for Marvel horseshit. I put it in my Radarr list like a civilized human being.

      From what I understand this keeps happening because “Hollywood money” is afraid of untested “formats.” Everyone wants easy money, “no one” (read: investors) wants to create art, they want an “easy” jackpot.

      This kills the medium. I haven’t watched a new movie in I can’t even say how many years, possibly a decade.

        I watch a lot, and can say there’s plenty of stuff out there that’s still good, whether it’s arty (Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, Poor Things) or fun (M3GAN, Barbie).

        There’s a fuckload of money being squandered on absolute bollocks though. Aquaman 2 cost over $200 million. Expend4bles cost $100 million. Both should have been scrapped before filming.
