Yay the IP owners made lots of money on another ugly live action remake. So fucking what?
How is what a movie makes matter to the audience? Besides “ohhh it sold lots so it must mean it’s good and not the most generic, inoffensive, mass marketed, nostalgia bait”
Do fans really get off knowing how much they enriched some CEO?
“ohhh that thing I watched and like made some corporate owner a few more million dollars to by another fucking yacht, while lobbying politicians to remove humans from the creative process as fast as fucking possible with Ai. Yay!”
Stop paying attention to sales numbers as a sign of quality. That’s capitalist Stockholm syndrome.
it's not a sign of quality, it's a sign of what's to come. these companies will keep putting out things that work. sadly these live action Disney remakes sell very well even though everyone seems to hate them. that's what this tells us. if not for this info we'd all just be sitting around scratching our heads over why they keep doing them. this at least tells us why.
