You are, in fact, wrong.

It's unambiguous that it's not a person's actual name.

Streaming doesn't pay out per view, they just pay a lump sum up front to licence. If you're not already a hit, that lump sum will be low, and if millions of people stream the film it makes the studio exactly zero dollars.

Top Gun 2 was full of CGI...

"Narrowly injuring"?

Voting third party is just not voting with extra steps.

They would've lost all their licenced content and been left with nothing. That's why they pivoted.

It's not 1997.

By this logic there has never been a scene of any kind in any movie that needed to be there.

That Ruth is dead is explicitly stated in the movie.

I don't understand the purpose of this.

What on earth is Plume?

What exactly is Threads?

How does any of this work?

I thought I had a handle on what Mastodon was, but then there was this threads thing, and Lemmy is apparently also part of the Fediverse but not Mastodon, I assume, and Threads is its own thing, and calckey and kbin exist, maybe, and I'd never heard of Plume until this post...I don't understand any of this. Reddit and Twitter are how I would generally follow this sort of happening but Mastodon and Lemmy are ghost towns I don't really understand how to use. I'm so utterly lost I don't even know where to begin with finding answers. I don't even have known unknowns, just unknown in unknowns.
