I was gonna say, nobody's gone out and paid to see
any movie that wasn't dinosaurs or giant robots or super-heroes for almost a decade, why focus only on the "agenda-driven" ones that underperform? It's just a fact that people no longer want to pay money for
any movie that isn't a CGI-fest, period. If a movie isn't a CGI-fest, it will flop financially, unless it's made on a shoestring budget. End of. Only horror movies make money outside of the CGI-fest stuff because horror movies are made for no money and people expect them to be terrible so they go see them in spite of bad reviews, a luxury other types of movies do not have.
I personally don't care about any of these movies but Jesus Christ, people sure love to spend all their time "fighting agendas" and raging against said agendas and celebrating when said agendas fail. Who cares this much? It ain't healthy, man, go read a book. Who the f*ck tracks the Ins and Outs of a movie they themselves will never see, just to publicly dance a jig when it fails? You shouldn't even have ANY emotional investment whatsoever, at that point. Especially not to do it with MULTIPLE movies at a time. Even the people who get paid to do that, like the YouTube idiots, ought to just reevaluate their life choices entirely because it's just pointless.
The only reason I even know these movies exist, is because I see
so many people cheering that they failed, because they "deserve" to fail for having the audacity to feature gay and black people.
Like, we
get it, some of you don't like gay people and your acceptance of minorities is also case-by-case. Let them have their thing, and let it all play out Over There, it affects You not one bit. Whether it succeeds OR fails should have no impact on you at all, because You Are Not The Audience. The only reason to even care, especially out loud, is some certified "I mean, I'm not a bigot, BUT..." kinda sh*t.
You notice I don't repeatedly and outspokenly celebrate or cheerlead for MCU movies to fail financially. Reason is simple: I don't like them, and I'll never watch them. Therefore, their success OR failure ain't got sh*t to do with me at all. Likewise, if you're a straight white person, why so happy when movies aimed at non-straight, non-white people underperform? What's it got to do with you?
"It's totally not racism or homophobia, I'm just a really big fan of The Business!"
Right. Whatever helps people sleep I guess.
