I’m so fine with them killing off as many franchises as possible. Might force them to make an original movie again.
They will just reboot it pretending it's original
Case in point: another Battlestar Galactica reboot is apparently in the works.
I'm not sure I mind that. The last one was pretty good. Not sure about the spinoff as I stopped watching it after two eps maybe.
The Caprica spinoff, you mean? It was really slow for most of the season, suddenly picked up at the end and got really good, and then it was canceled.
That was my recollection too. Super slow all the way up to the finale when everything blew up.
Yeah, that one. Too bad about it.
This 100%. It's still an IP that they own and when it's brought out of the vault it's new to a bunch of people and nostalgic to others
Hahaha, good one.
Or just remake even more of the same thing with less diversity overall, like Spider-man & Batman.
Nothing is original, ever. Because everything is a remix
It's funny how people say this, yet when original movies come out, nobody goes to see them. Disney is a good example. People bitch that Disney only makes sequels and reboots and doesn't make original movies anymore. Yet the original movies they've released over the last 2 years have flopped and people don't go see them. Strange worlds, wish, etc all failed. And the moment they release a sequel it makes a billion in the box office.
It's no wonder they make more sequels than originals. They'd be stupid and bad at business if they didn't.
But those movies simply weren't good.
Wikipedia even states that Strange World partly bombed because of poor word-of-mouth (which I definitely believe). And Wish got video essays and articles en masse about how it didn't deliver.
People love to bitch and moan. Very few actually do anything.
wtf is "doing anything" in this context? is it becoming a massive globe spanning multi billion dollar company and making movies cuz i think most people would be down for that if they could. regardless heres something YOU could do: stop licking the boots of a corporation.
Obviously we movie goers aren't making the kinds of movies we want to see. We need to be the change and be the movie makers which we have no experience, skill or possibility of being. It's so simple that it's fucking crazy.
So what, we’re supposed to watch and support poor quality media in the hopes that eventually a piece gold shows up in the turd pile?
No, if they make good content people pay for it, if they don’t make good content then they can’t whine.
