When the actress who plays BatWahman preemptively an needlessly pops off that there's already enough shows for OLD WHITE MEN , how the eff is that supposed to be " empowering " to women ? It's laughable go-se, is what it is. * Literally 20 years ago, when something called BUFFY the Vampire Slayer was on something called The WB, I opted to not watch it. Why ? Because, at the time, I assumed it literally wasn't made for me. I determined that, on my own, w/ out SMG or Joss Whedon angrily snarking off about how ' old white men ' don't need to watch this show. Nor did I watch Angel, which was literally all about OLD WHITE MEN . It wasn't until Firefly came around that I really got into stuff Joss Whedon was doing and figured - ' OK, this I'll watch. Because space and guns and stuff. And I was an over 30 male, who was of European ethnicity. AKA " White " . Then a funny thing happened. I liked Firefly, but I wanted more of this style of show, the writing, the drama, the comedy... so I watched. Angel. And I liked that too ! So then , before I knew it, I was drawn into watching Buffy. Even though it wasn't made for me. For fuck's sake, how DARE I like a show that wasn't made for me???

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: And you're wrong about the CW anyhow. Although I think most of what they put out is trash and you'd never catch me dead watching a DC comic book show on the network, The 100 is on par with Battlestar Galactica, and The Vampire Diaries ended up turning into a very good show if you could get past the first half season of teen-angsty Twilight cringe bullshit before they went a more mature way with it. The Originals, it could be argued, is even better than the show it was spun off from.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with you on - well - anything, but checking out the commercials to see who the target audience is, is something I do all the time ... though sometimes a show will stumble into a completely different and unintended audience. Also, the older people get, the less likely they are to spend their money on stupid crap, even if they have more of it to spend. So fewer shows are aimed at the cheapskate demographic.

This is Hollywood projecting their politics and LOSING money, and they're doing it anyways. It's massive miscalculation going on in Hollywood, big business where these pin head suits think they can just roll out something and have it immediately be viewed as ' new and edgy ', when instead it's just lazy and pathetic.

Just as I've been predicting for quite a while, God Money is stepping in to fix everything. There's a very long and growing list of SJW-ism being removed from things because they're losing money. Any sports fans out there may have noticed that ESPN only talks about sports now and ditched the political commentary, for instance.

Their social beliefs haven't necessarily changed, just the realization that it looses them money to use it in programming, check.

Destroyed are the franchises of Star Wars, Dr. Who, The MCU ( now mSHEu ), DCEU, Terminator ( which c'mon, was already dead ) and Star Trek. Looking back, it's a miracle that Firefly ever got made at all. Never could have that 'verse appear in any recognizable form from here on out. Not for a very long time, I hate to say. Honestly... Space whores? The LACK of Chinese characters in a show where everyone speaks Chinese ? OMG, the SJW's would go insane! Surprised it's not been banned already.

Quote:Originally posted by captaincrunch: So..... Money. These movies and series take time to conceive and produce and make, so there can be a long time cycle to any trend. Sometimes it takes a while for a new trend to get through the system and see if it survives. Yes, they gambled. They can afford to do that. It only continues if it makes cash money though, as you seem to indicate with removing merchant and cancelling programs.

Quote:Recent box office tracking for The Marvels pointed to a disappointing opening weekend for the Nia DaCosta-helmed Captain Marvel sequel, but the latest updates indicate that the cosmic MCU adventure could perform significantly worse than expected. Some analysts believe that $55M - $75M domestic debut will actually be closer to $45M, and The Marvels' tickets pre-sales have reportedly been the weakest for any Marvel Cinematic Universe movie in the post-Covid era, which suggests an overall lack of interest from potential cinema-goers.
Quote:Captain Marvel 2 is set to perform significantly worse than its 2019 predecessor, as indicated by a recent report of poor pre-sale tickets. The Marvels' pre-sale tickets have been the weakest for any MCU film in the post-Covid era, suggesting a potential lack of interest from general audiences in this new installment. This would equate to The Marvels having lower presales than any MCU film since, at the latest, 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home. This may come as a surprise as 2021's Eternals was a box office disappointment by Marvel standards, drawing in only $71.3 million opening weekend. Captain Marvel 2 appears to be breaking a unique MCU streak of generating massive, fan-crazed excitement from opening weekend, with the possibility of a box office plummet if it's received poorly. For example, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania opened large with $106.1 million domestically, but following lukewarm reviews and a lackluster fan reaction it only totaled $214.5 million. A few weeks before its release it appears The Marvels would be lucky to hit $200 million total at the domestic box office.
