    Yeah, everyone who said it was #MorbinTime will surely be #CravinKraven this holiday season. Buying tickets is another thing…

      Do you want people to boycott your show and review bomb it for no reason? Because that’s how you get people to boycott and review bomb your show for no reason.

      For Nike this works, bunch of free advertisement and people burning their brand new pair of shoes grandma will replace, but for movies it’s usually do or die.

    I had to read this like 3 times before I realised what it was saying.

    Partly that’s on me and my sleep-deprived state. But partly…“overlooking” is not synonymous with “overseeing”. In fact in this case they’re almost antonyms. (Executives “overlooking” the film branch implies the film branch is actually really good, but the executives don’t acknowledge that.)

    This is just executives everywhere though. People notice more when it’s entertainment media, or planes where the doors fall off mid flight.

    Me in 2000: it’d be awesome if more of my favorite comic books were made into movies!

    Me in 2024: Nooooo. Please, no more.

    Doesn’t “craven” mean “coward”

    There be some big brains at Sony

    Edit: Not a Sony character, but a character from the sixties

    It seems that the only purpose these executives have is to siphon money straight up the organization to themselves. Do they provide any use to these studios other than that?
