When an original movie or property comes out, nobody goes to watch it. The people complaining about the lack of originality certainly don’t go watch.
The last half dozen original movies that Disney has released have bombed, regardless of good ratings. People are paying to see remakes and reboots, which is why they keep making them.
Nobody who complains actually goes to support the original films
Indeed, much of enshittification can be blamed on the corporations, but this one is definitely the consumer’s fault.
Just last year, I went to a new, original movie called Juror #2. It looked great in the trailer, and I was not disappointed! At least, not by the movie. I was disappointed by the fact that there were only like 20/30 people in the room to watch it. And this was only a week after it came out! Meanwhile, Gladiator II had a fully booked and bigger room.
Same, I remember going to the theatre to watch a Ghibli movie, can’t remember which, maybe the wind rises. And the auditorium was empty except for another couple. Meanwhile there was a huge crowd coming out of Trolls 2 or whatever the fuck
‘From the World of John Wick: Ballerina’ was probably my favourite movie this year and there were only like 10 other people in the theater on release night, which is suprising for such a good action flick from a popular franchise.
Doubtful, im a dad and my kid is always well aware of movies coming out. He watches them all and sees the ads. Recently he’s been obsessed with elio. You know, the original movie getting shit on because they dared make the main character special needs, therefore “woke”.

The last half dozen original movies that Disney has released got a fraction of the promotion that they gave the sequels.

Hey, don’t forget those of us who like to complain for complaining’s sake. My poor aching scarf.
