Destroying art to push an agenda.
Basically the same thing Disney’s doing to Marvel and Star Wars.

Endgame Encore just helped Endgame reclaim the all-time #1 spot (not adjusted for inflation): ~$2.925B, edging Avatar by about $2M.
Marvel's Doomsday hype machine paid off.
Earth's Mightiest Heroes wear the crown again. But are they past slop storytelling? Seems doubtful. teapawt.net/TheScreenRebel/status/…

Nintendo drops more OoT Remake footage, including a look at expanded Hyrule Castle Town, Gerudo Fortress areas.
The game hits Nov 5. Looks pretty damn good.
Remakes of perfect games seem to be the only sure bet nowadays. teapawt.net/TheScreenRebel/status/…

DIGGER DUG ITS OWN GRAVE. ⛏️
Warner's $125M Tom Cruise satire is tracking for ~$8M, his worst opening since 2007, plus a C+ CinemaScore.
Meanwhile a Resident Evil video game reboot is still cleaning up in week 3.
Audiences want fun, not Oscar-bait. teapawt.net/TheScreenRebel/status/…

Netflix turned Willy Wonka into a cash-prize reality show hosted by an AI recreation of Gene Wilder's Wonka voice.
Dahl wrote a story punishing greed, and they turned it into a $3M game show.

Not serious… this is like equating sh*t in a bowl with fresh made chocolate ice cream. 🤦♂️
FYI
Things look great now, but Hollywood has mastered the art of ruining good stories.
Watched The Penguin ep2 & it was good. More of a set up for the rest of the season but still enjoyable. BUT after the credits the BTS stuff played & the “creators”, none of which were Matt Reeves, started talking about elements of the show & I was immediately turned off. Same old Hollywood rhetoric so now I’m worried they’re gonna do some kind of bait & switch at the end which I will not be amused by😑

Elrond making out with his mother-in-law.
This series has about as much creativity as a cheap porno.

Say it louder for the people in the back.
I like anime. I love Tolkien's world.
This trash is a bait and switch. You aren't getting the story of Helm Hammerhand. You're getting the story of his canonically unnamed daughter who did absolutely nothing in the source material. And why? Because current day Hollywood and the activists that clap for this nonsense are deathly allergic to masculine characters.
I just want them to stop. If Hollywood burned to the ground and we never got another Tolkien "adaptation" I would be a happier man.

This is a point I’ve made over and over again about DEI.
Typically, DEI storytelling DOES NOT represent minorities authentically.
For instance, while MOST black and Hispanic communities are rooted in traditional values, they’re almost ALWAYS depicted as extremely progressive.
It goes deeper. Spider-Man 2 isn't just soulless in its character interactions; the developers also distorted Spanish with made-up non-binary terms that don’t exist and nobody uses.
It’s an insult to the language and a disrespect to its tradition. It’s quite insane.
