This is why you don't hate watch. The studios have it built in that right-wingers getting mad at the latest trash coming out of Hollywood is their marketing strategy.

@LouisConde
Except, it's the oposite of marketing.

These shows are getting cheaper every episode.
Star wars can no longer afford to make movies, and they even gad to resurrect clone wars for the 3rd time, since the audience is dropping that fast.

My sis is a huge LOTR fan, and she knew rings of power will be shit.

They tried this strategy, because Twitter bots will eat shit, but they had one attempt to switch their current audience for the new one, and after ~7 years, the old audience is dead, and the new one still ain't coming.

It is a slow process though, and old fans had decades of good faith saved up, so it looed for a moment, like it was working.

3 trilogy star wars movies were both the least objective datapoints possible, and also all the proof Hollywood idiots needed.

@LouisConde
This is the forst move to go all in on this marketing strategy btw.

The full on "Don't watch it bigots" strategy didn't work the first time, and more people do associate it with the worst products out there every day.

@LukeAlmighty @LouisConde The losses were even worse than that, because marketing costs aren't included in the movie budget.
@BobsonDugnuttHB @LukeAlmighty @LouisConde I think there's some kind of ratio to it, like marketing equals half of the budget or something.
