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.

is it the opposite of marketing? seems like them saying "lmao the nazis are mad at us because we did a heckin diversity" has worked for them pretty well so far. it's not sustainable of course but for now it's working.

No, the nostalgia is working. And they are killing it fast.

Tell me, where you saw it working, where a shitton of nostalgia and good will reservoir is not a suitable explanation.

i mean a lot of gynocentric capeshit is a good example. no one had nostalgia for captain marvel, for example, and yet it made decent money AND farmed woke capital-type clout for marvel.

i would wager that the movie probably would have underperformed even more had the filmmakers not bothered to claim that "the nazis are mad at our movie." shitlibs flocked to support the film like the good goy npcs they are.

> Says the 22nd movie in the saga, and one that was expected to be required watch to finish the entire saga.

You're a nigger

the captain marvel film was piggybacking off of marvel's pool of good will but the character by and large had none of it's own, barely anyone knew who she was and even marvel coomers weren't excited for the film at all.

literally the entire marketing strategy was based off of the ghosbusters 2016 model:

1. make low effort movie with wahmen
2. run to twitter and tell your followers that nazis/incels are mad about it
3. tweets go viral
4. people who weren't even interested in the first place pay money to see the film to "own" the nazis

nostalgia and goodwill doesn't factor into this

> nostalgia and goodwill doesn't factor into this

Does your mother still have to feed you with that kind of an IQ?

my point is that these people don't do what marvel says in this example because they love marvel, they do it because they think it pisses off the people they hate. this is not a difficult distinction to make i don't know why you're struggling with it so much.
