    What is this about? This?

    Haven’t been on reddit and am notoriously often living under a rock when it comes to news outside my personal interests.

      It’s about the remake movie that just launched.

      Chuds are mad it’s woke, everyone else is ambivalent because it’s another fucking live action remake.

        more like everyone else is mad those millions of dollars could’ve been used as anything else other than to make a 2/10 remake of a classic nobody wants to watch.

        Wow, I guess they have now literally reached the earliest one they could do a live action remake of. Good to know that even while things have been heating up globally, the underlying current of absolute boredom in this dystopia is going strong.

          I think it’s honestly because of the older stuff starting to finally reach public domain age, and they want new versions that will retain copyright for authors life+100 years all over again. They’ll lose access to the copyrights to the originals, but they’ll still be able to copyright any new variations they make while they are still in ownership of the originals.

          Which, yeah, is peak boring dystopia.

        Im gonna laugh when they finally reach the treasure planet/Atlantis era of movies and conveniently forget they ever happened (or direct-to-dvd/bluray/stream them with no advertising).
