The consumption is the point. They just want candy not a meal. They want fucking marvelslop not Cinema.

Inb4 let people enjoy things, the mindset on display is a perfect member of capitalist society. A mindless consumption machine.

    I don’t care that he has a lack of artistic interest in film. I’m glad the movies make him happy

      The studios will probably give it a rest, and then bring them back with a plan to run them for the exact amount of time for a maximum profit - like all those Netflix shows getting dropped after two seasons.

        I don’t think it’s so easy. Marvel started the MCU in an exact right way the first time and every other studio that tried failed. I don’t think they could do it again
