    Reminds me of when my partner wanted to go see the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie and the girl says who her dad is and everyone in the theater was like soypoint-1soypoint-2

    Like, I knew who he was (i worked with kids for a long time, and I find them explaining things they like fascinating even if I don’t like it myself) but my partner was like “Who the fuck is that? They didn’t explain any of that!”

    And that’s when I realized that we will never get a good licensed movie ever again, because it’s all going to be appealing to a demographic that’s only going to see their blorbos say the shit that they know

      I mean…that was basically every licensed movie back in the day already. The production values have certainly gone up, but they’ve never really changed from the “have random popular celebrity inexplicably in the lead role and have Mr. Catchphrase say the thing.”

      thats exactly how i felt watching this movie. i told someone in another response but it was sorta surreal; the kids clapped, fucking LOUD, when someone said the meme or did the thing. No laughter of some sort, which is the typical human response, it was clapping.

      I went with my kids and saw Freddys. That was my very first into to the franchise. I got that feeling thru that movie also but i attributed it to having to use the restroom unavoidably, i figured i missed something important while using the restroom.

      The previews for minecrap were reboots, or sequels to something already. Just more crap rhat will do well commercially, but is as bland as salt free mashed potatoes.
