It's funny how people say this, yet when original movies come out, nobody goes to see them. Disney is a good example. People bitch that Disney only makes sequels and reboots and doesn't make original movies anymore. Yet the original movies they've released over the last 2 years have flopped and people don't go see them. Strange worlds, wish, etc all failed. And the moment they release a sequel it makes a billion in the box office.
It's no wonder they make more sequels than originals. They'd be stupid and bad at business if they didn't.
But those movies simply weren't good.
Wikipedia even states that Strange World partly bombed because of poor word-of-mouth (which I definitely believe). And Wish got video essays and articles en masse about how it didn't deliver.
People love to bitch and moan. Very few actually do anything.
So what, we’re supposed to watch and support poor quality media in the hopes that eventually a piece gold shows up in the turd pile?
No, if they make good content people pay for it, if they don’t make good content then they can’t whine.
