I mean there’s Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I’m sure there are plenty more (and I haven’t even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a couple months?

    Because they know it will sell.

    They don’t need to make a good Star Wars movie because they don’t need to onboard new fans. They make them only to squeeze out existing fans who will pay regardless of quality.

    The new Matrix movie was actually a masterpiece. The Wachowski’s didn’t want to revive the franchise since they considered it complete - but the studio insisted that if they didn’t make it, the studio would get it done itself. So they accepted the offer, and made a movie so bad that it killed any attempts at reviving the franchise for good. The Matrix is now dead, and it will stay that way (hopefully).

    I guess Star Wars is too strong to kill even with multiple shit movies.

    Besides that, for how long can you squeeze the same universe? I’d rather have something new.

      Treating old stuff like fossil fuels, you mean? Without creating new franchises with new fans and exhausting the old ones?

      Well, then we’ll see Disney die in a decade or so.
