So I thought The Creator was brilliant. I watched it in the cinema, thoroughly enjoyed it and was gobsmacked when I learned it’s budget was only $79 million. It looks better than some films I’ve seen that cost three times that.
But apparently, while it may make that back, it’s unlikely to even earn $100 million globally.
So the answer to the question of why Hollywood churns out the same shite over and over is that, currently, tragically, that is what the masses want to spend their money on.
And that makes me sad.
I still have yet to figure out why nobody does remakes like HeartGold and SoulSilver anymore.
Can you elaborate for me.
These are considered to be the best Pokémon remakes of all time, which were released in 2009 (approximately 10 years after the original Gold and Silver releases for the Game Boy)
When I look at modern remakes of films, video games, sometimes even TV shows, it just seems that all the magic is somehow sucked out of it. I never understood why.
Cos Nintendo really cares about its IPs. It probably thinks ahead. Modern executives don’t. It’s all about the now. That’s why we have broken big budget games that make a lot of money with preorders and underdeliver.
I’ve seen people talk shit about modern Nintendo games as well. Some people even referred to Scarlet and Violet as a “buggy mess”. I’m probably guessing they’re playing Red and Green (the first Japanese release of the series) instead.
Well, you can’t appeal to everybody but recent Nintendo games are great according to the average opinion. Mine included :)
Good for you
I never played them so I can’t have an opinion on them
