The realization is finally starting to set in that they've permanently driven away a large chunk of their audience. And now they're getting what they deserve!

"Without respect, we reject." They are an entertainment industry that refuses to entertain for the most. So yea, of course people move on. Me, to computer games. I don't see a need for streaming services, for intersectional propaganda laden snorefests at two digit fees and then two digit costs for snacks at theatres... Hard pass. I'll settle in for a big pizza and some soda or beer at half the cost and just play together with a couple of friends or even strangers. And be actually entertained. I don't care if Hollywood lives or dies at this point, they are not relevant to me.

[@robsilvester6213]

KZbin et al reviewers are far more entertaining than the shows they review.

[@RighteousJ]

Never mind that at this point, with just the PC market alone there's 20+ years of high-quality releases you can get for pennies on the dollar as opposed to their cost at launch. With just a bit of software tweaking (in some cases) you can enjoy them at the ultra-high settings they were intended to be experienced with since the average "workstation" PC these days is well beyond the recommended system requirements for these titles at launch. Bring emulation software and ROMs into the mix, and there is no reason to not be financially punishing these studios while genuinely enjoying the hobby. There's a reason the "retro" market has been exploding recently - even newcomers to the hobby are aware that most new AAA releases aren't worth spending money on, and they're looking to the past for their entertainment.

[@caveatlector2671]

It's funny how in that entire read, the article, in how "deeply analytical" it is, fails to mention the rainbow-colored and other sundry activist THE MESSAGE pushing and audience blaming elephants in the room causing their downfall. In its complete failure to touch on the wokefication of the product in order to focus on other issues, which wouldn't be as severe if the product was good and not insulting, it just proves the industry as a whole, and those who cover it, are still incapable of self-reflection and accepting that they are the reason for their decimation.

[@akun50]

Saddest thing is that this is happening in the gaming industry too. Too many studios decided to take on a -cult- -consulting firm- cult that decided that it wasn't enough to put this agenda first and foremost, but everyone in the studios had to be LIVING and LOVING the agenda. Sweet Baby Inc is the lead culprit, but not the only one behind those movements, and I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't at least somewhat behind many of the Hollywood movements as well.

[@SergioLeonardoCornejo]

Sure, not an anime, but it doesn't change the argument at all. Lmao. Not to mention for a long time now, dub translators have been adding their own personal agendas in the dubs, so I just said fuck them and stuck with the source material, translated by fans and myself.

[@midgetydeath]

@LaZd- In my experience, dub voice actors speak like they’re just acting. They sound _fake._ There are very few dubs that get it right, and fewer that are better than the original voices. Like Dragon Ball and Gundam Wing. Especially Wing. My God the Japanese VAs made my ears want to bleed.

The death of movie theaters is a tragedy. Watching a comedy we may all laugh together. A horror we scream. A hero we cheer. There is something special about enjoying entertainment as a community. Not to mention the experience of the movie itself is more grand on a huge screen and booming sound. A theater certainly improves movies with scale. Godzilla and Pacific Rim benefit from theaters.

[@pathfinderlight]

Part of the issue is Hollywood's reliance on people's disposable income for their ticket sales. With average housing and food costs ballooning, people are (of course) prioritizing those expenses first. If ticket sales were a lot less AND movies weren't terrible, preachy stories about how we should hate ourselves, an average person MIGHT occasionally throw burger money towards a comfort movie instead. Instead, we have an entertainment industry that's more interested in chasing Chinese audiences, rather than entertaining people here. Eventually, there WILL be another home grown industry with cheap, accessible movies.

Maybe insulting the people who pay your bills wasn’t a smart move

I would get rid of places like Cinema, Regal, AMC and replace them with Virtual arcade places or bring back arcades but made for modern day gaming with a bit of retro mixed in.

There's one theater in my city that has a full sized arcade, bar, and bowling alley.

@@MrHP25 cool but it be nice if Arcades became relevant again since vast majority of people play video games either PC or mobile or even VR. I know there is a one place one city over from me that has games for a party of people using VR i believe its called Sandbox VR but other then that I would love for arcades to more relevant in current year I mean hell Japan has loads of arcade places why can't we.

Movie industry is phases. Like 70s and 80s had some terrible starsky and hutch style movies. Those 70s movies were so bad they mad tom and jerry all orange and post modern and tacky. Then we got back to the future and aliens. And things were going well until they made that xmen movie where rogue was a little boy named anna. So it was about 10 bad years. 20 good years. Now 20 bad years. Maybe the next 40 years will be good until martian cinema takes off.

Hollywood? I'd prefer to watch youtubers talking about real fossils.

In my town, the movie theatre is still open and I would be happy to go there and spend my money. However, just about everything sucks now. The last time I went was to see The Matrix Resurrections. Probably the worst movie I have ever seen in a theatre and this is coming from someone that loved the old trilogy, the animatrix, and even played and like the video games. I couldn't believe how awful it is and was genuinely confused by how it ever ended up that way. I just couldn't understand how they could have fucked up the matrix so badly. It would have been better to just not make it. I was so confused that I took to the internet to try and find an explanation. Needless to say, it didn't take me long to get shed my confusion. I say all that to say this. If good movies were still being made, then I would be happy to go to the theatre. But they just aren't. And the reboots, remakes, and reimaginings just don't do it for me either. So it really isn't fair to say that everything is terrible, just most of it.
