Exactly. There is no suspense, no tension, no mystery as to which one of them will die. Most modern TV series and movies have the same issue... you can see everything coming from a mile away. Even when a black character is a kidnapper, torturer, child-murdering, hand-chopping villain (Space Moses from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, for example) it will eventually be revealed that they were actually good all along, and will be fully redeemed by the end. And of course every straight white male is either stupid, evil, and in most cases: both. This sh-t is the death of mystery and storytelling in general.

But I agree with the people saying they’ll probably cancel the future sequels and adapt them into a series for a streaming service or something to try to make their money back quicker. This movie is getting bad reviews and the only consistent earners at the box office anymore are like Chris Nolan movies. Even Marvel has totally fallen off because of the massive drop in quality. Guardians didn’t do nearly as well as it deserved to because of the preceding tripe the MCU flooded the market with. Guardians was really good and I’m glad I broke my MCU/Disney boycott for it, because it will be the last Disney film I see for a LONG time. And it was a good farewell to the MCU that use to be.

The thing that made The Exorcist different is that it was the one actual terrifying possession movie. The rest are mostly garbage. But now they've made The Exorcist franchise a part of that garbage. The idea of the possession by itself isn't that scary if you're not a believer. It was the psychological horror, the directing, the acting, the practical effects, etc. That's what made it scary for even atheists. No other possession movie has been able to accomplish that.

[@dunkyking6310]

[@angelabryant9766]

I personally never understood the whole thing of 'don't explain, it'll make it less scary'. Not to say I don't understand the examples, cause I do, those examples are indeed not scary, but the problem lies more in the explanation either being poorly thought out, like in the case of Prometheus, or the explanation being shoehorned in, like logically nobody should know this information but characters just have it anyways. The only thing I'd really say in regards to not explaining stuff in horror, is that my dad always said that you should only explain what it makes sense to know; like if a scientist is working on something related to whatever the thing happens to be, then yes, explain because the character would logically know it, but if the characters are in a situation where they wouldn't know anything, then don't tell the audience anything either. We need to be on the same wavelength as the character, beyond certain indie examples I suppose.

​@@TimeBomb014Xexactly. Or just read ANY HP Lovecraft story lol. And I LOVED It. The book was huge and the second book I ever read (first was The Stand, now that was a fucking story!). It was soooo good. And pennywise is soooo much more violent in it. Lol he literally smashed a babies face into a toilet forming it's head into the shape of the toilet drain and the mom could hear him cracking up from the sink. I mean the one kid has his dead lil brother come after him and his face is pushed outward cause pennywise mind fucked his dad into bashing the back of his head in with a hammer. So good. And yes. The fact someone doesn't understand not telling the whole story upfront is kinda crazy.

[@TimeBomb014X]

@@TheCollapse410 yup, if you can explain the horror tjat means there is a set of rules it exist by and thus a way to get ahead of it. Another good example, Event Horrizon, where dis that ship go, and what happenes to make it a living breathing ship. Who knows, but it sure as shit is fuxked up

[@doctabaldhead]

It hurts me that this has so many upvotes. Horror is a genre that lives and dies on not treating it's audience like they are retarded.

[@1977TA]

@@TimeBomb014X I couldn't agree more. They ruined Michael Myers with each sequel telling us more than we needed to know about him. He stopped being the mysterious, creepy, terrifying, unstoppable force. The unknown elements are what make any horror/thriller antagonist effective. That's why Jaws was such a hit. The shark didn't need to chew up screen time. It terrorized the audience because they saw so little of it.

At some point, there needed to be a scary scene where the two possessed girls regurgitated pea soup at each other, and the winner gets to eat a homeless man’s soul. Their heads spin the entire time, house music plays, and the girls are at the club, so lots of neon lighting and smoke. Also, John Wick is in the club fighting demons, as he does because he is now cannon after the Devil ate his dog. John will not have much of a part, he is just there to introduce the audience to the cross over, but the twist is, the Matrix universe is part of the franchise now.

Both

I just knew there would be some woke trash. Every movie is like that now. I just knew when there was a Black and a White family, and the demon went ''choose one'' that the white family would be the selfish ones but the Black girl would live anyway. I guess the white male priest and ''white religion'' weren't as strong as the Black woman whatever she was and ''Black religion''. The patriarchy lien makes me feel like I'm possessed and want to do unspeakable things to the people who made this movie.

[@FilmGuy7000]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@robertfaulkner1824]

I thought both would live but that yeah somehow the white family would act more “entitled” to have their kid live. Even then it’s an interesting moral conundrum. Like that could have worked still. The patriarchy line in reference to Kerris and the other priest sounds so unnecessary though.

[@camp5040]

are you mad at the movie or the fact there’s black people in the movie?

[@robertfaulkner1824]

@@camp5040 that there’s black people in a movie I’m sure. No it’s actually the portrayal. It was they would obviously bring up white “entitlement” somehow and they black family would be portrayed as selfless. It’s like how for decades white people loved Denzel Washington and Wesley snipes in movies because (with some notable exceptions like Malcolm X and white men can’t jump respectively that were obviously going to go into that territory) there characters had little to do with the so called “black experience”. They just happened to be black and the movies were just good. Now we act like it’s some new upsetting phenomenon when it’s really dumb crap like race swapping all these familiar (up to and including a character name “Snow White”) and just low effort preachy hack BS. And now it’s also impossible for a movie like Amadeus to be both historically accurate AND nominated for awards. But freaking Black Panther which isn’t even one of the best marvel movies gets nominated for best picture just cause diversity. And to be clear precisely ZERO marvel movies should be nominated for best picture. It should actually feel patronizing to black people but I guess not. Any of that seem like fair criticism or is everybody just a big dumb racist?

[@Noperare]

​@@robertfaulkner1824people praising "Black Panther" for being "first black superhero movie". B*tch, that is not even MARVEL's "first black superhero movie". "Blade" is what created the "marvel superhero blockbuster" genre. I guess 2012 became year 0, every movie before that has no value.

Just cause you live in a predominantly white society where you probably have like two Asians you know both being from completely different parts of the continent.
