As a follower of all things arrrrrrrr, the reason I didn't watch the Disney stuff was because I'm fucking fed up with their fucking garbage. I don't steal it or watch it in the cinema!
- mythrwy 3y agoThey are now producing a product that isn't even worth minimal effort to steal.
- ospzfmbbzr 3y ago> Content so bad it's not worth stealing. Even torrents take time away from something else I could download that's better -- like all the movies made before it all went to shit. Naturally the solution is to erase the past by memory-holing old content so people will not have anything for comparison to make the current content look bad.
- hotnfresh 3y agoLots of the genre TV shows these days—like the Netflix Marvel stuff, or most of the Star Wars or Disney Marvel tv shows—can only be saved by fan edits because of the absurdly slow plotting, used to stretch a bit over a movie of plot to fill three or more movies worth of time. The scripts and editing are beyond flabby, they’re morbidly obese. Even if you’re paying for the service, the best version of the product’s usually coming from pirates.
- kyriakos 3y agoWatched all marvel movies up to endgame at the cinema. After that watched a few at home and gave up. It's not piracy it's repetitive uninspiring plots, bad special effects, and characters that we don't care about. The Critical Drinker has a series of videos about what's wrong with movies these days, even if he's always exaggerating his points are spot on. https://youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker?si=IwnFx_y3YCA-zBzU https://youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker?si=IwnFx_y3YCA-zBzU
- baz00 3y agoJust watched a couple of those. Absolutely nailed it.
- zlg_codes 3y agoSame. I don't subscribe to any services and honestly, if it wasn't for my SO I wouldn't watch much of anything. They don't know how to appeal to me and I finish most movies wishing I had written some code instead. Even gaming is going that way with the bad business practices and over-reliance on filler content like crafting to extend a game's life. So it'll be funny when these media giants blame piracy, it gets studied, and found that even pirating for their stuff is less common than it used to be. Sometimes markets just shrink. Hollywood wasn't going to bust blocks forever.
- baz00 3y agoYeah gaming is terrible. I just sold my GPU because I don't need it because the games are all shit.
- zlg_codes 3y agoCan't say I'd sell a GPU over it unless it sucked, but I see where you're coming from. Those things sell for over a grand now! I remember when a high end GPU (one or two steps below the best) could be had for a cool $400-500...
