      I think they’re just kind of a symbol for the shallowness of the movie industry, self indulgent pieces that are all budget and no art. I get it.

        I’d call it the Michael Bay of Scifi Films but they literally put that guy in charge of the Transformers franchise, so there is already a literal Michael Bay of Scifi Films. Made a more apt example would be cake: if all food were cake we’d all be dying but that doesn’t dismiss the value of cake.

          If 90% of the world’s food production was going towards making cake, would you be mad at the food industry and the people who only eat cake?

            Maybe but I personally feel like the movie industry is very varied and rich with a lot of creativity, even if the AAA Hollywood sector is specifically 90% cake these days.

        Gotta give that title to Marvel movies. Avatar actually seems like a passion project that pushes film technology to its limits. This internet hate-boner is so played out.
