Serious question: Why can't they make anything good?
They're not trying toEverything they make is a money laundering scheme for the illicit parts of bezos's revenue
>>217356462patriot is good.
>>217356462Spent it all on Lord of the rings
>>217357333That would explain the wildly excessive budgets but why not make at least a handful of good things amongst all the crap? It's not like they're trying to generate box office. With Amazon's finances they could genuinely fund massive amount of small to medium budget projects with almost complete creative control given to the production teams with little corporate intervention and it wouldn't impact their bottom line even in the slightest.
>>217356462How is that serious question? There's some good stuff. Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it bad
>>217357347I came here to post this, excellent taste anon
>>217356462the only good stuff they've made is stuff basically made by another company and then acquired by them, like The Expanse or House of David or Reachernote that once they get more creative control a season or two into acquisition then they go to shitlike season 2 of Reacher and House of David
>>217357354Curious that they haven't decided to cancel that shit. I don't think anyone on earth can even pretend to defend it anymore. Thing is a forest fire of wasted money, unless they've at least tightened the wallet on that stupid production.
>>217357451>There's some good stuff.
>>217356462Bosch was good.
>>217356462>throw tons and tons of money at godawful scripts with DEI mandatesIt is a mystery.
>>217357400> With Amazon's finances they could genuinely fund massive amount of small to medium budget projectsDo you honestly believe a mega corporation like Amazon gives two shits about the little guy? They don't want you to get ahead. They don't want you to succeed. Even if they did open the door to you some jew will fondle your anus as the admission price.
Outer Range was decent
>>217357917It doesn't even have to be me getting the opportunity. I'd just like to be able to occasionally watch contemporary movies and tv shows that aren't complete garbage. Is that really too much to ask?
>>217356462because they know they don't have to
>>217357400the purpose of media divisions of massive corporations like amazon is to "lose" money so it won't be actually lost to taxes. the budget for [whatever] is mostly spent on payments to shell companies owned by said corporation that do nothing, money that will be laundered to end up back in the control of corporation. since no streaming platform ever releases verifiable viewership data, they can just pretend the money wasn't lost.
