Oh yeah.... that happened
The Detergent Series: Allergic
>>220411684Brutal
>>220411684>>220412939All the Degrassi fags have had the most pathetic careers, JUST
don't give a fuck about your gay Hunger Games shit.where are my second attempts at Eragon and The Darren Shan Saga?
>>220411684Young adults in a full scale brutal experiment is a movie category in itself, I'm nostalgic of this trend.
>>220411684I think I only ever saw one of these, but I still feel kinda bad for the cast and crew. Imagine being the only young adult fantasy books-turned-movie series to fail so hard you couldn't even do your final movie.
>>220411684I miss when actresses at least made a token effort at sexuality even if she had no ass.
Top 10 worst movies of all time
>>220411684The kicker is they didn't even bother finishing the fucking series lmao. They planned a two-part finale movies like all the YA adaptations back then, made the first part then never bothered to make the final movie.
I thought The Mortal Instruments was better in terms of YA slop.
>>220413566>Budget: $305 million (3 films)>Box office: $765 million (3 films)It didn't even flop, they were just lazy.
>>220412939would
>>220414166Of course you would you freak
>>220411684i watched them all and actually enjoyed them. twice. so fuck you guys.
>>220414316Alcoholism is a bitch
>>220411684If I wanted to watch some 2010's dystopian YA slop having had little experience with the genre before, what movies would you guys recommend?
>>220414408While not a book, Jupiter Ascending was alright.
>>220414408The Maze Runner series
>>220414408>Nuclear winter? Psh whatever.
>>220414419>Jupiter Ascending was alrightYou are weird
>>220411684This was easily the weirdest, most nonsensical series from the YA adaptation era.
>>220414545I still say its Maze Runner that holds that title. With Divergent it was at least some dystopian societal control they were trying to achieve. Maze Runner they were trying to create a cure for zombies by putting children in massive death traps to scare them to figure out why they were immune. Talk about some overly elaborate bullshit
>>220413113The latter is never happening and it's better that way
>>220414700This. Cirque Du Freak is great as just a book series. Vampire's Assistant (movie) was so bad that it nearly ruined the entire 12-book saga for me.
>>220414150More like greedy. Disney will pump out at least 3 more film with number like this right now.
>>220414408Hunger Games, because the movies are a complete package at least.
>>220414609To an adult it's retarded, but if you're a kid in the American public school system it makes sense to learn the adults are torturing you/releasing monsters to kill you (school shooters) for some bizarre goal.
>>220411684I enjoyed the first one
>>220411684Man, I hate YA novels with dystopia theme so much. What's the appeal?
>>220412939She's a mom now?
>>220416005It appeals to kids in public school.
>>220416285Why not private schools?
>>220416015It's from show she's doing with Lindsay Lohan
>>220416005Adolescence in the post-war era of the 20th century onward feels totalitarian, and in a practical sense it is. Like >>220416285 said YA novels echo the experience of being conditioned for corporate make-work while simultaneously turning communication and human rites of passage into profit driven team sports, with emphasis put on imbuing establishment sensibilities rather than discovering for themselves the world around them. 60 years of refinement has created a well oiled machine to atomize young people and disillusion them with the broken communities they're meant to occupy.Teenagers are considered naive for acknowledging this but acceptably so, due to their age; therefore they've become a very profitable manufactured demographic to market to in every subsequent generation. YA books and communities provide a necessary escapist outlet for potentially dangerous feelings of unrest toward the system.
>>220416005Easy conflict
>>220413093This isn't Nina Dobrev. This is Secret Life of the American Teenager-girl.
>>220414150Third movie scared the studio.The YA fad was over.
>>220417602That's a brutal drop, wtf happened in 2016? A war or something?
>>220417324This. Never forget the modus operandi of the system towards any opposition is typically: co-opt, mislead, dilute, and well-poison. At least, unless that unrest becomes violent revolt.
>>220417957Didn't you hear? We Made the Americas Grande Again.
>>220417602People actually watched this trash?
>>220417602Didn't they decide to make a show instead of a fourth movie and Woodley told them she had already done her time doing shitty YA shows and was done with them?
>>220417324>America went from safe prosperous communities where everyone knew everyone to a bankrupt crime-filled atomized shithole full of drugs and thrillkill violence>all it took was one simple ingredientIntegration. Zoomies would weep if they could travel back to the 1950s and see how easy life was.
>>220414150That’s a loss anon. Studios don’t get more than half the gross and even less of the international gross.
>>220418201Nah more than double is still a profit, even if it's a small one. The problem is that we can't count all 3 films together, and the third one is definitely a flop. >>220417602
>>220418319You’re not only wrong, you’re stupid. If studios get less than half of the domestic gross and even less of the international gross, it means they get around 37%-42% of the total gross, depending on the domestic:international ratio. As international is trading yield for volume.
>>220418427You're not only stupid, you're a cretin.
> Maze Runner > Hunger Games >>>>>> Divergent> Kaya Scodelario >>>>>> Milf Naomi Watts > Jennifer Lawrence >>>>>>>>>>>>> Fat Divergent bitch
>>220417957The YA adaptation fad peaked in 2012/2013 with the end of Twilight/decline of Hunger Games. The second Detergent movie declining domestically was already a bad sign. That usually means people are souring on it. There's a trend where series start shrinking in the US/Canada, but it's not enough to kill the series, so the studio pumps out more. Then a movie or two later the series completely collapses both domestically and internationally. Transformers and Fast & Furious are two examples of that.
>>220418498I accept your concession. Hope you learn how to math one day.
