>One of the biggest flops in movie history>Still gets a sequel announcedFucking how? Sure, I thought the movie was okay, and I wouldn't mind a sequel. But still, how is it possible?
>>221399351When are you retards going to realize that losing money on these big blockbusters isn't a bad thing for the studios? They just write it off as a loss.
>>221399351Maybe Jeff Bezos is a fan of the franchise and just wants to see more movies about it?
The sequel willl be cancelled
>>221399351I couldn't stand the start of the movie with all the children. Does it get better?
Great news. It was fun.
>>221399403I personally found the movie incredibly lame. But a lot of people seem to like it. Maybe it's because I knew nothing about the franchise and they're fans. But I've also seen criticism of it saying it was made for people like me so I don't know. It felt like the people who made it couldn't decide if it's a kids movie or not.

>>221399351its definitely not one of biggest flops in history. fucking supergirl just came out and is literally lower opening than it.
>>221399401depends on well it does on prime. Amazon made it so any box office it makes is just free money. all that matters to them is to have content to get people to subscribe to prime.
>>221399510damn
>>221399351Either:A. They just claim this so that people who aren't observent, get fooled into thinking it's a success, in the same way that they announced a sequel to Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern or a sequel to Trank's Fant4stic. They'll say there's a sequel in development, have shills aggressively insist there's a sequel coming, and then quietly push it aside.OrB. Because Amazon is bankrolling this and have an online store, they may not care as much as a movie studio because they're also selling Masters of the Universe toys. MOTU toys managed to stay on the Top 100 Action Figures Best Seller list on Amazon as seen in https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Toys-Games-Action-Figures/zgbs/toys-and-games/2514571011/ but keep in mind this changes daily, maybe hourly.
>>221399351Produced by Amazon. A $200 million budget is nothing to them
>>221399351they should have the snake men be villains in the sequel
>>221399351Audiences are stupidthe movie is good
>>221399662Isn't the next one going to be a She-Ra film?That was what was teased at the end of the film
>>221399370its an amazon film...so now it takes a few years to make a profit instead of a few months.but they still make moneyIts all about content.This isn't the 1930s where you could only watch a movie on the big screen or one of the 3 tv channels that existed at the time
>>221399401Maybe not. They might try and trim the budget a bit in case it's another big flop.
>>221399351Its an Amazon film so any money they make at the theaters is just icing on the cake. Plus everyone wants to see Mckenna Grace fill out a She-Ra costume.
>>221399680nooooo Hordak is a punk
>>221399667>the movie is wokeftfy
>>221399370You do realize they have to actually sell something at some point right?
>>221399351The head of the movie studio wants to goon to sexy She-Ra in the sequel
>>221399932You do realize Amazon sells things other than movies right?
>>221399685>its an amazon film...so now it takes a few years to make a profit instead of a few months.You're retarded. The reason why streaming services dump movies or shows is because they have to pay royalties on them. He-Man isn't going to magically make Amazon money years down the road. Whatever it makes on Prime will be much less than the box office
>>221399351Because Bezos wants the male 18-55 demo to subscribe to Amazon Prime. Duh.
>>221399351Maybe the director is friends with someone with a lot of money>>221399401I hope so
>>221399351>Fucking how?Because it was a good film
>>221400876>I hope sowhy?
>>221399351Because a) movie making is no longer about making money and b) box office is not the only way to make money out of movie making.
>>221400909We are living in the age where women arent even allowed to show their tummies however you can still have a half naked man in PG13 movies and nobody bats an eye
>>221399370Do you think they're gonna save 200 million in taxes from writing this off?
>>221400940>He-Man on amazon needs to be cancelled because Netflix fucked up a costume in a terrible showDo you know what a non-sequiter is?
>>221400770Why did he make this lame crap then. Does he have feminists whispering in his ear?
>>221400976What was lame about it? If anything it sneered at modern corpocuck feminism as Adam was able to liberate himself from HR hell and become the man he was supposed to be while also promoting a positive idea of healthy masculinity. Did you even see it?
>>221400962Woke enabler
>>221401045You screaming a word you don't understand at literally everything is why facebook needs to be banned and boomers need to be euthanized.
>>221401116Youre retarded
>>221401130>allow me, a complete tourist, to try to explain something I don't understand to you. Woke is pandering to American politics to appeal to an audience who doesn't care at the expense of the audience you have. Buff chads doing buff chad things in escapist fantasy that traditionally have male audeinces = not wokeGirlbosses pandering to feminists and twitter in escapist fantasies that traditionally have male audiences = woke. He-Man was the former. Thor Love and Thunder was the latter because Female Thor.
>>221401037Sure sounds like a lecture to me and they sold it under the guise of humor. Not what i'm looking for in my entertainment.
>>221399680Actually Amazon was planning to release a She-Ra miniseries on Prime but after the movie bombed, who knows
>>221400550NTA but your post is so stupid it isnt even worth responding to because it is clear you are too stupid to ever even understand how stupid you are even if it is spoonfed to you
>>221399662>>221399680Sequel is clearly going to be Evil Horde, Hordak, and She-Ra. Snake Men are third tier anyway, never made it into the cartoon.
>>221401182Refer to the pic anon youre wrong and also retarded
supergirl BTFO
They barely gave it two weeks in theatre.
>>221401182>he-man is the formerHe-Man doesnt do much in the movie and only appears in the last minutes of the film why he gets trashed by teela who is covered from head to toe, by your own definition it falls into wokekill yourself transexual and pronto
>>221401463It had its fair share of competition. There was Scary Movie 5. The Michael Jackson movie was still going well. Obsession was a surprisingly big hit. And it aired 2 weeks before Toy Story 5.
>>221399351Yeah I'm not sure how that works but it wasn't a bad movie. It's too long in my opinion but it's really not bad and Leto did a good job balancing Skeletor humor and menacing. A lot of CGI but what isn't these days...
>>221401588Literally nothing you posted is true.
>>221399401Nah it will get a lot of streams. It's a good action adventure movie and those are extremely rare these days.
>>221399501Nobody cares that Man at Arms is black, he's better that way anywaySelf insert character SHOULD be short or at least mid
>>221401353The pic is a facebook boomer trying to figure out what the kids are talking about level memery. >>221401588If you're actually arguing He-Man is woke, then you don't know what woke is and you're probably a wokoid yourself.
>>221401719Actually I care. Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms (but really just Idris Elba) was easily the worst part of the movie. That and the part where Teela friendzones Adam are my only gripes.
>>221401658all of it is true transexual, kill yourself and pronto>>221401840>movie goes on and on showing men as the problem just for using strength and power first when strength and power should be used>men are the only ones flawed>race swaps characters for no reason>womens aren't using the actual outfitsit is woke and you sound like one of those retards defending it, see above, kill urself
>>221401719maybe fags like you don't care but doesn't make it any less woke that he and teela got race swapped
>>221401962>movie goes on and on showing men as the problem just for using strength and power first when strength and power should be usedYeah violence is a last resort is a good moral. If your father had been around growing up you'd have know that. Also I am actually transsexual and you don't belong here. Go back to facebook, we don't like your dumb politics any more than theirs.
>>221402096>bitch attacks you first>not tries to, not a bluff, but actually starts with violence>you defend yourself as a last resort actually, otherwise you are a brute and a meaniewoke pussy moralkill yourself transexual
>>221400953I believe that's the plan.
I quite liked it actuallyDefinitely had a lot of rough corners but I enjoyed it overall
>>221399403Yes, that section only lasts for a few minutes
>>221399351It's selling a shit ton of merch and it's doing pretty good in digital sales.
>>221401840No you stupid fuck that pic is what woke means
>>221401293>NTA but your post is so stupid it isnt even worth responding to because it is clear you are too stupid to ever even understand how stupid you are even if it is spoonfed to youPlease, spoonfeed it to me. I await your silence.
>>221402857>it's doing pretty good in digital sales.What is being sold digitally? It's still in theaters.
>>221399370writing off movies as a loss, still hurts the company, you're economically retarded. Just like tax deductions for individuals, are generally still more expensive than just not spending the money at all if you can help it. You don't get 100% of what you spend back when you write off losses. All it does is lower your taxable income footprint.
>>221402202>>221402903>Boomers are ruining the memeAt least you're making transphobia cringe at the same time.
>>221399351That article was clickbait anonThe studio hasn't greenlit a sequel yet. Amazon just said it wasn't out of the question depending on how streaming numbers go.
>>221403392Yeah because that's what Bezos really cares about. Are males 18-55 subbing to Amazon prime for this.
>>221399351this is one of the few movies I actually wanted to watch in theaters and they pulled it after just a couple weeks
>>221399351This is an ad for the toys. They're probably already got early proto-types of She-Ra and the Horde in the works. Making a sequel is basically just there to cover the cost already spent on developing the toys.
>>221399351>>Still gets a sequel announcedNo sequel has been announced.
>>221404410Which online retailer will be selling the toys do you think?
>>221404449All of them. Big Bad Toy Store, Entertainment Earth, whatever online version of physical store you guys have in the US. MOTU is probably one of the easiest toylines to buy right now.
>>221404490You know I think, just a hunch, but it might actually be Amazon?
>>221404544Well yeah, but that's incidental. Even if another studio had made the movie the toys would be on Amazon because the toys are handled by Mattel.
>>221402925Not him, bro. But Amazon's master plan is to go 1:1 with Netflix's content. Content is all that matters to streaming services. More content, more chance for joe consooomer to use their platform. Every one is trying to catch up with Netflix.
>>221404655I'm just expanding on the fact that the value of MotU was never in it's box office numbers anyway. Amazon studios was never about winning oscars, it was always about driving it's core business which is online retail. I guarantee you the ads that will be played on the non-ad-free subscription to Amazon prime won't be for whatever the toy stores you're talking about are, they'll be links to the Amazon page selling the toys. And so what MotU really represents is the death of hollwood. Amazon doesn't need to obey their rules and doesn't. That's why all the people involved in disasters like ROPe and Woke of Time were all fired. Where Netflix chased away the males 18-55 demo, Amazon is now actively courting it because for Bezos a boycott isn't a boycott of a streaming service, it's a boycott of his entire $2.5trillion empire. He wants the nerds back.
I saw it tonight; honestly, it's one of the best movies I've seen this year. Great action scenes, attractive female actresses, good jokes, beautiful CGI. Good acting as well.
Moral boosting propaganda is a psychological warfare tactic used to shape mental attitudes, foster unity, and sustain commitment among troops and civilians during conflict. It primarily functions by reinforcing shared goals, national pride, and ideological loyalty while suppressing dissent through emotional appeals and controlled information channels. Historically, Axis powers in WWII utilized this method to legitimize war efforts and maintain societal cohesion despite hardships. They employed mass media like radio, film, and posters to create a sense of inevitable victory and demonize enemies, thereby consolidating power and motivating participation in the war effort.
>>221404789>I'm just expanding on the fact that the value of MotU was never in it's box office numbers anyway.True, I said in a previous thread that MOTU was never the kind of film that was going to do well in cinemas, it was the kind of film that if DVDs were still a big deal would have made a killing that way.I mean shit the '87 film was a total disaster and is considered terrible by even the most devoted MOTU fans, yet for a lot of kids the VHS was probably their first introduction, and it's now getting a 4K version with a brand new extended cut.Honestly the whole idea of films succeeding or failing at the box office is really bad for film in general because it distracts from more important factors like the fact that most studios are spending way too fucking much producing these films because they blow out the budgets on stupid shit like re-doing all the CGI with no clear intent, and that it's more important that a film is well made.
>>221399351>sequel announcedSays who?
>>221399351Fake news
>>221404953>Honestly the whole idea of films succeeding or failing at the box office is really bad for film in general because it distracts from more important factors like the fact that most studios are spending way too fucking much producing these films because they blow out the budgets on stupid shit like re-doing all the CGI with no clear intent, and that it's more important that a film is well made.I agree in principle. But the problem you're ignoring is that the box office matters to the cinemas themselves. And that the legacy studios, and physical hollywood itself, is actually deeply reliant on the those cinemas succeeding commerially. Every time a cineplex fails for whatever reason (and it's not all hollywood's fault), that's one less cineplex for them to sell their core business, feature films, through. Bezos represents a completely new model, and you're correct in saying I think it does actually harken back to the days of DVD rentals, and even syndicated network TV shows that were funded entirely by a combination of commericals and product placement. It's less about getting the audience to pay than it is about getting them to care, in a way that's generating good will for Amazon. And I think MotU really does that.
>>221399351>One of the biggest flops in movie historynot even close
>>221399932WRONG!Selling things is passe, all you need to is inflate your valuation. In this case by keeping an IP alive and convincing the bank its worth something, take out a loan with an interest rate at or below inflation and then use that loan to purchase stuff that increases your valuation to outgrow the debt you just acquired. Nothing productive needs to be done in the whole process you just need to convince investors will be worth more than your liabilities at sometime in the "future".
>>221399351it's a movie made for streaming, anything it got from the theaters is just gravy
>>221400876>Maybe the director is friends with someone with a lot of moneyyeah, his dad
>>221405274>Nothing productive needs to be done in the whole process>In this case by keeping an IP alive and convincing the bank its worth somethingDo you think bankers are morons? You're right that that is the business model. Not in this case, but for the legacy studios, particularly Disney, that is exactly what they are doing. The issue you're ignoring is that they're burning the brands to do it. The net present value of star wars at the moment is what? A couple of hundred million? With a $4.1billion financing on the other side of the balance sheet? That's WHY they need to keep refinancing, they can't cover their ongoing expenses with revenue, meaning that running a studio that doesn't produce anything at all isn't free, there's bills and salaries to pay, the janitors and tour guides aren't there as a charity. Which tells you exactly how this ends, certainly for Disney. Chapter 11. Sooner or later the banks aren't going to extend their credit and they're not going to be able to pay their bills.
BECAUSE IT HAS LEGS ON VODYOU DUMB FUCKIGN NIGGERS ITS 2026IT MAKES MILLIONS ALONE ON AMAZON PRIME DUMB FUCKS
>>221399370This is unironically how all leftists think economics work. Nothing ever really fails if you just do writeoffjutsu
>>221405348>Do you think bankers are morons?they have their own agenda, with DEI/WEF james bond villainy and aren't putting up their own money. They use your 401k or gibs from the federal reserve and just need places to stash money so they system doesn't break.
>>221399932Basically all movie studios are now owned by filthy rich megacorps that can easily absorb box office losses through merch, streaming subs, or completely separate business divisions. Especially with infantile franchises which is all Hollywood cares about now. Back in the 80s and earlier a movie bombing could bankrupt a studio; today the most you can hope for is a franchise hiatus and layoffs
>>221405529They do this in the hopes of inflating the value before eventually selling it, getting it subsidized somehow for being too important or big to fail, or some long term profit plan by killing competition that can't keep pumping money into it. If fucking He-Man has a part it that it's through shear dumb luck
>>221399351maybe the creator got them to do a two for one thing to save money, and shot some of the second film during the first one to save production for doing a sequel. Or maybe they have merch they are selling. Toy collectors are crazy, but you still need them to think their franchise isn’t dead, to spur the collecting autism on. Who knows man, who knows. I didn’t like it to be honest. I thought he was a bitch the whole movie, and the comedy wasn’t funny, and it ruined any scene that wanted to be serious or cool.
>>221405482No, their agenda is money. Financial shenanigans is just a way for them to make more money. Bernie Madoff wasn't undone because he was losing money, he was doing that the whole time, he was undone because he didn't seem to be losing money when everyone else was. That made the regulators suspicious which is what got him caught. Disney can't do that because they're a public company and have to file quarterlies, they can juice the figures to a point but the guys who are reading those figures know how to juice figures. Disney right now seemingly has a good debt to equity ratio of 0.44 (anything less than 1 is okay, anything less than 0.5 is good, anything less than 0.1 is perfect), but that's still reliant on the idea tha the things Disney owns are going to make money in the future. If a panic sets in, and it will sooner or later, the shareholders will lose faith and the equity plummets while the debt stays the same. Then the bankers start getting votes on what happens next.
Dummies will tell you picrel is the reason why. "Oh they're just making so much in toy sales!" But how profitable (especially to a company like Amazon) are toy sales really? You still have to make the plastic crap and sell it to a dwindling, aging clientele. And is there that much demand for "movie accurate Man At Arms and Teela" that it's worth burning 200 million dollars to promote when you could have just done some revamped, upscale versions of the classic designs?Personally I just don't think they'll actually make a sequel. This whole thing will be forgotten and we'll get a mediocre reboot in 5 years as has been the case since the 80s.I also fucking hated this shitty Thor movie with MoTU skin. The tone sucked, they were lamp shading the entire time and it lacked all the charm and chaotic energy of the cartoon/comics. I'm just happy this version of MotU failed and won't become the dominant version people think of when they think of the series
>>221399351maybe they think the franchise is worth investing in
>>221405797I don't think anybody is making that argument, certainly I'm not. The argument is that this is going to drive the right kind of traffic to Amazon Prime. Amazon studios is really just a marketing gimmik to getting people to sign up to Amazon prime. A movie ticket sells for like $10 on average globally, an Amazon prime subscription is $10 a month and encourages people with said subscription to shop on Amazon which the target audience for MotU is currently not doing because they're still big mad about ROPe. I don't know if MotU is going to achieve that, certainly not as a standalone, but it does send a signal that Amazon Studios are not playing by Hollywood's rules any more.
>>221405930I'm curious what the venn diagram of people who already were using prime anyway and people who wanted to watch shit on amazon prime video is, because I've never heard of someone signing up for it just to watch shit.
>>221405976I've always thought that was a valid point that should have been made during the day of ROPe, that actually the number 1 priority is simply avoiding a boycott by people who would sign up to Amazon Prime without Amazon Studios even existing. ie. doing LOTR with an all white cast and making males the main figures, would NOT have triggered a boycott, but ruining LOTR for fans of the Peter Jackson movies WOULD. But as I've pointed out so many times in the capeshit threads, nerds have ENOURMOUS spending power. A company like disney loses a couple of billion from the failure of star wars, a company like amazon might be facing 10 or 100 times that loss when you factor in all the table top wargamers buying their overpriced warhammer boxes from anywhere except Amazon and things of that nature. That said, consider what even a modest success of something like Off Campus means for Amazon. That's a LOT of dumpy white women and teenage girls watching an Amazon show with links to Amazon products and "free delivery" thrown in as a "bonus". THAT'S the model (and lo and behold all-white cast).
>>221405930> I don't think anybody is making that argument, certainly I'm not.The puff piece article in Forbes (I think?), which as far as I can tell is the sole source of this "IT'S GETTING A SEQUEL!" delusion cites the merch sales as a main reason why they're making another movie. And I've heard that sentiment parroted elsewhere.I minimize my patronage of Amazon as much as possible, but from what I can tell Prime subscribers are basically there for the free shipping, no? Like I'm under the impression their whole streaming operation is a nice bonus for subscribers, but it's basically shopping addiction and home delivery that keeps people hooked. I'm not even trying to be obtuse, but are there really people subscribed to Prime just for the streaming content and not getting useless crap delivered to their doorstep? Would Prime subscriptions actually plummet if they shuttered the streaming operation tomorrow? I wouldn't think so, but again, I'm not the target demo here.
>>221399351probably becasue the directors, writers, execs, actors and so on all sold their soul for three He-Man movies or something.or they all had to commit a satanic, luciferian ritual, and in return they got to be in three he-man movies.Or not.
>>221399351it's all based on how much discourse a film gets online. MotU is exceptionally good at generating memes.
>>221405445
>>221406156>I'm not even trying to be obtuse, but are there really people subscribed to Prime just for the streaming content and not getting useless crap delivered to their doorstep?You're not being obtuse at all. What I'm saying is there are a whole bunch of people who aren't currently addicted to shopping on Amazon with "free delivery" (nothing is ever free), and MotU seems to be Amazon moving towards targetting people like you who currently minimize your patronage of Amazon as much as possible and getting you to change your mind. As for the Forbes article, not my circus not my monkeys.
>>221399370Companies can't go bankrupt any more, we live in a technocratic dystopia.
>>221399465I thought it was terrible, and not even a 'so bad but kinda fun if you're high' terrible, it was just TERRIBLE. No one I know irl saw it though so idk what the general public thinks.
>>221400876The directors dad is Phil Knight, which wouldn't be a big deal if he were a talented director but he clearly not.
>>221401613The movie was awful. Horrible pacing, scattershot story and thematic, and no real message or moral to the story. He-Man gets friend zoned and no one learns anything. It was like modern film story in a nutshell.
>>221405221>And I think MotU really does that.The problem is it just wasn't a good movie, based on an IP no one really care sbaout anymore. The story was plagued by everything wrong with story telling today: no lesson, no catharsis. If there is no moral to the story, what's the point? It was called "masters of the UNIVERSE" But the world felt small. That should never happen.
>>221399370
>>221399351There's no guarantee a sequel actually gets made, but Amazon burns money on shit all the time. It's not like it makes a dent in their profit anyway. The first season of Citadel was the most expensive TV show ever made. If you knew it existed, you've probably forgotten it by now. They rushed out two spinoffs, which were swiftly cancelled. Then they debuted season 2 earlier this year. Rangs of Power and Wheel of Time both ran/are running longer than audiences have had interest in them. There's clearly also some Gen-X nostalgiafag in their rank given they're shitting out a Voltron live-action movie, picked up Fist of the North Star and Ghost in the Shell reboots, etc.
>>221399370LOL
>>221399351>biggest flops in movie historyok but which one is the biggest? still Waterworld?
>>221404789>He wants the nerds back.not happening. and kids don't buy those toys anymore. they buy minecraft shit, and overpriced e-celeb merch.
It's strange how the movies only get associated heavily with Amazon when they flop or get a spectacularly bad reception (Malania, Mercy, War of the Worlds) when most of the movies that do well are rarely associated with Amazon. I've only ever heard of Challengers as "an A24 movie," for instance.
>>221406482Nothing will ever beat John Carpeter. 300 mil when thst actually was unheard of and meant something.My favourite is Pluto Nash, its winner by %.
>>221406417>The story was plagued by everything wrong with story telling today: no lesson, no catharsis.Hard disagree, did you even see it? When Orlo shows up at the end to explain the moral of the story in an homage to the original cartoons I actually clapped, I never clap. And the moral of the story was entirely male focussed, being a man doesn't mean being good at violence, even if you are, it means being doing the right thing. Fucking loved it. When was the last time we even got a positive take on masculinity that wasn't from some grifter on youtube? Let alone the movie literally spelling it out, "this one is for the boys."I remember Shoe on Head critiquing the Dems 2024 campaign and noting that Dems only ever talk about men as a problem to solved, and never to men about their problems. This movie really felt like it got that and was talking TO men rather than about men. The themes being things like trapped in a HR nightmare when you're really the hero of your own story, failing to live up to your parents expectations, not punishing yourself from your screw ups but learning from them, and the power of a good heart. This is good shit, this has been missing from American cinema for SO long.
I liked it. Pros: Skeletor.Cons: Teela.
>>221406545Ain't reading all that, fat ass nerd nigga. It sucked. My theater had people walking out mid film shaking their head, most I've seen leaving a movie mid film since Napolean.
>>221406471>There's clearly also some Gen-X nostalgiafag in their rankIt's my understanding that's actually Bezos himself. There was a story a while ago about how he greenlit a stargate show because he personally was a fan, but then ungreenlit it and blacklisted the producers after he found out they were deliberately trying NOT to appeal to stargate fans.
>>221406516Why does everyone keep talking about kids like kids have any money?>>221406563Okay. You do you. You're still wrong tho.
>>221406547I don't understand everyones enjoyment with skelator, the voice acting felt highly affected and contrived, and the weird pauses and panning for comedic 'effect' fell flat every time.
>>221399351cause it's a good movie with much promisesequel will do better now that word of mouth is reaching out
>>221406332Kubo is great

>>221406590I thought it was mid, and this was bad. He's 0-2 right now as a director, I think he should stick to producing and hiring the right creatives, he clearly isn't a good creative himself. At least someone like Katzenburg stayed in his lane and never directed, Knight should take notes.
>>221406595How would you know, you didn't read my post?
>>221406527because bezosZon funded a lot of crap. like netflicks funded a lot of crap.
>>221406611I don't humor fat incels fan fix, sorry
>>221406694Okay. You do you. You're still wrong tho.
>>221406581because they're talking about toys. or your samefaggits are. adult toy buyer are a small disappearing number. back in the day, cartoons and anime can make a meh series or movie and still sell tons of toys, mostly to kids. parents buy toys for their kids duh?
>>221406709>the adult toy buyer are a small disappearing number.
>>221406704Okay, and you're still a fat incel as evidenced by your inability to just accept the fact someone ain't readin' all that and that someone has a different opinion than you. Imagine typing all that shit out and the only person responding to it didn't read it, is trolling you because they can't fall asleep, and you keep responding anyway. Holy incel..
>>221406709>adult toy buyer are a small disappearing number.All toys are bought by adults moron. Whether the adults are buying the toys for themselves or for children doesn't change the fact that it's adult money making adult purchases for adult reasons. The opinion of children doesn't matter until they reach working age whereupon their thoughts and feelings become relevant to someone other than their parents.
>>221406742>OkayThankyou for conceding. Did not read the rest of your post. Please try your best not to be wrong on the internet again.
>>221406720How is he wrong? If kids aren't buying MOTU toys, then it's primarily appealing to 40+ year old men who didn't grow out of collecting figures or want an impulse nostalgia hit. That is a finite number that will only shrink as time goes on.
>>221406803>40+ year old men who didn't grow out of collecting figuresHow much do you think those men spend on pop-culture a year? Ballpark?
>>221406765>The opinion of children doesn't matter until they reach working ageparents love their kids and talk to them. maybe yours didn't. that's why you're here being a dumbass with no IRL XP, anonnon.
>>221406822not enough if pokemon merch sales from tiny ass nippon isles mogs ALL anime-related merch sales in USA.
>>221406822The thing is, MOTU has been doing collector's lines for like 15 years straight now. There are literally TMNT MOTU figurines. That audience has never been left untapped. Slop like movies are supposed to do more than just bring in some lapsed fans.
>>221406852You know who else loves children and talks to them? Pedophiles. The rest of us are too busy trying to get that bag to bother with other people's kids.
>>221406882Did they buy them from Amazon.com tho? Because the guy who paid to make this movie would really like it if, in future, they bought all of their niche merch from Amazon, free delivery with an Amazon Prime subscription.
>>221399351Why does He-Man look like a yoga instructor?
>>221406886>REEEEEEEE!!! U ARE PEDOS!karens and lefties . all the time when they lose an argument... >>>/pol/
>>221406960>My parents pay for everything and I have never had to earn an honest buckThat must be nice.
>>221406610I heard Bumblebee was okay so I'm more like 2-1.
>>221407010I didn't. I thought it was Jewy and failed to recognize what the Transformers audience even was let alone what they liked about Transformer. It's a really obnoxious attitude that is far too pervasive in hollywood. They look at Transformers, see a CH-53 turn into a giant robot and start laying waste to an army base before A-10s and a AC-130 go to town on a robot scorpion and think "this must be for kids!"
>>221400888>>221403595Ya gotta be fast nowadays.
>>221399403I personally quite liked it. The film gets a little self referential at point which is a little cringe but the action sequences were genuinely kink
>>221399465Its dweeby but a good popcorn movie. If you turn your brain off and let yourself get into it like you would for a Godzilla or a Superhero flick you appreciate it a lot more
Has a sequel really been announced? So far I've only seen a single site reporting it. I'm waiting for an official announcement that it's been greenlit.
>>221399403Treat it like marvelslop, it's actually fun.
>>221399351Movies don't flop anymorethey just take longer to make money. Plus MOTU was a perfectly fine film, it will probably find an audience on streaming.
>>221406568If this is true than I take back any bad thing Ive said about Bezos
