Uhhhh, I hate that you’re technically correct in this

Also, if the spiders get really hungry then there’s an easy lunch nearby

Yeah, some stuff has including Bill and Ted.

Off the top of my head, stuff that had a neat idea but kinda didn’t come out or do well:

• Krull
• RIPD
• Hancock
• A good portion of the Justice League movies (but too soon for that)
• Avatar (though I’ve heard the new series is ok, also: not the 3D one with the giant Smurfs)
• Solaris

Various book or game adaptations that tried and failed or were overshadowed by something else

• Narnia (failed vs Harry Potter and didn’t get followed through, but wasn’t that bad)
• Percy Jackson
• Eragon
• Dresden Files TV series
• Wing Commander
• Doom (the 3rd game in the series actually did have a plot and it was better)

Until they pay your minimum wage dude to poison your cup-noodles when you’re both looking

Oh, they’ll try, but that just means trolling needs to get more creative, like certain Amazon reviews

With that though, I’m happy with good sequels to old movies, franchises or shows. Not many actually do that, but a few gems IMHO include Rogue One and Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Really though, if they’re going to regurgitate old stuff why not take a movie/series that had a good premise and bad execution. It at least stands a chance of being better the second round.

Hell, you could even poke fun at the reasons the original sucked and/or make it a twist in the remake.

Also, the fact that technology makes it easier to actually collect data on stuff like depression etc and people are more encouraged to speak about it, as opposed to previous “it’s life, man up and take it” generations’ attitude…

Yeah, I figure it does two ways

1. They get called out quickly and result in a bunch of shitposts or actively blasting the product

2. They block posting which makes it obvious they’re ads and get little too no engagement anyhow
