me: but if you think about it the success of generic and universally despised franchises is kind of fascinating, and from a creator’s standpoint, I think its valuable to examine how and why these movies keep being made-

some fucko who watches ChannelAwesome: its MONEY lol

me: oh yes thank you so much I hadn’t even thought of that. Who knew that a business that costs millions to participate in on a mainstream scale would be concerned with insuring their investments pay off. Thank you so much for your contribution of “people in Hollywood like money” i dont think we could have even broached the topic of film analysis without it. What a deep and profound statement. Tell me sir, where did you study film? My teacher bored us all with facts about social climate, advertising, and general rules of storytelling in my screenplay writing class, but it seems like your education was FAR more fruitful. Why didn’t I consider the fact that an industry based in America, this capitalist hellscape, would be concerned with money? Well thank god you brought it up sir. Has everyone heard this gentleman here? Does everyone understand that money is evil and ruining film even though movies from the ‘golden age’ were far more expensive to make and therefore had stricter regulations on who and what were allowed to participate? okay? Have we all applauded this critical genius for his valuable contribution to the discussion of mass appeal in cinema? okay good moving on but first we need to have a 5 minute segment where my alter ego “CEO Overlord” punches me in the nuts repeatedly so we can really make sure everyone understands your profound and brave statement
