In the end it comes to making money and they will wise up eventually. If they don't, they die... and someone else will come along and fill the void.

When those movies bomb they have a built-in scapegoat.
Us. If we weren't so toxic the box office numbers would be better - not that the movie itself was a turd. They can lose money and still validate their worldview. |

It’s hard to believe, given all the money out there waiting to be collected, that a right leaning Patriot type filmmaker isn’t putting out movies that appeal to non SJW types.
I suppose Clint Eastwood is but otherwise I cant think of any. |

How did 'Captain Marvel' do?
IIRC, the chick that starred in it was a major league, douche bag, SJW, feminist cunt. |

Can't use it as a metric for what movie goers will do if they are presented with the choice on a movie that isnt a must see if for no other reason than you see the 15 preceding movies. Even then, I redbox'd it and I sti want my $1.75 and 3 hours of my life back. Such a shit movie. Cannot believe I suffered 2.85 hours of bullshit for a 15 min fight scene. |

They can make their own choices, just as moviegoers make theirs. |
