Media Is it just me or when it comes to entertainment do people like absolute slop?

I was just browsing Rotten Tomatoes.

The Visit - low score.
The Village - low score.
Edge of Darkness - low score.

... Deadpool & Wolverine...... 94%.

What on Earth is going on...

It reminds me of this Doug Stanhope bit where he says that most people are morons and tools and the evidence he gives is that wrestling is the number 1 show on TV, lol

Yeah. Pretty much this is the same phenomenon we're noticing here.

And ramzpaul was once commenting on drugs and said a problem with drugs is that even if some people can use them in a way that is vaguely intelligent, most will just dope themselves out of it and it won't do them or society any good.

Apparently people didn't like Van Gogh during his lifetime.

So you really can't trust public opinion. It doesn't mean nothing, but it means far from everything.

You can see in various products that the most popular thing is often not the best.

Consoomers are easily manipulated and controlled.

I actually think IMDb tends to be significantly better in this regard.

So maybe Rotten Tomatoes isn't the best place to go for an intelligent consensus on different movies!

I don't watch movies nowadays because they're always some hidden agenda they try and push towards you to pander to a certain audience.

If I do watch a movie it's pirated

Yeah I almost checked out the 2020 version of Brave New World but I'm so used to anything after about 2017 being essentially woke propaganda that I decided it was best to leave it!

I think it's hard to be a fan of so many hobbies. Its untruthful. I only really like gaming since I started in playing it in 1990. Even movies back then seemed boring too me. I can't even get into anime. Normies are just fakers that will shamelessly watch anything popular because gatekeeping was never a thing.

It seems like... people basically want exactly what they had before, but done again.

And they like things that are predictable and quite "bland".

So for example they like Alien Romulus NOT Alien Covenant. They like Coldplay NOT Radiohead.

Why? Because they're safe and very similar to what they already know.
