here there be monsters

I will be annoying about the media I enjoy consider this a promise

every single piece of franchise media released nowadays is so disrespectful to its audience i feel insane watching these things. they know they don’t have to put any effort in at all. everything is just a collection of tropes on a shitty video game looking background and there are innumerable people who go yeah that was cool. it’s literally treating you like a child with no object permanence and banking on the fact that you can point at the fancy trick or the cameo instead of recognizing the deeply stupid and insulting things playing out in front of you

Listen the Barbie movie should have been made in the very early 2000s featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. or it never should have been made at all
