Hollywood Still Blaming the Fans

In case you haven't noticed, DC released a movie over the weekend. That was Supergirl. It was a massive flop.

Hollywood can't admit that the current crop of writers don't know how to write a superhero movie. They don't understand what the stakes should be, what the character arcs should be, how the dialog should flow, or anything else that might get people to turn out for a movie.

When Morbius failed, no one claimed racism. Of course when Blue Beetle crashed and burned, they blamed racism. (Explain Sinners then.) It is never their fault for producing a bad movie.

This is just a roundup of some of the reactions to the cope.

First, someone who is not one of the usual suspects. Amala Ekpunobi is usually more focused on politics, but she does push into the culture war side of culture. She published a video Hollywood Does It Again.

Then the usual crew...

• Disparu: Supergirl FALLOUT Gets WORSE As Media Hate Men
• Snarky Jay: SUPERGIRL FLOPPED... Now They're Blaming YOU
• Clownfish TV: Supergirl BOMBED and MEN are Blamed.
• RK Outpost: Supergirl FALLOUT Gets WORSE As Media Hate Men

Imagine if a vegetarian bought the popular (or maybe the 2nd-most popular) steak house in town. Then imagine that they didn't like the fact that the restaurant was serving meat, and so they changed the menu, either slowly over time, or all at once. Would it be the customers' fault that people stopped going to the restaurant? It isn't serving what the people want.

This is certainly what DC has been doing. And Marvel. Maybe all of Hollywood.

So why does Hollywood think their business is different?

They used to understand this. There was a saying. "It is show business, not show friends." I don't think that they understand that anymore.
