    It’s true, though. You market the shit out of the movie just to get people to watch Jared “Don’t Ask What I’ve Been Up To On Tinder” Leto dress like an 8-bit gladiator and do some stunts.

    Then the movie becomes another advertising vehicle for the game. And the game becomes an advertisement for the Disney Park. And the park is stuffed full of adverts for the next movie.

    It’s all one giant marketing ouroboros. From the outside, yeah, it looks crazy. But when you’re being shit out and eaten over and over again, you’re convinced that you’re having a great time.
