    How was this a movie people watched. The first one was kinda fun. The second was so bad people forgot about who even played in it.

    None of those statements are questions.

      Because people are compelled to see a story through. How many times have you watched a bad series until the end because you were too invested?

          Yes. I agree with you, but I know many people who cling to shitty books, series, games in some weird obligation to finish. There is definitely a sense of accomplishement in seeing something through to the end and closing it forever, but I also don’t get it. A few weeks ago I stopped a movie after 15 minutes because it sucked - time is my most valuable commodity, and I refuse to waste it in ways that are not highly enjoyabe to me

          Corporate Stockholm Syndrome and a clear lack in media literacy.

          Honestly just gonna block the incessant Hollywood bootlickers that just mindlessly parrot business propaganda.
