There have always been popcorn movies for the mainstream masses. You don't actually believe there was a time when everyone was into "big stirring films" do you? Let me guess, youre all ~20 years old.

They're not. Now they're multi-film franchises though.

Kill Bill 1&2
Harry Potter 7 1&2
Hunger Games 3 1&2

you can make bigger-scale (as in CGI, plebs don't really care if it's a CGI shitfest or actual stunts) movies with shittier, cheaper scripts, and still make a billion dollars more than the average epic

Get the fuck off my board you pleb.

Because a galaxy far, far away is actually hell.

The typical pleb denying that nearly all art forms (or maybe even totally all art forms) are slowly being degraded and dumbed-down because people are also being degraded and dumbed-down
