The attention span for the average movie viewer have sunken so drastic that these kinds of film just aren't profitable anymore.

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
