im usually the person saying that. i try to do the opposite of what gbs says to do, tbh, because gbs usually has really bad opinions

still if im watching dunkey the thought that he is a peer of pewdiepie is going to ruin it for me

He is a peer of pewdiepie. Theyre both youtubers.

The point was, nobody threw an uproar over other reboots. Unnngh Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -- my childhood! Robocop -- My childhood!

This def happened, I distinctly remember all the Johnny Depp hate. Also the Robocop hate, even though that movie was pretty decent for a generic scifi action movie (imo people just hate it so much because it doesn't live up to their nostalgia - first Robocop movies weren't that good either).

Are you seriously suggesting that nobody called the Robocop remake a soulless piece of poo poo? The Robocop remake was a piece of garbage and I dont think there was a lack of people on the internet saying so.

it wasnt the most downvoted trailer on youtube and it didnt have 20,000 4chan threads trashing it

edit: or a bunch of gbs megathreads trashing it

I guarantee you Robocop had plenty of 4chan threads trashing it. Nobody cared because there wasnt a Sony Advertising Apparatus behind Robocop stoking the flames of controversy in an attempt to get butts into the seats on opening weekend before word of mouth kills any momentum the movie had going for it.

You said nobody threw an uproar over Robocop and people absolutely did. Now youre saying "but it wasnt as big as Ghostbusters", but thats not what I was arguing originally.

i didnt say no one was upset about robocop. i dont think. i said it wasnt a riot like the backlash against ghostbusters.

pg-13 robocop should have made the internet melt down like ghostbusters did, but it didnt

I sort of find it hard to talk about anything in the entertainment industry just because of the amount of scummy advertising money being pumped into everything. Was the resistance to Ghostbusters real, or was it just an artifact of signal boosting a bunch of rabblerousers who, when they realized they were being paid attention to, got even more loud and obnoxious? Normally id say it was real, but when you have a entire legion of shitheads in suits who employ literal mind control (marketing and advertising) to trick people into watching their piece of poo poo movies suddenly everything gets a lot more complicated.

If you told me that the rabblerousers were being purposefully highlighted in order to create sympathy for the film and the actors in it I wouldnt be suprised. People who work in advertising are liars for pay and will push any narrative that they think will help them.

h3h3 are like these youtubers that call out dumb internet poo poo while also being dumb internet poo poo. They're friends with both Pewdiepie and Jontron, and when Pewdiepie was outed for his nazi poo poo, they stepped up to defend him. So I'm just expecting them to do it again for Jon.

And it'll be funny when they do. But in a sad way.

no, i mean like is this satire? None of these youtubers are white supremacists. I'd assume you're just yanking my chain because comedy forum but there are so few comedic embellishments in your post that I'm not entirely sure if you're kidding around or not.

Oh I dont have a specific conspiracy theory. As in, I dont think Junior Executive A saw low numbers in the trailer that they just cut and immediately got Junior Marketing VPs 1 - 14 to hammer social media and Entertainment tonight with positive stories. Im just saying it would have been trivial for them to do so and they most likely did, since generating good optics is the only reason these people exist.

Well some shithead actuary crunched the numbers and saw that an R rated movie would be 17% less profitable than a PG-13 movie and everyone is like "Wow we can make 14 million dollars more as long as we meet PG-13!" because these people move forward with the assumption that people will watch whatever poo poo they serve up and the overall quality of the film doesnt matter as long as it meets a few required bullet points like Having An Existing IP People Have Nostalgia For, and The Rating Isnt So High People Cant Bring Thier Kids (and theyre probably right)
