I feel like you wouldn't have to go through TOO many licensing hoops to get that a western release. Not to the level of say, a Super Robot Wars.

It's time for the Guardian of the Universe and Friend to All Children to be on the big screen once again. There was supposed to be a new Gamera coming out, did that ever happen? It had a rad trailer

Just as there will be more fans of the current generation of Star Wars films than of any of the previous films. Naw. CineD goons have the weird belief that dislike of the prequels is confined to internet nerds and not a common opinion.

Seems like you're confirming that theory, they did a survey of internet users and they don't like the prequels. The only data I can go on is the box office numbers and the prequels did as well as or better than the originals, so it doesn't make sense to me that the reviews match up with reality.

The lowest reported age is 18-29, so the survey is already discounting a significant fraction of fans, and specifically the fans most likely to be unbiased of the prequels.

The prequels were probably one of the first major cases of a movie everyone simply expected to be brilliant that upon reflection (which even casual audiences would find themselves doing with what was inescapably marketed and referenced) really didn't hold up. Basically, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpYEJx7PkWE Bad movies can and do make lots of money. Key thing is, they don't necessarily have lasting appeal, and are often completely forgotten in the long run. I'm pretty sure most people who watch the Bayformers movies have forgotten 99% of what happened in them by the time they leave the cinema.

Terrible Opinions posted:That's not true at all. They got more money because ticket prices have massively inflated by the original Star Wars had by far the highest number of actual tickets sold. Then comes the Force Awakens, then Empire Strikes Back, then Return of the Jedi, then Episode 1. Not according to box office mojo which has options to adjust for date and total tickets sold.

If the prequels were beloved and fondly remembered, TFA probably wouldn't have been trying so desperately hard to distance itself from them, to the point of cutting context for the plot because of fears that too much 'boring politics' would send audiences into PTSD attacks.

Terrible Opinions posted:I was Iooking at box office mojo and the all time box office sales number gives different numbers than the screenshots by Snowglob of Doom. Regardless those show episodes 4 and 7 being by far the most popular and episodes 2 and 3 falling behind even a spin off movie. They were bad movies sorry to burst your CineD bubble. I'm certainly no fan of the Prequels and I'll be an OT man 'til the day I die but Episode 4 is the 2nd biggest movie in the history of cinema so of course almost every other movie is going to pale by comparison. Phantom Menace is still #18 on the list of biggest recorded domestic box offices (adjusted for inflation) so even though it's trailing behind the entire OT and The Force Awakens it was still more popular at the box office than The Avengers or Raiders of the Lost Ark or The Dark Knight or Ghostbusters. I don't like it and I can't explain it but that's how it is.

The Phaontom Menace's high numbers are easily explained: there was much pent-up excitement and demand for a new Star Wars movie so that everyone wanted to see it, even when reviews didn't come back stellar. The performance of the subsequent two prequels more accurately reflect the deflated expectations people had for the story Lucas had embarked upon.

Box office numbers are not an indicator of quality or public reception. People rarely demand a refund for a movie they didn't like and for something as big as Star Wars people are more than happy to brave bad word-of-mouth to see it. Especially if they have kids, since Star Wars has always been a kid friendly franchise and kids are significantly less discerning in taste.

So how do you explain the fact that the adjusted numbers for Rogue One match up with the prequels but the reviews put them at opposite ends? I'm not claiming one is better than the other, I just think it's pretty clear that what reviewers think is good doesn't line up with what what audiences like. Which is what spurred this whole conversation, brand poison not being the same as bad reviews.

I'm only saying that people wanted to see Phantom Menace for themselves, no matter what, regardless of reviews. That's why the box office was so high on such a lovely movie.

It's still a major derail but my anecdotal experience tells me that prequel hate is a state of mind, with the vast majority of people not really caring that much about star wars in general, and those who do tending to just taking the bad with the good in stride and considering the prequels important films even if they prefer the original trilogy. Shocking, I know, but most people are just like, "Everything's subjective" and are done with it. The furthest they'll go is that the prequels are an easy "new things are worse than old things" punching bag, but not actually be invested in how you rank your laser sword/zappy ship movies.
