Clearly the new one is more popular by a wide margin. Just thought I’d…anticipate…potential rebuttals.)
What a bizarre response coming form someone whose vocation is writing fiction, which a fundemental part of a successful career is writing characters with DIFFERENT points of view....and a science fiction writer should probably have even MORE of an imgaination than most.
So unless your characters are one dimensional and stereotypes, you should have SOME understanding of different points of view. (though of course not necessarily agreement)
Markonian also said SOMETIMES.
I think most of us would agree that too much merging is bad.... but some minor advantages could be the ability to do crossovers, or the possibility of easier access to view material (at least in one place, as opposed to multiple)
Also, new technologies and resources, such as YouTube, could theoretically create those independent opportunities. And perhaps when public domain starts opening things up, that maybe we can see some approaches that could be Proof of Concept to create investment interest.
Would it be fair or unfair to say that maybe many of those views for the first video were due to people looking it up to compare to the latest video?In the interest of fairness, internet traffic overall has increased dramatically in the intervening decade or so. In the interest of fairness.

I think it's a good point, that many major companies are arguing.... that what USED to be strong successful companies that, while still "big", are still losing enough money to competition that they need to merge.Why not, considering WBD and Paramount are still losing money due to their debts?

Trump May Increase Opportunity for ‘Needed’ Industry Consolidation, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav Says
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav expressed hope President-elect Donald Trump will put policies in place that would ease media consolidation.
The founders and CEOs of big tech and Hollywood companies are optimistic about the removal of anti-monopoly laws or making things easier than they used to be, so why not?
Also, I don't think Jeff Bezos and David Zaslav support Trump for nothing.
In the United States Grocery store chains Korger and Albertsons were trying to merge because they feel they are getting enough competion . I know i personally go to Aldi and Walmart first before i go to the other stores for anything else we need, and many do the same.
I think you make a good point that several "strong" companies could actually close, and they "need" resources of another to survive.

Morpheus 02, I'm guessing you've likely arrived at the answer to your statement above.
It says much that some (not meaning you) cannot let their obsessive hate of an old film go, instead of talking about the one that's supposed to be their dream come true--one of the subjects of this thread. Then again, they're also not talking about the heat generated by negative reactions to a recent screening of the Gunn Superman film, which some (probably shills) have gone overboard to claim were not true reactions.
*shrugs*
You can simply vote with your wallet. I can’t wait to go see it. Even if it is shit, I’ll have a great time with great company.
Let's not panic. "The buzz is not good" could just mean the guy had some kind of alcohol mishap.

I'm not saying this isn't true, but I'm starting to not trust those kind of early reactions, because it seems like there have been a lot of movies lately that have had spectacular early reactions, with people calling them one of the best ___ movies ever and things like that, and then when they come out the overall reaction is almost the complete opposite.

Well, let's put it this way: a couple of years ago, the Batgirl movie had been screened, with negative reactions reported. Some tried to argue that there was some "agenda" in criticizing the film, but in the end, WB permanently shelved the film which supported the reported screening reactions. So, who knows? If there are negative reactions to the screening, its probably worth discussing. It certainly happens "across the street" with the MCU, as we have witnessed next to no one has being shy about dissecting the coming Captain America 4 with its numerous re-shoots, unimpressed screening reactions, etc.
What can we actually discuss, if we don't know what is causing the negative reactions? Besides, no matter how good or bad a movie is generally seen as, we have people that love the bad ones, people that hate the good ones.
Quite true.
Everything has reshoots. That is not inherently a negative thing.
"Numerous reshoots" also is not a "thing" that's happening with Superman.
Last month Gunn said they were doing a day and a half of pickup shots. Which I assume is a different that reshoots.
Not as juicy as Reshoots, I guess.

It is a different thing, yes.
People like too much to pretend that they know things about behind-the-scenes and technical stuff regarding movies that they just don't - same as some fans can go on and on about formulae by which studios determinen profit on a project, base budgets and promotion, etc.
That nonsense fuels dozens of gossipy, mostly negative YouTube channels that depend on sensationalism for clicks. That it's mostly untrue isn't their concern - just the algorithm that determines how much money they make. And they "arm" fans who go forth and repeat their nonsense all over the Internet, confident that they've learned important insider stuff.

The number of re-shoots--especially after test screenings--poured fuel on the fire of negative perceptions about Cap 4.
Aren't you Cap 4's biggest booster?

Mmm I think more importantly, it's hard to trust the YouTube viewcount for much anymore with how they've been open about both removing views on occasion, and that ad-buying of views is likely more common than a decade ago.
(Which doesn't eliminate that Gunn's movie looks far superior to me and hasn't captured people's imaginations more from what I can tell).
