Apparently the new Exorcist is another woke flop

To be honest, the concept for the Exorcist has always been so narrow in scope that I don't know how anyone could've expected it to succeed beyond maybe two movies. There's really not any surprises to be had when its formula can be summarized in one or two sentences.
Furthermore, you can't exactly utilize the characters to improve the appeal beyond the original film imo.
Constantine on the other hand has a lot more going for it as a concept. Unfortunately, beyond the one movie, maybe the upcoming film, and its original comic runs, it only started receiving attention when the comic-industry milking went into overdrive and woke writers decided to fuck with him.
The third exorcist movie is much, much better than the second.
Was that the one with the bugs?
Nah, it’s the one with Legion.
I need to rewatch. It's been a while. James Earl Jones showing up was my biggest shock.
