I'm sorry Feig, but I thought this film wasn't for us? I thought that this was for the modern audience? How can it be the fault of people who aren't your audience?
These people love to blame everyone else for their own failure. And it's funny because anyone with any talent can recover from a bad original screening. The Thing, The Shining and Blade Runner are all examples of films that flopped in the box office but recovered after the fact. 2016 GB has never and will never recover. It's a bad movie.
And the fact Feig can't let it go only strengthens the idea that it was meant to be a statement. So when he says:
“It turned the movie into a political statement, as if to say: ‘If you’re pro-women, you’re going to go see this. If you’re not, then …’ I didn’t think it mattered at all that the main characters were women, but people brought a lot of baggage.”
his implication that this film isn't a statement just can't be taken seriously. Because it's clear that it was very much a statement since it still needs to be defended instead of just accepted as a loss.
We had another clear example of this with that statement the Ubisoft frog put out the other day saying, “we don’t push political agendas” after a decade of lacklustre DEI propaganda and one of his company’s minions literally being a Sweet Baby Inc founder.
The narcissism with these people is always off the charts.
pfft good luck with that. any shareholders who aren't already convinced it was just misogynistic trolls on the internet who killed the film aren't gonna fall for this angle...
Ubisoft says that everytime one of their games gets slightly controversial in the mainstream. Almost verbatim said the same thing with Far Cry 5 and The Division.
And those prior times, heck even this one, they end up so clumsy with their attempt at being Woke that it almost seems believable in a way that they are just that retarded.
It could just be embezzling and money laundering too. Makings movies is not always about making a statement, or even about money. Like Sony spiderman. Probably loads others. Reviving franchises can't really make comebacks later on because by then a new regurgitation is 'peoduced' and consumed by specific audiences, like u said.
And if it's not for money, then it's for power. In this case though influence in the target audience. Ya, it's not for us. Obviously. It's for someone. Not money either.

Kinda makes you wonder who they're trying to convince; themselves, or the general populace.
They’re trying to convince the shareholders.

They genuinely think they're not being political. They're just "being good people."

Those were my watchwords as a teens/20s liberal. That's a big reason I loved progressivism without even recognizing it.
