    I feel like those trying to sell the movie caused that sort of reaction on purpose, it just didn’t end up working for them (not to mention the movie was pretty shit)

      That’s probably true for a lot of these outrages. I don’t believe for a moment that the recent bullshit where people suddenly realized that Superman was technically an immigrant just days before a new Superman movie opened was genuine.

        the script is dogshit, should we spend more time and hire consultants and do market research to improve it?

        naw just race/genderswap the lead and then pretend to cry about racists online

      I wonder if it really didn’t work. Without all the shitstorm, nobody would have noticed or cared about the movie.

      I’m pretty sure a lot of the people who watched it did so to see what all the fuss was about.

      It was still a major fail, but imagine how much of a fail it would have been without these viewers.
