I’m at wits end with people continually saying there’s nothing original any more, to then see the list of films that I’ve seen from the year and have the number of IP films just barely cross the double digit mark and the slew of original films that seem to have barely made an impact financially, particularly when I know so many people in here “hate-watch” new franchise stuff.

I know not everyone is interested in the new foreign arthouse film or social issue drama, and that superhero movies and legacy sequels will pull in the most interest. But I dunno how anyone can watch the first thirty seconds of that video, see that guy get irrationally irate over the top of footage of the new animated He-Man and not think “maybe you need to grow up mate”.

See I have no argument with this, but the wording of this is miles away from "people need to grow up and watch films tailored to them".

His maturity levels and his interests are two seperate things (I'm going only on what you've said here, I haven't watched the video).

Someone can tell me they adore The Muppet Babies and I wouldn't call them immature. Someone else could get irrationally angry about how The Godfather Part III ruined their life and I'd think of them as a petulant child.
