On /sp/ there's a classic meme about the Buffalo Bills being the Razorcakes. Everytime you go to take a bite of cake the damn thing has razors in it. Thats what the Mcu has become for viewers.
However there's another problem that needs to be brought up.
>unsustainable budgetsLet's take a look at Thunderbolts. It supposedly has a 180 million budget. You can't fucking have a 180 million dollar budget on C list heroes anymore. Standard 2.5 means it would need roughly 450 to break even. That's not happening for c liters anymore. The studio set itself up for failure. Studios have to be conscious of this shit. Everything has changed. The China maket has basically dried out on Hollywood movies outside of Jurassic Park. On top of that, Consumers don't want to spend 20 dollars a ticket on mediocre. They can stream mediocre on their 70+inch without paying concessions.
CFOs/CEOs need to learn to say no to a projects that are obviously not viable. Take a fucking tax write off on shit.
