I always thought the problem was not sticking to the heart of the story. You can make changes all you need to if the core of the story is the same. Disney's Mysterious Benedict Society show is amazing...they made a ton on changes on setting and plot, but they kept the 4 main characters consistent and the message consistent.

30 Aspects Of Modern Films That Annoy People The Most, As Shared In This Online Group That instead of actually making gay characters that are legitimately good, and have purpose in the narrative, they just make being gay that character's entire thing. Like: "Hey look at how gay this person is. We aren't homophobic at all" This is gonna sound awful, but no representation is better than s****y representation. Just talk to a gay guy, if you need information. I'm sure you'll get a lot of insight, and it'll make what you're working on even better.

They keep forcing woke characters and having them there because they are woke. Like making Velma gay and giving Shaggy the tan of a lifetime is asking for criticism. Long running series like Scooby Doo has made Shaggy an icon, and most of the Scooby media portrays him and Velma having a on/off relationship. Compare that to Jesus from the Walking Dead when he’s actually a badass character and not there for the sole purpose of being a gay character, he is relevant to the plot, same goes for Aaron who is in the same show. Same applies when you make changes to a character. Take Gaz from Modern Warfare, yes they made him black.

I can't do movie discussions in most online spaces anymore because they've gotten so toxic. And a lot of people seem to confuse personal preferences with valid criticism. Film literally started as a short spectacle for entertainment. It was about visual effects, vignettes of life and humor, and occasionally the fantastical. It was not originally about complex long narratives. 4 of the original 5 movie studios didn't survive past the early days because they refused to invest in long narrative films assuming audiences would never sit that long. Cinema continues to evolve and there are certainly movies that are more meaningful but the idea that we've left the good days of cinema behind is kind of silly. From its very inception it's been about entertainment. Demand has always left certain film industry people who couldn't acclimate behind. There are still fantastic original movies being put out along with all of the sequels and franchises. Sure the MCU is tiring for a lot of people but

Character pulls out cell phone, reads text that is so small, you have to hit pause and walk up to your TV to read it. Movie Execs: this will eventually be seen on ghe small screen, please make it legible!!!!

Most of these boil down to profit over art and originality. There are still good films and filmmakers, but the industry has turned into a monopoly for the mass media companies.

Kids. Either they ignore orders and common sense and traipse off to look at the erupting volcano when everyone is evacuating, or They are the pandered geniuses who must fix all the mistakes their bumbling yet devoted parents make or They make constant smart -*** remarks to their parents and the parents don't do anything except makes excuses for them.

I have to say I hate the movie pot smoking (I don't mind pot smoking per se, but in movies it is getting annoying). Hollywood banned scenes with cigarettes smoking eons ago, unless it's crucial to the plot. But suddenly every movie with rating 13+ has at least one scene where they're smoking pot. Is this overcompensation? Does Hollywood want to show how "free" they are since marihuana is legal in some states? "Let's show how we can be controversial" or I don't know what it is. And don't even get me to start with 'comedy' movies. I can say I don't watch Hollywood movies from 2000 on that are marked comedy, they are mostly gross.

yep, I've re-watched some comedies between 84 and 2000 and they are super racist, sexist, ablist, etc. Can't watch them anymore.

Instead of rebooting a popular film or tv show, do it to a movie or show that didn’t do well and make it better.

There are plenty of movies that messed up good material that should be re done by someone who gets the source material.

Movies (in a theater setting) are going down. People are not being drawn in and packed in to a theater anymore.... COVID concerns, antisocial behavior, repulsed by inconsiderate disgusting rude behavior, not wanting to be part of the next mass shooting, too expensive, and the thing you're about to experience is NOT worth the money anyway..... The movie industry has claimed for years that they are out of original ideas. I say it's time has come and gone. Let it die. It's only a matter of time

Its all so fast as well. I mean, the old movies are slower, but the story is decent or really good. The new ones are fast, but very boring sometimes.

not necessarily "boring" but predictable. Like you know when the sex scene is comng, when the car chase is coming, when there's going to be a big explosion, etc etc.

People yammering for originality, but whenever someone does something different from the formulas people are used to they lose their minds and just spend months complaining. Studios are ina lose-lose situation there.

Too many people are risk averse with their money nowadays. they need some promise they'll get their admission worth.

Movies are quite tiresome, I basically just go look at the rating on IMDB and watch it if it scores over 6.5. In summary: American movie: Talking. More talking. Something bad happens. Car chase. Shoot out. Sneaking around. Talking. Sex scene. More car chases. VS European movie: Talking. Looking depressed. Smoking. More talking. Sex scene. Looking depressed.

He managed to destroy a base essential fact of the Trek universe in just one movie. I'm talking about trans warp teleportation making space ships obsolete. Plus the movie plot revolved around a never explained mc guffin. The red matter stuff. It was just there to explain a cool effect.

Bad dubbing/voice acting. I might cancel a otherwise good movie if the voices seem wrong.

Bad dubbing is sooo off putting. I walk out and ask for a refund.
