What's the first sign you can remember that TV/Movies were going down the shitter?

It came in waves. When people were saying we were living in the golden age of television because of Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy, The Walking Dead, etc. When I first seen the Avengers in I think 2008, thought it was kind of entertaining, but otherwise garbage, only to realize everyone else was being a total fag about it. The Force Awakens being an awful rehash, my soy friends being redditfags and seeing it in theaters over and over again made me want to kill myself. Fuckin fags.

When Ford Vs Ferrari came out, and the Top Gun Maverick, I kept reading articles about the return on "Dad Cinema" and I was just thinking about how long it had been since there was a movie specifically aimed at my interests and it had been so long. Heaven forbid you make something that half the country would want to watch

I'm barely exposed to advertising anymore so I have no idea what's on and therefore have no idea if any of it's good or bad. Like there could well be some amazing content right now and I bet a lot of people wouldn't notice at all.

I was at an elderly relative's house awhile ago and did you know the networks still make primetime sitcoms? Like with laugh tracks and theme songs and shit? I was stunned. There's a whole other invisible world at 8pm eastern.

Was there ever really a good sitcom besides Married With Children? I never watched Cheers or Frasier but they seem like they were "great" because nothing else was on back then.
The Nanny is still hilarious just with the cast constantly shitting on the blonde lady constantly calling fat, old, and ugly.

Movies started to go to shit after the second Transformers movie came out. I have no idea when that was.

Everyone is creaming over the Batman right now, completely ignoring that it's the only decent movie that has come out in a long while.

The sitcom format is what killed television, and that all goes back to the 70s, and 60s in some regards. Some of those shows are just as cringe as anything today.

Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band The Movie.

The Gibbs' acting is more rigid than Norton's wife's Viking cock, and Peter Frampton should've been pistol whipped for agreeing to star in it.

Universal thought it would be that generations Gone With The Wind, and there is no other statement from the last 50 years has ever demonstrated more to me just how monumentally fucking stupid Hollywood executives truly are.

Because that's the era when IP began to transcend the importance of an actors name, a Directors eye, and the quality of the story.

You had the Dark Knight explode, then Iron Man, and Transformers would kill overseas. Suddenly little films just stopped getting noticed - they're still out there, but streaming services became what used to be your local Blockbuster over there. You're bombarded with Andy Sidaris-level shit to "fill the shelf", and you're forced to really look to find a gem like "Polar" (fuck you, I like Mads Mikkelsen), a film that would never get a wide release.

I'm starting to see the pendulum swing back though ("Ugh, why'd ya do it, Steve?"), so maybe we'll see the studios go small to save their money bleeding asses. It'll never be like the early 70's again though.

This is mostly kike lies. They lie about how successful these goyslop movies are with new metrics like "critic scores" or "first week box office". Instead of simply showing how many tickets were actually sold and how many people showed up to the theater. And often times their "ticket sold" are like Sirius's subscription numbers where they just hand out free tickets and count them as sales.

- Avatar did 331 million tickets worldwide.
- Jaws 243 million worldwide.
- The Birth of a Nation did 171 million tickets sold in just the United States in 1915 when there were barely any movie theaters.
- Barbie 151 million worldwide with nonstop promotion.
- The Godfather 128 million in just the U.S. and England.
- The Dark Knight 116 million tickets worldwide.

Birth of a Nation kept being shown in theaters into the 1950s and surpassed 200 million tickets sold. Faggy comic movies never transcended anything. They are mass marketed goyslop and degenerate trash. Their popularity is unearned and false.

Jaws was one of the first movies to start the summer Blockbuster bullshit that permeates to this day. I don't have much love for Jaws, and I'm sure that's blasphemy to a lot of you lads here.

I credit Avatar for being an original property, but by no means would I call it an original idea. Philosophical and environmental planetary science fiction goes all the way back to Forbidden Planet, which itself is a ripoff of The Tempest. And if you remove the planetary allegory, you can see hints of Metropolis in there, too.

I'm not going to get into the Jewish argument otherwise, for me it's about the quality drop, and that's where I noticed it happen. It wasn't that paedo Bryan Singers X-Men, or even Raimi's Spider-Man, 2008 was the origin point for me.
