It’s strange.

Thank you, Blaze.

To everyone else here, it’s been an honor to be a part of this community.

This feels like an xkcd comic. Was this inspired by a specific one?

The Rocketeer (1991).

Timothy Dalton.

Live-action remake.

ohhh it sold lots so it must mean it’s good

That has never been true at all. Good movies can flop at the box office, and mediocre or outright bad movies can make $1 billion. Your last paragraph is 100% correct. Box office is a measure of popularity, not quality.

How is what a movie makes matter to the audience?

It means we will get similar movies like this one, for example.

When you buy a movie ticket, you are casting your vote for that movie. You’re sending a message to the studio that says, “Yes, we want more films like this.”

The message to take away here is, if people want to see more original, quality-driven movies (and not endless IP-driven sequels and remakes), then they need to go support them at the cinema.

First we mine, then we craft.

screw their crypto bro dictatorship

I wasn’t aware of any crypto bro dictatorship in Argentina, did you possibly have it confused with El Salvador?

Where there’s smoke, they pinch back.

We always appreciate The Onion here. It can stay.

This thread is about the 2025 live-action remake that released today. Did you mean to talk about that one, or the original 2002 animated version?

Her husband isn’t white?

I never would have known if she hadn’t pointed out, since this comic is monochrome.

The children yearn for the mines.

Wow, I just realized the joke works two ways: “despite your directions” could also mean that OP didn’t post an instance-neutral link.

Well, @[email protected], I made it, despite your directions.
