the correct takeaway is not “more Mattel toy movies” or “more Barbie sequels” it’s “let Greta Gerwig make whatever she wants”
“two original films that were not part of a preexisting cinematic universe opened simultaneously and blew the roof off the building because everyone was so excited for something new let’s greenlight a bunch of sequels to show we’ve learned nothing”
@clairewillett And also "pay your writers and actors!"
@clairewillett Greta Gerwig. Let her make whatever she wants
@clairewillett Gonna buy my sons a complete Narnia collection for real
@clairewillett It makes me.sad thst WB didn't let Gareth Evans make his deathstroke movie after they got spooked post bvs. That director with that IP is just such a good idea.
@clairewillett I had a hot dog tasted real good then I watched a movie from Hollywood
@clairewillett With a polite request that she make the talk show rounds to promote every movie she makes. Because Greta Gerwig is as delightful and charming a person as she is a talented movie maker. PS - Wonderful actress, too!
@clairewillett I get why folks are concerned (and they should be) but Hasbro has made some success of it. Transformers has fallen off but the first few movies were box office hits. GI Joe, Ouija, Battleship, Power Rangers, Jem and the Holograms, D&D...Not all bangers but I've been entertained.
@clairewillett That’s not the takeaway they will take away. Unfortunately.
