1 month agoI remember when Whatsapp started taking off here in Europe. Everyone was like “you can text for free now, even send media, it all just works over the internet.” And I always said “well isn’t it just the same as email? Your smartphone can do that anyway, what do you need WA for?” and I still kinda feel like that.
the thing is, most people don’t. Movie buffs are a minority, the casual viewers flock to what they know, which is exactly why there are only sequels and reboots. It wouldn’t be like that if it wasn’t making them tons of money.
