Stop repeating right wing talking points

It’s not a right wing talking point necessarily. I’m on the left and there’s valid arguments as to how Hollywood producers interpret social media reactions as a negative effect on their products. A larger problem is the death of the mid budget film in the mainstream. The only things making money now are cheap horror films or massive blockbusters. That being said, the perceived shifts in culture are influencing producers decisions. Bill Burr recently talked about this. He’s said he’s talked to Hollywood guys and they’re literally scared. The right certainty over exaggerates this, but there is really reductive moralistic reactions plaguing a lot of modern film criticism.

give me few examples?

The MCU killed it actually.

worst type of comedy aka mcu - i agree

Mgk had the last stoner comedy in recent memory

I hate when people say “woke” culture killed comedy like if you can’t be funny without being racist or homophobic ur probably not that funny to begin with

It's not even being racist or homophobic. You get people who hop on social media to be outraged over ANYthing

They'd probably criticize Superbad if it dropped today. "I can't believe they made a movie about teenagers trying to get girls drunk so they could have s***with them. #SethRogenIsOver"

this

🙄 not even close, pal.

Comedy is dead because people are afraid to make jokes.

21/22 Jump Street
Neighbors

Basically all the memorable 2010s comedies

But some great comedy specials just came out

There were multiple articles, videos, and essays about that exact thing. S*** like “Superbad promotes rape culture”. If people don’t think that sort of criticism becoming more prominent in the last decade didn’t have an influence on Hollywood producers than they’re delusional.

This hasn’t happened in at least 5 years. Last time Social media had that much power was when they canceled the Confederate show on HBO.

Tell me which specials you've liked this year. Genuinely excited to hear this.

You tryna put him to sleep

This is the fake Mac Miller film that his estate denounced

Never said this year. The past few years they have been consistently coming out

a combination of things killed it.

Name emmmmm

This Is the End was a good one too

Interview
Night Before
Good Boys

Rogen carried that decade on his back

Equanimity, Bird Revelation & Sticks and Stones
Live in Austin
2017, Sincerely and Sorry
Whenever the next Chris Rock one comes out

I'd argue that, outside of Shane's (only cuz hes new), everything that all of those comedians put out this year isn't as good as anything they've done 2-3 specials ago.

Not what you said. You said people were afraid to joke, period. Not that they weren’t doing it well.
