Everyone says they want a fully new IP and blah blah blah

But how many people then immediately jump to say that they'll wait for season 2 (or 5, because god forbid it gets cancelled) before they watch? Or that they'll wait for it to hit netflix (who actually ARE doing a lot of new IPs).

Like, I fully admit I am part of the problem. I slept on Warrior until Season 2 had aired and then realized it was literally my dream show (a show with really good choreography, amazing action actors, gratuitous nudity, a really nuanced approach to racism against Asian Americans, and all based on the philosophies of Bruce Lee) and now have to acknowledge it is never getting a Season 4

But also? You need something REAL good to get me to give a damn about a new movie. Either a ridiculously solid actor (still gonna watch the new Gareth Edwards movie even if I hear it is mid) or for it to be tied to something I know I like.

I never do that, and anyone who does is really overthinking how the TV box works. You just watch the shit if you think it's interesting and you feel like it. There's no "investment" there to worry about. If the show gets cancelled, then that sucks, but it was just a TV show. There are many others to move on to for your time wastage.

Out of curiosity what do you feel when you finish a book?

There absolutely is an emotional investment in a show that I find interesting. If that show ends before it completes its story it does annoy me and is a drag on starting something new.

But instead they're making a new version of The Crow.

Too bad because Boomers and X love that shit.

Edit: Wah wah boo hoo your generation is middle aged and buying stuff little old you doesn't like because you're extra special. Has no baring on reality. Gen X is America's largest consumer group. Get over it.
