Netflix, you have been doing really well for the past few years. You've had some great
original series; House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and a great show with
Chelsea, but today I can’t help but notice you have been dropping the ball and
letting Hollywood play you for fools. Buying meh movies for big money is a
problem.
If you
noticed the cover of this article has a poor done CGI Woody Woodpecker on it.
No, its not fan art, sadly it’s one of the streaming services recently added
movies. These ten-million-dollar crap jobs are not even good enough to keep
kids distracted in my opinion. Not worth the keystrokes to even review. I hope
they did spend too much money acquiring this cause it’s not worth it.
The Cloverfield Paradox was Netflix shooting itself in the foot. The
other two films in the franchise were mysterious and excellent. They were also
great from a business aspect with low budgets but and big profits. This
franchise is from Paramount and something went wrong cause they did not want to
release it in theaters. Netflix bought it for fifty million dollars and since
it costs forty-five million to make so Paramount walks away up five million.
Meanwhile Netflix goes “Balls Deep” into a super bowl ad telling viewers it
will be available after the game. Ad time during the big game was five million
for thirty seconds, and the trailer was a minute long. The film was mediocre.
But, in comparison to the other two films, it was an insult. It’s obvious that
this was an entirely different film that was changed with re-shoots to make it
a Cloverfield movie. It seems like they sold out views for substance.
Remember Reboot?
CGI show ran from 1994 to 2002 and was way ahead of its time in visuals for a
Saturday morning cartoon. When there was talk to reboot I was very excited.
Then I saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8B5dqjsZUs
What the
hell is this? What’s with all the live action crap? The Show was about the
world inside the computer and the characters were programs. Now you got what...
sounds
like a superhuman samurai cyber squad. Did you see Megabyte? How do we get into
the future and make things looks worse?
He looks
better in 1994 than he does in 2018. Stop pissing on my memories Netflix
Maybe I'm just noticing a few flaws maybe it's a fluke. I mean there are
still some great originals coming out. Altered Carbon is a great crime Noire in
the 30th century and Everything Sucks is hilarious. Plus, I'm still looking
forward to the return of other great shows. I just need Netflix to stop messing
up. I still haven't forgot what y'all did to Deathnote tho. Stop messing up
Netflix.
