@thisislieven@c.im @jonathanreed@techhub.social @BenRiceM@mastodon.social I recommend checking out the top grossing movies for last year. It's almost entirely sequels, reboots, remakes at this point. I'm talking 18/20 of the top movies last year. And one of the two that wasn't was the fucking Minecraft movie. If you go back over the past few years it's been the same pattern for over a decade. I wonder sometimes if we're not thinking enough about the connection between that and politics. Like is it surprising we end up with backwards facing right wing political movements if all our culture is backwards facing, retelling the same old stories from decades ago. Meanwhile the biggest movie this year is an adaptation of a story from almost 3000 years ago

@thisislieven@c.im @jonathanreed@techhub.social @BenRiceM@mastodon.social there's a theory that jkr wants this series so that people stop connecting her work and the members of the movie cast who have spoken against her
