The main draw of movie theatres was a better entertainment experience. A good movie on a large screen with excellent sound.
At my home I now have a 60" TV, surround sound speakers, comfortable couches and the ability to watch any movie/tv I want for free from pirate streaming sites. It’s better than any movie theater in my opinion.
The problem, there’s nothing I want to see. The vast majority of stuff produced due to the extreme consolidation in the film industry is absolutely trash. Lack of competition has led to film studios producing mediocre garbage in a never ending quest to make guaranteed money.
So my teenager uses the setup to play video games on.
This is my mini rant, but I hate Marvel movies because you cannot sit down and just watch one movie. You have to have seen the 37 most recent Marvel movies so you understand all the references that are otherwise never explained. For example, I recently watched Venom with my son. It was actually quite good. He wanted to see the second Venom movie. I looked up the name of the second movie and got it. After 10 minutes or so, I told him I think we must have accidentally gotten movie 3, because so much has obviously happened in the story since the last movie. We looked it up again, and nope, that was the second movie. I just needed to see every damn Marvel movie released between the first and the second. No more Marvel movies for me.
Oddly, Venom isn’t a movie made by Marvel, so it doesn’t tie into the MCU movies, or at least it didn’t until a cameo in the last Spider-Man movie. Not sure what part of Venom 2 you are talking about since I think I only watched that once back when it first released.
