I’ve also been noticing this — it’s not *just* comics, but I am of course more sharply aware of the decline in buzz for comics

When I saw someone posting about Power Fantasy earlier, I was like “Damn, this is how you know the book is a scorcher: someone actually talked about it”

Speaking about hope for the medium:

What are y’all reading these days?

Was talking with someone about how nobody seems to really *talk* about comics anymore, which is kinda strangling creator-owned titles, which rely on word of mouth to work. So might as well give this a shot.

The Princess Formerly Known As Prince @nataliereed84.bsky.social · 1d

Yesterday I saw kids in a comic store. Kids! In a comic store! Excited about *Superman*! There is hope yet for the medium.

Close up of the Batman in which we see his head, his face looking towards the upper left of the panel and his cape draped over his left side. Narration: “He stops. Listens. But it’s nothing. Only the night. And the night is dark. The night is mine.“

This isn't rocket science, Hollywood. When you make movies for Gen Z & Alpha, they pay to see them. FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S opened to $80M WITH a day & date streaming release on Peacock. When you make movies for their dads, those dads have a choice between the theater or their bitchin' home theater.

I'm perplexed at watching pundits in the trades struggling to explain Tron Ares' disappointing opening.

Was it covid? Do people just not like science fiction? etc. etc.

The main reason is pretty obvious: Tron isn't a popular franchise. Nobody's interested in nostalgia for a failed 1980s project.

The profound inhumanity and sadistic violence of the Trump regime is only outweighed by the incredible bravery, compassion, and basic decency of the everyday people who are risking everything to defy Fascism, and protect their neighbours.

It's a time of monsters, yes, but also Heroes.

We are in a time of frightening darkness but people are still stepping up and doing the right thing.
We must keep kicking at the authoritarian darkness until it bleeds daylight.

Why Predictable Box Office Bombs Like 'Tron: Ares' Hurt Everyone

Theaters are forced to subsist with inferior IP leftovers, while studios get to blame “Nobody goes to the movies!” and/or “Go woke, go broke” for predictable flops.
