I believe the future of Puerto Rican cinema lies in taking risks: telling different stories, seeking international spaces, and not waiting for the same gatekeepers to give us permission.

Cinema here isn’t dead, there’s plenty of talent in writers, actors, and cinematographers. What’s missing is openness, real collaboration, and a desire to break out of the bubble. Puerto Rico has powerful, universal stories to tell, but if we stay stuck in the same circle, we’ll never export them.

The most frustrating part is the ego: too many act like gatekeepers, as if they were Warner Bros., when in reality what we have is a small, limited ecosystem that should be opening doors to new voices instead of closing in on the same clique.

Yes, films are made. Some are very good. But most never go beyond a small local festival or a screening at Fine Arts with twenty people. There’s no distribution, no career plan, no long-term vision.

People always talk about “the Puerto Rican film industry,” but the truth is it doesn’t really exist. What we have are isolated groups, dependent on grants and funds that pop up every couple of years, and a closed circle of people recycling the same names, the same themes, and the same styles.

7/7 At least Sony’s Crunchyroll works, promotes anime properly, and gives fans access. Netflix delays. Disney hides. Stop targeting Sony alone—if you’re worried about monopolies, look at the whole picture. Thoughts?

6/7 Let’s be real: Netflix, Disney, and Sony are all consolidating content. But only Sony gets heat while Netflix delays and Disney ignores their anime catalog. If we’re going to worry about monopolies, let’s call out everyone, not just Sony.

5/7 The fear of Sony “monopolizing” anime is selective outrage. Netflix locks titles, Disney buries them, but Sony invests in better access, consistent releases, and a functional platform. Who’s really doing harm to the industry here?

4/7 Disney earns $82B a year (vs. Sony Pictures at $12B). If they wanted, they could dominate anime overnight. Netflix already invests millions into exclusives, limiting competition. Yet, Sony’s the one being called out? Why not call out Netflix and Disney too?

3/7 Crunchyroll is far from perfect, but it works. Sony ensures global access, simulcasts, and consistent promotion. Compare that to Disney, which buries anime exclusives with zero marketing. Fans wouldn’t even know Summertime Render existed without digging.

2/7 Netflix locks anime exclusives (JoJo, Edgerunners) and delays simulcasts (Shaman King). Disney? Bleach TYBW and Summertime Render exclusives took forever to stream globally. Imagine the outrage if Sony fumbled like that. But they didn’t, and won’t.

1/7 Everyone’s worried about Sony buying Kadokawa and claiming it’ll create a near-monopoly in anime. But Netflix and Disney are doing the same with exclusives, and no one bats an eye. Difference is, at least Sony’s platforms work. Let’s break this down.

“Is Sony Really the Villain of Anime?” Everyone’s panicking about Sony buying Kadokawa, claiming it’ll monopolize anime. But Netflix delays releases, Disney buries exclusives, and no one complains. At least Sony’s Crunchyroll works. Let’s break this down. 🧵 #Anime #Sony #Netflix #DisneyPlus

As a man myself, I see many young men leaning right, claiming women call them "toxic" to excuse their actions. In reality, it's often a way to avoid accountability for being misogynistic or simply disrespectful. They play the victim instead of reflecting and growing, which only deepens the divide.
