Plenty of us watch garbage on Netflix since it’s “free”

Pretty sure it flopped because it was shit.

The script was terrible, nothing actually happened, and everything seemed like a set up for another movie that nobody was interested in watching rather than being a stand along film that would draw people back.

It flopped because it sucked, made no sense and had shitty acting and ADR. 😂. Please be serious.

I’m MCUed out, I have no desire to watch anything with the characters I know and even less desire to watch movies about characters I have no idea who is… and then you go around casting unlikables like Jared Leto and Dakota Johnson… yeah, hard pass fuckers!
