    I always found this a bit funny. People complain about over-saturation of superhero movies, do you know how many goddamn Spider-Man movies would come out if it were free domain?

      Yeah. It’s easy and fun to dunk on slop, so I get it, but I just like seeing this stuff blended together because it’s what I think should be happening with everything. Remixing is good.

          I think everything should be available to be remixed by artists. It’s a part of the creative process that is currently severely restricted by capitalism.

          Again, being really general here, but copyright cuts off / restricts one of the ways culture can process the synthesis of a concept or theme.

          This shitpost of a movie with Ryan Reynolds is interesting to use as an example because it’s so blatant and clunky. I thought the movie was fun for what it was, which is a popcorn flick starting a snarky hot guy.
