The horror film follows a "feral" Pooh and Piglet as they go on a slasher rampage after Christopher Robin abandons them.

This only became possible this year when the first Winnie The Pooh book entered public domain.

              tried to drive us out, bring in creatures from the woods downriver.

              Pooh isn't just volkisch, he's anti-immigrant and a believer in the Great Replacement conspiracy theory. Does the Hundred Acre Wood have Q, too?

          But you can see how the uneducated media consumer would see the two as similar and not have strong feelings about the differences tho?

            So because credulous consumers would mistake one for the other, that justifies Flanderizing every fantasy setting into a rusty bloody schlocky mess? :bugs-no:

                Why not skilled and masterful works to inspire people to something like it? That's driven the arts for basically forever. Not sure how much staying power shitty derivative works would have when it comes to motivating people.

                I mean, sometimes when I try to read a really bad novel, I feel motivated to do better, sure, but I wouldn't have started writing in the first place if I didn't have good novels to read to get me started.

                  Is that an option on the table? Under capitalism we kinda get what we get and it took alot of garbage to allow there to be capacity for intresting stuff to come out. How many dumb terrible movies allowed evil dead for example. As you said they have no real staying power so over any set period time they functionally don't exist so there isn't much longterm harm.

                    I'm a huge fan of Evil Dead/Army of Darkness, and that said, I have no good answer.

                      There is no answer. This is a fundamental contradiction we have found. We can just hope something good comes out of this. One of the directors who got a job because the industry was willing to try new people on low budget schlock ends up doing good art. That is the entirety od the 70s into the 80s so maybe we can do it again. That's be fun.

          Some grimdark enjoyers want grimdark everywhere. It's why these things are written, produced, and directed this way.

              I won't go that far myself, but to me it's still as annoying (at best) as some weed guy that wants to stick le weed into everything, no matter what.

                That doesn't particularly sound like a glowing endorsement of putting grimdark everywhere.

                That'd be like a rebooted Cosby Show where drugging and raping women is a central plot element.

                  It is not a glowing endorsement. People who are unironically grimdark heads are sus. In that there is such a places as the media landscape grimdark should exist in it though. By existing it gives people more freedom to explore ideas. We have been alienated from parts of our ability to craft narrative and we should be able to learn of it. Even if it mostly sucks though.

                  Ehh, a surpriseing ammount of his stuff is about that actually. There is an episode of the cosby show where he spikes bbq sauce with like spanish fly. It turns out he was never subtle.

                    By existing it gives people more freedom to explore ideas.

                    I disagree here, because what is made is what the producers want with some input from what the marketing department says will sell (based upon prior offerings), selling it into utterly banal redundancy until something new is tried that instead gets copied to death.

                    I don't think grimdark is in any danger of being wiped out by criticism. Far from it. If anything wipes out the grimdark fad, it will be oversaturation of itself until enough people are really, really tired of it and stop paying to see it in sufficient numbers.

                    A similar argument could be made that fanservice-laden creepy "loli" isekai/harem anime supposely "gives people more freedom to explore ideas" when the same ideas are pushed again and again by market forces pandering to hikkikomori and otaku that are the big spenders and buy the merch. Sure, sometimes a novelty can be squeezed in here and there but I don't see "more freedom" as much as gasps of creative license attempted within an increasingly cramped series of genre cliches.

                      I feel like erotic works are functionally diffrent than other works. You have some point, but I dont feel it is exactly applicable. However, at least of my cohort most people I know who had to figure out who they were got started with terrible fan fiction so there was infact a value to that being available.

                      I am trying to think of some clean example of outaider art pushing the overton window and allowing more viable products to have ideas in them. You are right since market intensification in movies that things have gotten just overall worse.

                        Since I brought it up already, I believe the glut of fanservice in mainstream big moneymaking anime/manga sort of leaps over the "erotic" line like a cresting tidal wave. It doesn't have to be ecchi/hentai at all but often it seems obligated have mandatory pantyshots and dubiously aged characters and waifu tropes, all to keep hitting the same buttons for the same big spenders.

                          And obviously that sucks. Capitlaism do be like that. And the market for titty harem anime existing being required to make the two good ones viable isn't worth the opportunity cost. But that kinda thing is going to exost no matter what and at least we get the two good ones out of the deal.

                          But yeah, there are a coupple of shows that I like that got fucked over by the fact that they could only aford art studios that only know how to draw ecchi art oe whatever

        Enchanted forests must always have grimdark elements. Always. Even in generations-old settings that never had them to begin with.

            It's not the only way to process it.

            Amphibia is quite recent, and rich sociopaths with god complexes are the main threat in the setting, but instead of doing the tried and true "everyone left alive for longer than a few episodes is a sociopathic asshole, also there's rust and grime on everything" formula, it's a colorful cartoon that dares to focus instead on nice people that mean well.

        It's the Hundred Acre Wood, which is not even that large. It's not enchanted, it's just a forest.

        I feel that Pooh didn't deserve this. But hey, internet sociopaths love this sort of shit. It just has that "Barney the dinosaur is the SPAWN OF SATAN!!!" chud vibe all over it.
