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.

    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:

        No, but a boorish freshmen attempt is how people learn to do it better.

          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.
