This seems like a completely baseless and hyperbolic take gleaned from a single screenshot of a YouTube comment. While I'm sure there are people who only watch critical takes on things (I've done it before myself), it's a crazy extrapolation to say that "movie fans have regressed to this". Maybe some people are kind of attached to a given franchise but don't like the current direction, so they keep tabs on it but don't watch themselves right now. Maybe others don't watch critics at all. This just feels like fishing for doom where none exists. /rant
