Doesn't mean it was a great movie Patrick
When's the last time anyone said I feel like watching that captain marvel again?
These guys are starting to sound like a certain group of rap fans, artist x is better than artist y because he went platinum.
hmmmm....
OK now you getting into muddy waters.
I agree just because something is POPULAR doesn't equate to good
but you can then say just because a FEW people like it
that makes it DEEP or underground etc?
I think the point Captain Marvel fans are making is more about the power of the dollar
something we SHOUT DAILY FROM THE ROOFTOPS TO BLACK FOLK
our MONEY matters, our dollars MATTER
Captain Marvel Wonder Woman etc had a LARGE AUDIENCE who wanted this type of entertainment
doesn't make them wack or woke or whatever
this is what THEY want
Disney Marvel GAVE it to them.
They ate it up
That is BUSINESS
This is what we learning now (again) niche markets MATTER
A rap artist doesn't HAVE to go POP
If they create a loyal active fan base cater to THAT?
You can make serious money
same goes for podcasts, YouTube channels and even newsletters
Stressing the NUMBERS in these arguments at least to me?
Is to show that our PERSONAL OPINION is not the be all end all
that there is a LARGE VOCAL other side you gotta acknowledge
and in addition if THEY think its "good"?
By definition it is for THEM.
You KNOW who one of my favorite MCs is...
but a lot of dudes on here would not agree.
Does that make me WRONG?
And if that MC goes platinum does that NOW make him good?
so if he NEVER goes platinum he wack?
Popularity, relevance etc are now VERY tricky metrics.
