Movie, TV, Web Series, and Music Hot Take(s).

[Thaluikhain]

Things tend to get better the more bad imitators or sequels there are. People didn't like the Star Wars prequels until the sequels came out, people have complaints about the LotR films until the Hobbit films came out, then complaints about that until RoP. Bad 80's action movies aren't so bad now there's so many bad modern ones, etc.

That's nothing new nor a hot take. It's called vindicated by history or appreciating what was there to begin with. A lot of the action I liked watching from the 80s and 90s I never even call bad in the first place. They've aged far better than a lot of those action films that came out during the mid 2000s to mid 2010s, where most were all trying to copy the Bourne Supremacy. With all those quick cuts and shaky cam nonsense. Most people don't even want to look at again. I'm glad it's not an unpopular opinion.
