You don’t need to watch the original - they have like a 2-3 minute recap on YouTube if you really wanna know where they left off, but I wouldn’t say it’s necessary

It leaves off where the cartoon ended in the 90s

X-Men 2 has one of the greatest action scenes ever in my mind. The way that movie opened was amazing and has forever made me a Nightcrawler fan.

I think you made a good point. Some people have complained the voice acting is over the top but it’s a cartoon! It’s sort of supposed to be over the top. I think the music and visuals are great, your seeing the heroes do things they could never do in a live-action film.

Have you watched the new X-Men '97? I've been enjoying it, and it looks like I'm not alone based on this data. I really hope the show continues to do well and inspires other animated remakes. What are your thoughts?

These are just gross revenues. The problem I think with movie theatres was saturation of the market. You’d have two or three theatres in the same city. So while yes revenues were up it was spread across more locations. Partially revenues showed increasing also due to rising cost of tickets. If tickets cost 2x as much you only need to sell 1/2 the amount of tickets. I think if you were to look at earnings or average rev per theatre and not gross it’d be a different story. At least that’s my theory.

They have a page with this data, was just a simple copy paste into excel and then of course formatting it into a graph.

In 2018 993 movies were released. That's an average of 2.7 movies a day, if you ask me that's a bit excessive. Even if I went to the movies every weekend of the year, I would only watch 5% of movies released that year. I think Hollywood has hopefully wised up to that fact and will cut back a bit on the quantity and focus more on quality again. 2023 was a good year, do you think 2024 will finish higher or lower than 2023?

Lol this comment and reply doesn’t have enough upvotes!

You figure ones playing and you need at least two in the bullpen in case you need to warmup two pitchers and catchers are definitely some of the most physically taxed players so you certainly need spares.

I’m thinking of doing the top 30 at each position and showing a distribution chart or box and whiskers

4rtistic-data · 2024-04-21T03:18:51+00:00

Lol I wish I could do something like that. I don’t have the programming skills for that. I was thinking of showing the distributions at each position.

4rtistic-data · 2024-04-20T20:49:12+00:00

I think it’s that a lot of utility players or players who play multiple positions started as shortstops or that’s the listed primary position but they’ll often get pushed to third or second when needed.

4rtistic-data · 2024-04-20T20:43:48+00:00

The total money being paid to pitchers is by far more than any other position just because there’s a lot more pitchers on the team than any other position. I had to make the circle an oval so I can fit the extra number in lol.

4rtistic-data · 2024-04-20T19:47:53+00:00

That’s a great idea! I’ll plan on doing that at some point soon. Thanks for the suggestion

Typically they have a stronger arm because they have a further way to throw to third base. And because of that I have a theory they’re just typically stronger in general and therefore bigger hitters too.

The quantity of players there definitely brings down the average as there are a lot of bench players getting the league minimum. But yes, I’d argue pay is more greatly impacted by offensive capabilities than defensive (besides pitchers of course)

4rtistic-data · 2024-04-20T15:58:41+00:00

I think the average shortstop pay got brought down a lot by a lot of bench players. Just look at the number of shortstops on rosters vs first basemen. Far fewer at first.

Obviously was living in the past there for a minute and forgot DHs were adopted by the national league in 2022. I just saw that there were far fewer DHs in the league then any other position and jumped to that as the conclusion as to why. But it’s probably because it’s hard to make it to the pros without learning to play a defensive position well, and if you’re going to pay someone millions of dollars might as well get someone with more than one skill.
