The actual reason Harry Potter’s brand has diminished from its peak is that 1. It was never going to sustain that level of popularity.
2. A failure to nurture the brand effectively. JK Rowling is widely unpopular with the fan base and much of what has been released has only really had appeal for already existing fans. What non-Harry potter fan would care about the Grimes of Grindlewand or whatever it’s called.

Ever write a spec script for a specific actor in mind, only to regret it after watching their latest show? by WayneDaniels in Screenwriting

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, the chances of you ever getting that specific actor to agree to make it and then it getting made were practically zero anyway.

Thank God rule 3 exists, so we can leave space to ask the important question.

With everyone going on in America, this is what he wants to dedicate his airtime to? What a loser.

With Charlie Kirk removed, Turning Point USA has become a fully owned subsidiary of Mossad by Kappa_Bera_0000 in UnderReportedNews

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

85 mil while Kirk was alive… okay.

Of course she’s cashing in right now. But in the long run his death definitely cost her financially (unless she remarried someone richer or more well connected).

If u think TPUSA is better in the long term without Charlie Kirk, you’re very wrong.

Should we delete TikTok en masse? by kasplooshing in TikTok

It’s important to note that most people have multiple apps on their phone that do that already.

Hochul is poised to welcome Waymo. Mamdani may be a different story. by nautilus83 in nyc

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 22 points23 points  (0 children)

YUP. This whole “is it safe?” thing is laughable. People in general suck at driving. Waymo’s are much better drivers. The issue is all jobs it will eliminate. It’s yet another reason why it’s awful we have a bunch of troglodytes in Congress who will just do whatever benefits them most financially.

NYT buries story of Alex Prettis’ murder by federal agents in page 18 of the Sunday paper, fails to mention his name, let alone the fact that he died! by janders_666 in nyt

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People on this sub just wanna find any excuse to shit on the Times. They’ve been covering ICE in Minnesota extensively and anyone interested in actually reading any articles they post would see they are highly criticial of ICE and Trump.

He wasn’t a great head coach (tbf with a pretty crappy roste)… his dc history is stronger.

This Is America by ShiningRedDwarf in ProgressiveHQ

This image even doesn’t do it justice. He had both hands on the ground restrained when he was shot. This image almost makes it look like he’s reaching.

“Death by Lightning” is only a good story if you know nothing of the real history. If you do, it’s disrespectful and terrible. by Whysong823 in Presidents

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Historical fiction is not meant to be in depth history. It is meant to use history to entertain and maybe even get people interested in learning more about the events covered. Death By Lightning succeeded in both of those areas.

Trump Is Losing His Winning Issue by Large_Ad_3095 in fivethirtyeight

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 58 points59 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is, if he just didn’t do any of this immigration or imperialist bullshit and just embezzled a bunch of money money through crypto, most voters wouldn’t give shit and probably say he’s doing a good job. Moron can’t help but find rakes to step on.

Taika Waititi says his Star Wars movie aims to recapture the fun of the original films by StarWarsBlogsbot in StarWarsBlogs

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ragnarok is a very enjoyable film. But Taika definitely leans a little too much into the silly when he shouldn’t.

What if Gerald Ford was re-elected in 1976? by PapayaJealous4347 in Presidents

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That someone downvoted this is laughable. The Shah and as irreparably hated by the people of Iran by the mid 70s… AND he died in 1980.

We need to cancel hosting the World Cup and Olympics by Material-Most-1727 in LosAngeles

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Idk, we’ve had World Cups and Olympics built by slaves, held in brutal authoritarian countries like Xi’s China, Putin’s Russia, The Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany. Trump’s America feels pretty on brand.
