Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

When an original movie or property comes out, nobody goes to watch it. The people complaining about the lack of originality certainly don’t go watch. The last half dozen original movies that Disney has released have bombed, regardless of good ratings. People are paying to see remakes and reboots, which is why they keep making them.
Nobody who complains actually goes to support the original films
Indeed, much of enshittification can be blamed on the corporations, but this one is definitely the consumer's fault.
Just last year, I went to a new, original movie called Juror #2. It looked great in the trailer, and I was not disappointed! At least, not by the movie. I was disappointed by the fact that there were only like 20/30 people in the room to watch it. And this was only a week after it came out! Meanwhile, Gladiator II had a fully booked and bigger room.
'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina' was probably my favourite movie this year and there were only like 10 other people in the theater on release night, which is suprising for such a good action flick from a popular franchise.
