It’s not impossible, for sure. But if we’re going to call Rachel Dawes’s death (or that of. Black Widow, FFS) a fridging, then the term has all but no meaning, because it applies to just about every death of any character in any action or adventure film.

Sure, but there needs to be limits they run up against.  I’m not talking about arbitrary limits on income or something.  I just mean general rules and regulations about how income is created and categorized (for example, it’s ludicrous that capital gains are not counted as income the same way a dishwasher’s paycheck…

Rachel Dawes? No. She’s a love interest for Bruce in Batman Begins. You’d have to assume they had The Dark Knight plotted out already then, which I don’t think was true.

Bryan Cranston is also Bryan Cranston.  Rainn Wilson, talented though he may be, is not the same calibre actor.

“Never enough” is pretty crucial to ourselves as a species.  The problem is lately we haven’t balanced it out with the crowds that tell the outliers “that’s enough”.

Isn’t time a factor in this, though?  Alexandra DeWitt was only around for 5 or 6 issues before she was killed off and stuffed in the fridge.

Is Rachel really even a “fridging”? It’s not like she was introduced solely for the purpose of being killed off, and she’s around for a movie and a half. Plus, who is the fridging supposed to apply to? Because it has pretty equal effects on both Harvey Dent and Batman.

Pretty sure that’s why he’s here, because this site focuses on listicles and clickbait.  It USED to be about media criticism.

The business is the business. It might be stupid, but it’s not inaccurate. If Disney goes the whole year without a 1B hit, it’s going to be seen as a setback for them.

You have to keep in mind the business model, though. Disney doesn’t acquire films to distribute the way Netflix does. (Disney buys companies whole and swallows them, but they don’t really buy individual movies).

Exactly.  

This is comparing apples to oranges, to some degree, though, isn’t it? There’s a major difference in trying to release a film to theaters and dropping it on an in-house streaming service, not the least of which being the marketing costs.

A theatrical release requires a major marketing push.  A streaming service drop…

I feel like they snubbed Blues Brothers on another one of these lists recently.  Maybe they’re trying to avoid praising Landis at all?

Well, there you go.

Only if there’s a big bomb scheduled to explode basically as soon as the helicopter dropping the two of them off is clear.

I know it’s just a typo- and Kinja has no functional edit ability- but the image of being on a “peer” fishing makes me laugh.

Scruffy the Janitor, which Nilus was responding to in the comment you quoted: Doesn’t matter if it’s the worst movie ever made, what Disney are doing is shitty. If nothing else, for the cast and crew who now have essentially no record of what they probably spent months if not years working on.

Killa K also used “cast…

I didn’t say one of them was better.  I said the headline was shitty.

Doesn’t Murphy write most of those shows?  Glancing through IMDB, it looks like he’s got writing credit on at least a couple episodes of each season of AHS.

I know this is a troll account, but that’s a bullshit number. The typical Hollywood writer isn’t making anywhere near that “average” even if it is mathematically accurate when you take account of all the salaries across all the writers (which would include multi-million dollar deals of the very top).

It’s like saying…
