According to box office mojo…was this movie even released?!?
Thor is Marvel, a Big Freaking Brand Name. That also covers Guardian of the Galaxy.

Who knows what they expected. What attracts live viewing is different from what attracts signups. Showtime is in the same boat as everyone else, trying to figure out how to survive in the new world of streaming. They found out something valuable here: Twin Peaks gets subscriptions. What's the lesson, re-make more…
If you want Showtime to imitate Netflix and Amazon and expand overseas, just wait. I'm sure that's in the cards for anyone who can pull it off. But you're expecting them to put the cart before the horse here.

Retaining existing subscribers is the second hardest, and good ratings might indicate you're doing that, but getting brand new people into the…
It's already make 2x as much money in foreign box office compared with domestic. Usually it takes a bit of time for foreign to catch up. Yeah this one is mainly made for the foreign audience. They probably knew all along Americans wouldn't watch which is why people are saying "bad marketing" because they didn't see…
Not reacting would not make them vanish. They would just keep trying. What else do they have?
The scientology gag was the best part of the episode.
Except she's old enough to be his big sister so no problemo.
In real life, Death Castle would be a flop or at best a cult hit.
