    And the people who complain about wanting original films on the Internet are also dumb and refuse to seek them out or go see them in the theater.

      Nobody is saying original films don’t exist. People just want them to get the big budget treatment. We want Disney, Sony, and all the others to dump millions into high quality original content in addition to the plethora of smaller original films we currently consume.

        Lol, no they don’t. If they did they would support original films at the theater. The reason those films don’t get the treatment is because when they do, people don’t buy tickets.

          This is so weirdly adversarial. It can be true that the people that express their desire for original movies online do in fact go and see them in theaters, but that number is simply dwarfed by the number of people that only see movies with massive marketing budgets that only exist for established franchises.
