'The Crow' reboot was 16 years in the making. It's finally out, and critics say it's 'tedious' and 'unfathomably awful.'(www.businessinsider.com)

i mean i could have told them it was going to suck based on the trailer, but they don’t consult me. crow was a 90s edgelord-porn. it was only ever decent at best. to reboot it well would take some major deviations and much better writing. the trailer made it obvious it did none of that.

Lol edgelord-porn. You’ve given me new descriptors.

I couldn’t stand even the previews for it in the 90’s…it just looked awful.

i watched the original, and it was ok, but the fandom around it that i recall was similar to the people that took Joaquin Phoenix’s or Heth Ledger’s Joker portrayals a bit too seriously and idolized it a bit too hard.
