They don't just fuck users, they fuck their employees as well. How many writers' strikes have there been now? How much of an open secret was Weinstein raping and abusing actresses?

I hope the whole system dies, and maybe something better will take its place. I'm sure I won't miss Guardians of the Galaxy XXIV.

Is this because you thought GotG 1-3 were bad and they are just going to keep making more bad stuff, or because you thought GotG 1-3 were good but have pretty much wrapped up the story of those characters so it is now time to stop, or something else?

(not who you're asking, but I saw this negative and thought it deserves an answer)

It's a much wider criticism. Not a specific series... or even media.

There are perverse incentives between producer, actor, and consumer in entertainment and so many other things.

In this light, I'd argue piracy is moral by not providing support to a corrupt system. Or at least serves as a means to prevent such a state

Neither, Hollywood has been playing it so safe that they don't dare produce anything original any more, and it has become much more boring as a whole lately.

Indeed, GotG is really going to peak around volume 16.
