What’s really crazy to me is with movies like that that get drug through the social media culture war bullshit, all the people arguing about “how they should have made the movie” never seem to realize that they don’t get a choice about how anybody makes their movie. The movie-makers choose how they make their own movies, not the culture warriors or critics.
People should really back off and shut up about it all. “They should have done this, and the ending was all wrong” and so on. We don’t get a say in any of that. We just get to view the art that artists have created, and you can like it or not like it. That’s it.

Some do and some don’t. Some filmmakers even choose to self-fund and make their movies however they want.

Those are in the minority or religated to low budget arthouse films.

So people shouldn’t be allowed to talk about movies they don’t like?

Is that what I said? Nope, read it again.
The general point was the public’s perceived entitlement that their opinion matters in how movies are made, while they are not involved in any of those decisions in reality.

If people are paying money for movie tickets, they are purchasing a product. Yes, their opinion on a product they paid hard earned money for matters.
If admission to a movie were free, then I might agree with you. But if people are paying for something, then it’s a product. If anything it’s Hollywood assholes that have a screwed up sense of entitlement in this scenario. It’s just another instance of wealthy people not appreciating the people who buy their products.
