Comment on 5 Reasons Why Bill Skarsgard's The Crow Remake Bombed At The Box Office

I loved the original. But there is no doubt that both the movie and the original graphic novel were thematically “of the 90s”.
Goth, dark lighting, tortured hero, etc…
Basically a Marilyn Manson video.
The remake bombed for the same reason a 1950s beach movie would bomb. It doesn’t fit in the current world of pop culture.

I think we may be nearing that culture leak again. This movie may have ironically released a bit too early.
I see jncos and goth kids with skateboards all over right now. They look identical to my peer group growing up squarely in the mid-90’s. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this era crow merch flooding hot topic next year.

In time, maybe this movie will become some sort of cult classic.

Yeah, it’s wild to witness the embarrassments of my youth somehow coming back with a bang.
But it’s all subjective I suppose. I just hope we don’t do 80’s again
