I'm also not getting notifications. Ah well. Anyway, like it or not the creators have an executive producer credit on the movie. Seeing it tied to an expensive movie that goes nowhere is not going to do them any favors on future projects. Profit is the only thing that studios will see, nothing else.
Yes, the crowing about the movie being bad is kind of odd. You can discuss the racism but I sort of get the feeling that the triumph in the bad reviews is more because of how unlike the source material it is. That if he'd followed it more closely it would be successful (which there is obviously no guarantee of that). I'm still fascinated with debating how a mostly white voice acting cast of non-white characters is inherently any more or less racist than a mostly white cast of a movie without it devolving into NO U!
I already have my little bottle of pre made margarita on my shelf that I bought just to see this movie.
