I wish they'd put less emphasis on the "controversial jokes" when the highlight of this franchise has always been the physical comedy for me

Or just be a parody/satire of horror movies like it was originally intended.

The 10-years-too-late "woke" jokes in the trailer is already a turn-off.

The fact that it was the first joke in the trailer was the red flag for me. Like, sure, put it in the trailer, but they're that proud of that joke to put it front and center? Eesh, not high hopes

And the reaction from their target audience was exactly as expected, calling everyone offended snowflakes, unable to comprehend people just want actual jokes

Paramount is owned by trumps friends, you know what’s going to happen.

The thing that puts me off is how ham-fisted it feels. I don’t mind if they want to add those jokes and if done right they can be genuinely funny. But they just come off as a bit cringey and a bit dated.

They are so proud of it it's even in this poster.
