Full stop. It doesn't make sense because there's no narrative cohesion to any of this, and that's the point. The whole issue is the system at its core is rotten, and the fall out could potentially be huge. There's no way to organize a story around a bunch of anonymous retards who showed up with pocket lint and spare change to force the casino to shit its pants.

I used to finance movies for a hot second while working in the entertainment industry in a past life. I guarantee you every studio looked at this and wanted to dive into this story thinking they could have a Big Short type of hit on their hands, and more than likely they all passed once they saw the fuss die down a bit once the buy button was deleted. You can't sell this to anyone.

No documentary is going to do any of this justice, and any dramatization will require amalgam characters - how do you shoehorn the personality of millions of people into just a handful and make it compelling enough to build around? There's no reason to interview RC either because he'll never talk. The only people who are going to be open to even sharing any story about this will be the ones who sold in the runup, and the bitters who bought at 400 and decided to sell. What's the point of giving them more of a soapbox when the rest of us have no reason to defend our position? We bought into a company we believe in, or at the very least think will make us a lot of money personally. Both are great reasons, but there's never going to be a need to justify this to anyone.

The fact that a documentary already came out speaks more to the fact that the docu is a cash grab. The producers behind it have some pretty good work to build off of, and it doesn't seem like they're necessarily connected to anyone on the SHF / institutional side of things (make no mistake, institutions have film financing arms based in Hollywood). Quite frankly it would be hard to write a television series about this as well. Again, there's no narrative cohesion, and we have no climax or conclusion. It's been a drawn out saga that started in 2008. GME has just been a blip and a potential catalyst.

That said, it's not something I'd buy a ticket to but will probably end up "streaming" at some point in the future. Personally these types of projects shouldn't be getting returns through viewership because it's a fool's errand to try and portray this in any type of light. But then again, the attention span of the average person is short, so a flashy documentary they can watch on Netflix with minimal understanding might appeal to the baser mentality of people, and they'll come away with a skewed idea of what's really going on. It's sad.

We all want to wax poetic about the Big Short and how we're living in the 2.0 version of it, but even that had at least a core set of individuals. Do you think anyone would be able to study and put together a character profile on DFV? or RC? The hedge fund managers all jerk off to thoughts of being portrayed like they're on Billions, but the reality is even their lives don't have stories worth being told. They're all 100% on the wrong side of history quite frankly with their decades and decades of bullshit, so why even tell their story at all? They're always going to be the big bad from our POV - there's zero need to humanize them in any shape or form.

I don't know why RC tweeted the poster. Maybe he just thought of it as a way to acknowledge shareholders and to hold the line. Maybe he did it blindly because it was about GME, he was probably approached for it and turned it down, and then gave us a heads up that this is the narrative that's being built out there, but what do I know. I'm just a retard like the rest of you.
