Try to coming up with a list of competitors.

Folks, I implore you to just research this out a bit. It's been happening while you weren't looking and weren't caring. Go to your theater this weekend and you'll see how much obsession this thing has created. It's not what you think it is or what you want it to be. And it should speak volumes that *I* am the one saying this. I can't stand the shit but that doesn't mean I'm not in awe of what has been accomplished here in such a short period.

You're arguing against a point that no one's making. There's not one person that hasn't conceeded that this has been a huge money maker. - Reagen Nov 19, 15:08 7
- Dude, he asked if it had a Darth Vader character. It does. Arguably, it has two since the werewolf is much beloved. - David Nov 19, 15:11 6
  - But to become a lasting cultural legacy, you need that secondary reenforcement. Witness Dan Brown and the fall off from Da Vinci Code. - Reagen Nov 19, 15:18 1
    - We're four books in and the series has concluded on Twilight, so I don't see your point. -- nm - David Nov 19, 15:19
  - Transformers in 15 years is a 200mil dollar opener in 6 days and not much else. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 15:14 3
    - It's the #9 film of all time. How is that anything but exemplary? -- nm - David Nov 19, 15:16 2
      - You're confusing short-term exemplary with long-term IMPORTANT. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 15:19 1
        
        Toy sales are toy sales. Important is a funny word to use in lieu of lucky, which is the point to all of this. - David Nov 19, 15:23
