It’s all just a risk averse numbers game.

Popular stars, cool effects, well-known franchise, formulaic plot and structure = low risk, decent monetary reward for the studios.

Anything that deviates from that absolutely increases the risk without necessarily increasing the reward.

Me too, to be honest. I knew they were called rawlplugs but didn't know why!

... and you can bet someone's going to get a performance bonus for this. The whole point of restructuring is to increase profitability right now with no consideration for the future. Someone is going to hit their current year-end cost-savings targets by reducing jobs and closing stores then leverage that to get their next, higher-paid, job for a different company where they will do the same. Applause all round, job well done, isn't the increasing homeless problem annoying?

Generally called rawlplugs in the UK. Invented by John Rawlings who named his company Rawlplug. One of those tiny little inventions which is everywhere.

If I'm reading this right, by the time Trump is running for his 16th term he won't have been born yet.

... it’s about skeptical vs gullible.

Is it, though?
