>>>>A lot of them do.

>>>Here, have some examples of novelizations (both source material and "based on screenplay") where the exact phrase is used.

>>I clearly said a lot of them use the wording "now a major motion picture". You've thrown a pile of links at me to prove nothing.

>Those are called "sources." They're what people use to prove their point when someone tries to argue with them.

I see you've failed basic logic. Six cherry-picked images don't do anything to prove your point.

For you to prove your point, you would need a source that showed a vast majority of novelizations say "now a major motion picture" on the cover. You have provided no such source.

>So put up or shut up.

Okay, let's play stupid games. Maybe there's stupid prizes to be won.

Godzilla. The Dark Knight Rises. Suicide Squad. Interstellar. The Nice Guys. The Cabin in the Woods. Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Crimson Peak

The closest I came across while poking around was Star Trek (2009), which says "A major motion picture from Paramount Pictures".

Not one occurrence of your universal phrase in a pile of recent novelizations of popular works chosen semi-randomly from an Amazon search. Which solidly supports my point that it is "hardly 'every'". In fact, it appears to be even less common than I thought it was.

Now I'm fucking done. I can't believe I wasted time on this stupid argument.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but the major argument here is that it's way too popular, and therefore somehow bad?

I can understand the pacing. I don't agree with that argument, but it's an argument that could make or break a show.

But basing your opinion of something on how popular that thing is is ridiculous. "Oh, we can't go anywhere without seeing it!" Oh freaking well. The success of the advertising around the show is absolutely not connected to the good-ness or bad-ness of the show itself.

It's fine if you didn't like the show. Not every show is for every person. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's even fine if you did like the show, but aren't interested in watching it again. But allowing your opinion of the show to be swayed by the advertising around it--something that is, in all likelihood, not a choice that the creator can say yes or no to--just seems silly to me.

The show stands or falls by itself. The manga stands or falls by itself. The marketing stands or falls by itself. There have been plenty of great mangas that had horrible anime adaptations. Every other movie that comes out gets a poorly-written book about the plot (like the link below). Plenty of solid shows that have way overblown marketing.
