[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8409797, member: 6704184"] Again, I didn't say profit is a reliable indicator, a few of them are quite good, yeah. Of course, some folks snobbishly try to restrict the term "good" to only refer to those things which meet some academic standard of artistic integrity or whatever nonsense, but that's all BS. Good art is just art which successfully affects an audience, especially when the effect is the intended effect. Though of course, some art becomes good by accident, having failed at it's intent but nontheless creating enormous and meaningful impact upon the audience in some unforseen manner. And no, popularity cannot be cost efficiency, and brand recognition and snowballing hype are extremely unlikely. They'll make money, but they won't generate popularity, unless you're defining popularity to include flash in the pan hype that is immediately forgotten, in which case plenty of stuff is "popular" before it is even released, making the definition entirely useless and thus false.
