Or... maybe it's ok if people think its a to long, try hard piece of shit. Trying hard at what? It's admittedly been a while since I've seen the movie, considering my disdain for it. But I think it tries to paint Kane as someone who lost his humanity to his wealth. And I just think it fails to fully drive that point home. Just my opinion tho. And if you love the movie, that's cool to.

It's the same thing people did with Cody, they get their jokes in before seeing that big money isn't being spent just for spite anymore, especially because Wrestler A's booking strength will make a difference on Wrestler B's level of interest down the line. Consider how Sting avoided signing with WWE for well over a decade, in part because TNA was easier money and were going to push him hard, anyway, but also because he saw what a shitshow the InVasion was for anybody short of like maybe Booker T. Booker was treated as a bit of a buffoon for a lot of it, but also got over and frankly, wasn't being treated THAT much better as a main eventer in WCW who was kind of a bland babyface champion who got regularly outsmarted or outgunned by Jarrett and Steiner. There is zero scenario where Kenny Omega doesn't get treated like the second coming in the WWE. I'm not saying he comes in and gets the belt off Roman in his debut match kind of booking, but pretty close. Paul Levesque (feels weird calling him that, but I guess that's what he goes by now officially) knows something Vince possibly knew, but was never going to accept: the days of WWE legends being used to pop a rating or a match or a Mania or whatever are pretty much done, so the surprises and big moments are going to have to come from things like Cody, an Omega, the Bucks, etc. On top of that, so-called "casual viewership" is diminishing rapidly in a world with such expanded entertainment options. Even so, I'm sure the casual viewer has no idea who Kenny Omega is, same as the casual viewer had no idea who Gargano is, but he's still going to be treated like a big, big deal. Oh, and if you don't think the OWA won't be treated like it could kill a cockroach... I'll take that bet, too. I'd say Kenny gets treated like AJ Styles. The biggest modern name to never work in WWE, well guess what? He's here now. And honestly the AJ trajectory is pretty damn great.

The character of Kane is not so subtly based on William Randolph Hearst. I think that bit of context is lost on a lot of modern audiences who know nothing about Hearst beyond being an ultra-rich newspaper magnate.

I was in my late teens early 20s when I finally watched it.

Just want to add, I love Citizen Kane.
I don’t love it much as Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2.
No apologies for my lack of culture. I’m gutter trash and damn proud.
