"Hey, make one of them jumanjis!"
"What?"
"Make one of them jumanjis. You know, where the kids are playing a game, and then they're in the game? Just do one of those!"
"That's just transparently cheap."
"Just get one of those jumanji guys! so then it'll be a real jumanji"

Sometimes I think that when people spend a lot of free time in highly curated internet bubbles, they forget that they are vastly outnumbered by mainstream audiences who engage with entertainment or pop culture in an entirely different way.

Real! I 100% get the complaints, but at the same time, the target audience for this movie is clearly 7-12 year old kids and their clueless parents. One of the most lucrative demographics in existence.

i feel like people see cheap/cringy stuff as a kid, don't realize it was cheap/cringy at the time because they're kids, grow up to nostalgically revere that stuff, and then lose their minds at the kids media that comes out when they're adults
