Let’s make the internet weird.
I wasn’t a big fan of The Hobbit films (big money grab), but The Hobbit was literally a children’s book for Tolkien’s kids. That being said, I can’t say there was anything added “for the kiddies”. In terms of the LOTR films, I’m not sure what was there to appease kids that could be compared to anything Star Wars ever did. They weren’t a perfect adaptation of the books, but those movies still hold up and I wouldn’t let my young kids watch if.
A long vehicle (truck, SUV, some crossovers) is MUCH easier to park with precision by backing up in my opinion.
Arkansan here. Can confirm.
No one talks about if, but I think the underlying cause is feeding the capitalism machine. We have an aging workforce and people aren’t having kids at near the rate needed to replace them. If people won’t have kids they want, force them to have kids they don’t won’t. It’s fucked up, but I think there is some truth to it in addition to virtue signaling to their base.
It is really frustrating. I blame Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless. Kidding, but seriously. That style of commentary is absolute crap. Yelling is not an affective way to get your point across.
