What about actual purchases instead of rentals?
Is it even possible to truely purchase anything digital these days?
That was kind of my point. I’m pretty sure buying a movie physically is the only way to actually own it. Everything else is just a long term license rental.
Does the theater even get an actual reel anymore, or is it just an encrypted file server using an evil amount of proprietary software?

In short, the latter.
A movie written by a board of directors. They even did a 5 minute fuck you 20th Century Fox segment to drive home the point that they now have a monopoly on almost all comic book franchises ever created.
The most dystopian fact of all: The whole multiverse concept ends up being nothing more than the manifestation of legal trademark disputes as explained by comic book world-building.
Utterly devoid of creative flair, using cheap cameos and inside jokes as the fulcrum with which the whole movie hinges. 🥱
