Master-baiters of the universe

This is a two-panel sarcastic meme using a clip from *The Eric Andre Show*. In the first panel, the character labeled 'Hollywood' (played by Eric Andre) shoots a man slumped in an armchair labeled 'a good movie franchise', with adjacent text explaining the action is 'Puts Jared Leto in it'. In the second panel, the 'Hollywood' character stands next to the dead body of the franchise looking confused, with text asking 'Why do ours movies keep failing'. The joke mocks Hollywood's habit of casting Jared Leto in well-loved movie franchises, a choice widely criticized by audiences for leading to poor commercial and critical performance, while Hollywood executives act oblivious to their own bad decisions causing franchise failures.
