TopicThis..this actually makes so much sense. Why unpaid internships exist.
TheDurinator

Unpaid internships are basically a very long interview with on-the-job training. Companies offering them benefit because they get free labor (duh), but the real benefit is seeing how the intern would actually be as an employee, which helps with retention and hiring good candidates. The hiring hamster wheel is real, which is why lots of internships end with job offers.

The post in the OP is completely backwards, rich kids don't do unpaid internships, they simply get the job through connections. Unpaid internships are a way for non-rich kids to get a foot in the door, even if they aren't getting paid to do it. Even if they don't get a job offer, they get the experience that any hiring manager will want to see on a resume.

Gunn is a good director so it'll at least be decent, but there is way too much going on in this movie. It feels like it's falling into the same hole DCEU fell into by rushing into the team up and doomsday in only the 2nd movie.

It's also too dark, but not as dark as Man of Steel of course.
