Why Its Mountain Rises

  1. They have an amazing opening logo (the mountain), which evolved greatly throughout the years.
  2. During the many films made by them, there is great acting.
  3. They managed to create many great movies and franchises like Friday the 13th, The Godfather, Forrest Gump, Indiana Jones, Top Gun, Jimmy Neutron (for Nickelodeon), A Quiet Place, Smile, etc.
    • Sometimes one of their films helps save a franchise, like Sonic the Hedgehog, from Sega’s famous video game series of the same name.
  4. For a majority of their films, they have an awesome soundtrack.
  5. Most of their characters are very memorable and lovable.
  6. It is one of the most successful American film studios along with Disney, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., Sony Pictures and Universal.
  7. They also managed to have some great studio units, like Nickelodeon Movies, Miramax, MTV Films, and Comedy Central Films.
  8. They managed to make some good movies based on their units' TV shows, like:
  9. Their divisions, Paramount Vantage, Paramount Animation, Famous Studios (renamed Paramount Cartoon Studios in 1956), and Paramount Players (despite the latter two not being the best) are decent and great.
  10. Sometimes, they can take any criticism for other ones, unlike Square Enix, Mattel, 20th Century Fox, or even Sega in the mid-2000's. For example, when the first trailer of Sonic movie premiered and received a massive negative reaction, Fowler announced that the film would be delayed until February 14, 2020, to get "a little more time to make Sonic just right".
    • Another example is that when fans have outcry that Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Tails' voice actress, is absent in the poster, they decided to edit the poster to include the names on the top and the billing block, providing that they can take another criticism as well.
  11. Speaking of which, Paramount is considerably better at avoiding security leaks than Sony was in 2014, plus they do less quantity over quality than Sony did back in the early to mid-2010s.
  12. They made films from remakes, reboots, or sequels that the original distributor has from the first film, like Scream (2022).

Bad Qualities

  1. They have had their fair share of bad movies, which is normal for a movie studio that is nearly over 100 years old. Examples of bad or mediocre Paramount films include
  2. Some of their films, whether they were good or bad, were box office bombs.
  3. They fired Jason Blum from the Paranormal Activity series for no good reason.
  4. Like its parent company, they can be overprotective of their properties, notably SpongeBob SquarePants.
