Why themoviedb > omdbapi

themoviedb had a better api in my opinion, especially with the discover endpoint. Creating queries were more straight forward and wanted to do queries based upon actors. With omdbapi I would of had to do alot of processing on my end to get the data working. The frontend should be a lot of the leg work when it comes to processing data/queries.
