I remember "13 reasons why" pulling the same shit and it didn't go so well considering MORE people committed suicide after watching that series.

Well, in that case, it's because those people were already suicidal. And dumb.

Frankly, if you're retarded enough to copy some dangerous act you've seen on TV or else where, you deserve what happens to you. Period.

This disclaimer is shown for a few seconds at the start of each episode if you watch any of the orginal Muppet Show on Disney Plus.

The Muppets for christ sake.

It's only about a 1/4 of them, but it's not always obvious why. I understand some of the episodes getting the warnings like the Confederate flag on Johnny Cash's episode and the infamous yellow face, but the Kenny Rogers episode has it with nothing really objectionable in it. Makes a fun game of figuring out why some episodes have it and I'm still happy they were willing to get all of the licensing to get all but 1 episode on Disney+.

So 20 years from now, they're going to put this disclaimer in front of the Black Panther movie for all that racial prejudice in calling all white people "colonisers", right?


...Right?

This is one of the few things I've seen here that makes me MATI. Who the fuck sees this and wants to spark a conversation or some horseshit like that. It makes me racist. NIGGERNIGGERNIGGER.

I don't mind these content warnings. This and the Whoopi Goldberg thing on the Tom and Jerry cartoons. You would think Disney would do this with Song of the South but lo they're so hellbent on erasing every trace of that film that it is laughable. It's ridiculous they have not rereleased that film ethnic stereotypes be damned.

The Kenny Rogers episode has the disclaimer because part of the episode's plot involves muppet Arabs.

Oh yeah that reminds me, didn't someone point out the possibility Disney may have stolen artwork or ideas that's being used in the set-piece for Strange World? I couldn't find it when my brothers and I got to talking about Disney and the movie got brought up.

Yep, Wayne Barlowe.

I swear I’m the only person who’s pointed this out so far, but that new movie they’re making, Strange World, is literally just a massive ripoff of Wayne Barlowe’s Expedition. Everything from the creature designs to the premise to even the color palettes are uncannily similar to the book in question. What’s the premise you ask?

Basically a flying spaceship of sorts is sent to record and study the life on a planet known as Darwin IV; Meanwhile Strange World has a bunch of characters in a flying spaceship seemingly studying/recording the alien life that is strikingly similar to Darwin IV’s.

The whole book is essentially an exploration on what actual alien life would look like, and while fantastical in nature is still grounded in reality. There was a TV special for it that aired many years back called Alien Planet.

To give you an idea of what I mean, here’s some screenshots I took compared to illustrations from the book (sorry for the lack of spoilers, currently on mobile and also a newfag)

There’s some other creatures that are harder to make out in the trailer, but they resemble creatures featured in Expedition.
There’s absolutely no way this was just a coincidence, “heavily inspired“ be damned. Not to mention Expedition is kind of an obscure book already, so it‘d be easy for them to get away with it. At the very least I hope they credit Barlowe if this is the case (although they probably won’t either way).

I was finally happy to see something fresh out of Disney, but I honestly shouldn’t have expected anything less.

(Edit: Picture files are acting retarded for some reason. Sorry about that, I’m not sure how to fix it. At the moment you can click and download the pictures via the links but that’s about it.)

I'm sure it is, this has video babysitter fodder all over it. It's all about keeping those brats quiet as you do taxes in the other room.

The voice is oddly nostalgic because that's how all kids' movie trailers sounded in the 2000s (when I was a lil kiddo). I thought we had moved past it for good but apparently not, lol
