Hit the nail on the head with why "the chart says" should have died last decade. The hacks behind this crap probably browse or ask the interns from colleges, "you there! What's trending on that darn ticking tocker?" They get a cursory response of the latest flavor of the month influencer, a compilation of 90s/y2k nostalgia photos set to aquatic ambience, and celebrity gossip so they scramble to cobble together what they think can make money.


It's frankly not much different that what hollowoo thinks ai will replace them with. Only ai can process a spit out modern script faster than a team of writers.

The film is almost 2 years away, why even release this trailer so early?

I know people feel it's a retarded conspiracy but i think there is some merit to the re-design of Sanic in the first movie, like it was planned to generate badwill just so they could swoop in and change it and go "Lookeee guys! We totally listen to our fans!"

It feels like it could be like that, the election got to them, so in a year they will go "Zendaya?" Nooo guys, only kiddiiiing uwu!"

Dreamworks theorically drops another trailer next year showing better designs and a recast voice for shreks daughter.

Chef skinner: what are you playing at?

“Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, having been born the only child of Claire Marie Stoermer and Kazembe Ajamu (who reclaimed his African name after he was born Samuel David Coleman)”

How do you 'reclaim' a name that you never had?

Same way trannies say their new names are their true names and the original is their "deadname".

“Like do ya’ll never stop complaining and shut the fuck up?”

It’s because the changes suck warty dick. But just consoom the slop, I guess.

I heard decent things about the FOP sequel/continuation, but conversely it's funny how silent the internet is about the current MLP generation compared to the previous one. You couldn't move for fanart or...the other kind. Christ.

This looks like what someone would post as bait, but they are completely serious.

Oh she absolutely is. Going into replies and retweets like “Ugh, ya’ll are allergic to change! It’s not like the original doesn’t exist anymore either!” The latter of which can possibly be seen as irrelevant when you have shit like streaming services mass removing shows and movies for tax write offs.

The difference between then and now is that self-deprecating humor and pop culture jokes were a lot more novel in 2001 than 2025. (Time flies bros...)

Marvel has beaten this kind of le quirky humor into the dirt. Audiences are tired of it. Puss in Boots 2 succeeded in part because it was earnest and sincere with the story it told, if all this movie has going for it is TikTok jokes it's gonna be ripped to shreds.

Basically

Playing a story straight has become a novelty. The problem is writers dont understand making the fact that an unusual situation is played straight can be entertaining or more hilarious than an overdone quipfest.

Any writer reading this, disregard above comment. Throw as many "Well, that just happened" in your stories as humanly possible.

Well with ONE major exception of course.

I heard decent things about the FOP sequel/continuation

It's still crap that never needed to exist. And like rugrats 2020s and the never released ren and stimpy reboot I hope it gets forgotten soon.

Definitely with you on that bizarre CGI Rugrats reboot. Never watched it and god willing never will.

Spoiler: How they got grandpa lou completely wrong

They turned grandpa lou from a wwII vet and owner of his own repair shop, to a hippie in the 60s that never stopped being one, who may have almost had a gay experience at one of his "save the whales" rallies

I'm 4/12. Who the other 8 are, I have no fucking clue.

I think I got soul cancer just from reading that.

 

[Roast Chicken]

You know a franchise has lost steam when the writers lean on referencing memes to hype a sequel.

With help from the comments, the others are Winx (which fans hate the remake), Monster High, Miraculous, Totally Spies, and Lego Friends.
Also, bitch clearly hasn’t seen the trailer for the new Smurfs movie, that shit looks as bad as the 2011 movie. Hated that one even as a kid, and nowadays I’m just kinda sick of the whole “Characters from that world come to ours” trope. I think only Sonic’s done a pretty good job of it.
