Disney General - The saddest fandom on Earth

[The Nothingness]

Powerleveling aside, it’s basically all those reasons you listed in some way or another. Including “It’ll keep my kid busy and not on the iPad for a couple hours.”

I never understood that logic. "Instead of having my kid's eyes looking at a small screen, I'm going to spend money so their eyes look at a big screen."

 

[Betonhaus]

They should stick with the "doesn't work in CGI" line. It made them look less stupid.

Imagine having Nani ditch Lilo then claiming you know how to handle the themes of the movie better than Chris Sanders.

Disney was much better when the writers were normal parents with healthy relationships with their children and parents

Well I guess casual contempt for family outweighs performative worship of brown people round Disney parts.

I wonder what Director Daddy Issues is moving on to next...

Ya know....I have never even had the slighest fucking interest or respect for the Jetsons in my life but in this moment I feel genuine pity for whatever fandom might exist for this shit.

Oh the poor Jetsons fans. What little I remember of the show had them as a healthy happy family and they're taking that away?

At some point relationships and personalities in films stopped being the ideals people should aspire to and became crap that the dregs of society can relate with.

You assume most parents have it altogether or some modicum of logic with anything they do when they’re just winging it. This has held true since the dawn of humanity, when families were mammoth eating cave dwellers to now when families are Mcdonalds eating, cave dwellers.

Honestly, if it wasn't going to be the stupid American mutts and Disney adults giving Disney money to watch this slop, it was going to be the Japanese. They fucking adore Stitch, that's all they want to see is Stitch himself. The rest of the movie will be ignored, but everything involving Stitch was going to activate their neurons.

Although thinking about it, I dunno the general Japanese take on these remakes. Seems like they tolerate them because Disney.

We MUST STOP HATE WATCHING

Disney Adults, Children, and Stitch being a universally appealing character can do that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese dubs censor the worst of the shit. I would bet they entirely cut out Nani going to college and giving up Lilo to the state.

Aren't the Japanese less critical of media in general, because of things such as their anti-defamation laws makes them fearful of speaking out critically against something? The Japanese also loved AOT's ending, while most of the criticism of that ending came from the Western community and the Chinese.

Sometimes, I just want to ask parents who take their kids to see this garbage what their thought process is. Do they really want to take their kids to see that movie in particular, or are they going because there's not really any other option? Do they have nostalgia for the original and want to share that with their kids, but don't think they'd want to watch the animated movie for some reason? Do they realize that the remakes are utterly lacking in soul, or does it completely slip past them? I particularly want to know when the last time they watched the original was, and if it was anytime recent. I feel like that's the biggest reason the stupid changes these movies make are not a bigger deal to more people than they should be. They're operating off of fuzzy memories of movies they watched decades ago, so that when they watch a remake that makes Jasmine a girlboss or Jumba a villain, they don't really see the changes as clearly as they should.

You are giving general audiences way too much credit in thinking they'll have the capacity to evaluate critically the content they consume or analyze the deeper meaning or messages inbedded in the mass market entertainment they are propagandized to see. Most people just participate in the experience and follow trends because everyone else is doing it.

There is no though process, it is "New Disney movie in theaters" --> "Take kids to watch new Disney movie". The term "sheeple" exists for a reason.

And of course, this means that the live-action remake slop will continue unabated.

If you think the live-action slop is bad just wait until Disney and all these big studios start pumping out 100% AI made slop at a fraction of the budget and time that it takes to create a live-action movie. We are going to be flooded with slop with no end in sight.

I'm not looking forward to what mainstream entertainment will become the next few years.

Getting their child out of the house.

Really, what is there left to take your children to these days. Most of the child-centric places are now either gone, been aged up (McDonalds), ghetto-fied (Six Flags), or are way too expensive (Disney). The movies will at least get them out, even if it for another screen.

The Jetsons is a surrealist rock and roll nightmare that was used to demoralize children in the 60s:

in order to prepare them for (surrealistic, nightmarish) disco:

Remember when people were celebrating AI as a way to compete with Hollywood not aware that Hollywood can easily pump out the worst slop imaginable without needing to worry about production time, unions, or anything that will slow down the movie making process

I'm hoping that we achieve a slop singularity where anyone can create their own slop using a home server, pateron donation, or subscribing to a cloud service.

then they old studios would not be able to compete in slop and will either implode or be forced to compete on quality

Yes BUT not all grass taste the same. Some grass sucks. And when the "sheeple" have to pay for the grass, they will choose the better one. Point is, Disney is bad grass and you can get better stuff for cheaper. The "sheeple" have figured that out judging from the box office.

 

[Newcomer 42]

Managed to find a free (*cough*) of Lilo and Stich, which I quickly checked to see if they truly go with that dumb take of Lilo being essentially ditched by her older sister. It happens, and for what's worth the grandma is suggesting the idea, but it still feels incredibly forced, but eh, everything about this movie that could be said has been said already.

Eh, at least AI doesn't have the compulsion to fill certain DIE boxes.

They'll just use AI to fulfill those said DIE boxes more easily.

 

[Betonhaus]

only the ones sponsored by the jews. When we reach the point where your TV has an AI that's constantly generating content on demand you'll be able to break it's restrictions eventually

Are there no parks? Are there no playgrounds?

The children would rather die than go without watching skibiti toilet!

Well I guess casual contempt for family outweighs performative worship of brown people round Disney parts.

I wonder what Director Daddy Issues is moving on to next...

I wonder how it's going to top the massive bitchslap the original movie gave Judy’s VA by ditching her for some literal who pop star.

Edit: Got the names wrong

 

[Basic Blond Boy]

Parks are still around, of course, along with the average jungle gym/jumpy locations. My main point is that options are getting far more limited since there are less places built for kids now.

Movies are just easy, and the Disney lot are rarely fighting for attention given how much Hollywood gave up on making content for children. In the case of Lilo & Stitch, its only competitor is Minecraft, which is now weeks old.
