Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Notgoodwithusernames]

I’m starting to worry a little about The Mandalorian based on the reception of shitty The Lion King remake since the director is involved with it.

Eh I don’t blame Favreau for Lion King he was basically dealt a bad hand

 

[Godzilla@1989]

Ah the irony of Disney viewing Power Rangers as the black sheep of their brands and now Star Wars is becoming the new black sheep of their brands.

Ah the irony of Disney viewing Power Rangers as the black sheep of their brands and now Star Wars is becoming the new black sheep of their brands.

Their entire company is a big black sheep. Covered in shit and left to have its wool choke it to death because their toxic corporate culture and lacking leaders are coming home to roost to some degree.

Now if only the Chinamen and middle-aged moms stopped encouraging shit reboots, since at least rereleasing the animated stuff like they used to do was something they could do for free.

In a perfect world, Lucasfilm would still be fine independently without Lucas. But that’s not a reality sadly.

I got a feeling the movie is going to bomb hard in China. I also thought the same about Justice League and look how that turned out.

Last Jedi and [Ranger Solo] both sank without a trace in the All-Under-Heaven. If Disney was ballsier, they'd go full Tumblr on Episode 9 to try and maximize their American/Euro/Rest of the gay cucked world box office and give up on China as a bad job w/r/t Star Wars.

That'd actually kill their western sales even harder because those shitbirds don't consume legally usually. It also just turns off your actual market.

Disney doesn't do ballsy. And as Adamska pointed out, the SJW market is very vocal in supporting someone's politics and decisions, as long as it only costs them the effort of making a Tweet or whining on Facebook.
They are remarkably shitty when it comes to actually buy things and support them via payments.
The biggest market has always been the Normie market, but it's not the most vocal.
A movie or series that leans too hard to left ideologies will inevitably start to lose traction with the normie crowd that just wants a good time.
If a movie or show gets bogged down in ideological shenanigans, that sinks the movie. Like Ghostbustettes or Solo.

Granted, Disney might not be aware of this and make a movie pandering to a crowd that notoriously never pays for anything they shill for... but still.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

So Disney just announced that their streaming bundle will cost $13.

Still doesn’t help that the streaming market is about to get rammed hard soon.

i honestly misread that as steaming bundle

and considering how over saturated the market is going to be, it might be true

 

[Dom Cruise]

Can anybody explain to me what the appeal of Woody Allen ever was to begin with?

Maybe I'm just not smart enough, but his movies never appealed to me.

The only one of his movies I've seen is Play It Again Sam a looooong time ago and I remember basically nothing about it.

Well that and Antz.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

So apparently Disney earnings fall short this quarter, mostly because of Fox’s assets and the GE park’s weak attendance.

Also, Bob Iger didn’t mentioned anything about acquiring Activision so they could have a developer make content under them.

So... what IS this then? The whole #woke thing, I mean? If the people whining about it aren't profitable, and the people pushing it- despite decades of marinating in "muh diversity 'n' inclusion" propaganda- don't actually believe it's profitable at the end of the day, why are things the way they are? Some form of the principal-agent problem, where Disney execs are scoring woke points using other people's money, but aren't so interested in running up the score that they'll do anything to jeopardize their bonuses? Or maybe the Abilene paradox, where nobody believes but everyone thinks everyone else is a true believer and they need to stay in line despite it not actually being good for anything?

 

[ManateeHunter]

Give up hope for Star Wars to become good under Disney.
Advantage 1) You will be able to enjoy the fires burning down the franchise much more carelessly.
Advantage 2) If hell freezes over and Disney actually somehow, against all odds, makes something that's not a repulsive pile of shit, you can be pleasantly surprised.

As much as I want to do that, it's difficult considering it was one of my all-time favorite shit as a kid. I was able to watch the 2016 Ghostbusters with a sense of empathy (because it wasn't that big outside of English-speaking countries), but these shit SW projects continue to damage the love I have for the franchise.

Or maybe the Abilene paradox, where nobody believes but everyone thinks everyone else is a true believer and they need to stay in line despite it not actually being good for anything?

I think it's a really wild mix. To some degree, you have people within their Echo chamber that tell each other movies are successfull or failures due to politics (I don't doubt there's people in Hollywood that genuinely believe that Ghostbustettes failed due to the Plebeian crowd of movie goers being too bigoted to watch it). And then you have people who just go along with it cause they know everyone around them is invested in this crap and if they aren't they might lose their job.

The thing is, being woke has never truly made a dime, yet that is how Marvel, Disney and some other companies have been primarily attempting to sell their products. Sometimes, they conflate success due to other circumstances with their woke marketing blitz (like people watching Captain Marvel not due to some bullshit woke message but rather since it's the 99th movie in an established franchise with obscenely good word-of-mouth).

Usually marketing execs are good at figuring this shit out, but being woke in large part depends on promoting diversity hires, who are so far behind the bend they can't touch sanity with an 11 foot pole.

The short answer is: I have no fucking clue why a company would still pander a market that evidently doesn't exist and I can only blame it on a strong ideology.
Even pissing off the woke market isn't that bad, still Disney and the likes are mortally afraid of doing that.

As much as I want to do that, it's difficult considering it was one of my all-time favorite shit as a kid. I was able to watch the 2016 Ghostbusters with a sense of empathy (because it wasn't that big outside of English-speaking countries), but these shit SW projects continue to damage the love I have for the franchise.

I'll be honest, letting go of Star Wars is not pleasant. To admit that the franchise has become toxic is unpleasant.
But holy shit, once you've dropped that baggage and jumped off the cliff of despair, you'll realize that you'll be carried on wings of contempt and soar to new heights of shitposting.
It certainly does help to realize that no matter what Disney does, they can't force you to treat their craptacular movies as canon.

Luke's a shitty hobo hermit on nun-toad planet that doesn't give a shit what happens to his former friends?
Fuck that noise, he's a respected member of the New Republic and an accomplished Jedi Knight.
Ackbar died pretty much offscreen in the most boringly slow chase ever?
Fuck that noise, he's a Grand Admiral now, one of the New Republics biggest assets in terms of strategy and fleet management.
Han and Leia divorced with Leia having a gay affair with Admiral Dangerhair and Han is a petty loser?
Fuck that noise, Han and Leia are an iconic duo helping to run the New Republic as important functionaries. Han is putting his scoundrel slyness and wit to good use with diplomats while Leia is doing her role as nobility justice by being cordial and hospitable, but also her sass makes her able to strike good deals and she doesn't get cornered by any petty politician over any matter ever cause beneath her fancy dress, she's a fucking badass (most likely the most badass character in the whole franchise) that strangled a fat space slug to death to free her lover.
That's my personal canon and neither Ruin Johnson nor JarJar Abrams will be able to defile that.
The characters earned their glory and fuck me if I allow some Hollywood cocksucker with weird hair to take that away from these characters.

companies hand off things to woke people who don't care about making money
and use the opportunity to fulfill their masturbatory social justice fantasies
and when the higher ups ask what the hell is going on, they go
IM TELLING EVERYONE IN MY COMMAND TO WATCH MY MOVIES NOW NOW NOW NOW
then they scream at people online to relive some stress or to boost their ego

I don't think it's the company as much as a lot of the cogs in the company are ideologues. It's well understood that media is infested with people who consider themselves "woke". And they're actively trying to inject as much of their personal politics as possible into new projects. The suits on top don't care as long as shit makes money in the end, and even if they start firing people who're trying to infest old franchises they'll simply be replaced by more woke fags being spit out of liberal arts colleges.

Wow...another superwepon, one which is a rip off of the Planet Killer from a 2004 comic too. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Planet_Killer

Also before I forget, I fear I may have some more evidence of time travel in TROS. I noticed this when the trailer aired, but now it makes sense.

It appears that around 1:31 and 1:32, you can see a ROTS-style star destroyer behind the ship that got shot down.

Spoiler

So if I'm right, there's going to be time travel nonsense in the Prequel era, probably involving Rey and the gang retconing them out of existence. If that happens we can look forward to years of the shills praising Daddy Disney for wiping those awful mean prequels out of existence.

That, or in addition to ripping off Dark Empire, IX will also rip off the superior sequel, Crimson Empire

Spoiler: Reusing Clone War-Era Ships
