Holy shit that is an ugly poster. I get that now a days poster designs are ""graphic design is my passion" levels of bad, but this is a whole new level of fucking awful.
 
For the longest time you would see above a movie's title "Walt Disney Pictures Presents" in small font, and maybe the words Walt Disney would be in his trademark signature. Sometime in the 2010s they shifted to a larger signature "Disney" above the title. Not even the possessive "Disney's." So it's Disney Jungle Book. Disney Cinderella. Disney Maleficent. Disney Zootopia. Disney Big Hero 6. Don't forget Disney Frozen. This change is retroactively applied to most DVDs and Blu-ray's I've seen, so on home video I've got Disney Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas. Even Pixar movies are burdened as Disney/Pixar, a unique distinction that Lucasfilm and Marvel haven't warranted so far.

A few years later they even changed the name of their Buena Vista divisions to just Walt Disney Whatever. This enormous company, with so many different parts that it defined synergy, has spun so hard it's all just become a safe, homogenized, branded slop you can subscribe to for $10 a month.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Disney Indiana Jones 5, because my expectations are kept as low as possible. No modern pg-13 movies can have any realistic violence, look at Mission: Impossible movies which while filled with thrills and perceived violence, go out of their way to minimize blood. Compare that to the relatively gory Indy trilogy. Raiders and Temple of Doom, aka the bloodier two, are actually even rated PG. (Yes I know they were before pg-13.) Indy 5 under Disney oversight will probably be tamer than Crystal Skull, which came out when the MPAA was significantly likelier to give a movie such as Last Crusade an R rating. Do you think anyone in Dial of Destiny will even be smoking a cigarette? That is like instant R now.

cf. Emma Stone as Cruella de Ville was not allowed to smoke as her iconic smokey character so Disney could turn her into Harley Quinn for little kids. I think they even put out a press release once saying they had banned tobacco in all their future films, but I can't be certain. I got a recent Disney bluray that showed scenes of classic Cruella hamming it up and blowing smoke when I booted it up. Not an ad for 101 Dalmatians, it was actually an anti-smoking PSA.

Not Disney related but people said the same thing about Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. The Legend of Chun-Li even tried to set up a cinematic universe before that was a trend in 2009 by teasing a Ryu movie about the street fighter tournament after killing Irish M. bison in the first movie.

Reminds me how little of a shit the entitled pampered African American communities care about real actual black Africans and black Latinos. They are the dumbest consumers with no culture beyond more consumerism and defending criminals. While real black Africans and black Latinos are the loudest that criticized and made fun of shit like Woman king and the woke little mermaids. They are always defending their corporate slave masters. Ironic really. They have no idea how much blacks outside of America view them in a bad light for giving the black race a bad name. Only black america and white women eat up woke marketing.

Unfortunately, the black American market seems to be a market that the entertainment industry is eyeing since they watch an average of 44 hours of television a week (more than a fucking work week), more than any other race.

that's nice and all, but how much of that translates into actual money?

movies don't have egregious violence to be "violent". look at mission impossible, while there's a lot of fighting going on blood spatter and broken bones aren't the focus and the movies just as fine without it. or look at it this way, indy5 won't suddenly be a "good" movie just because they included some average 90's movie violence.

it's similar to have every second word in a dialog has to be "fuck" (and nothing fucking else) to appear "mature" and other stupid because hollywood can't write adult dialog for shit anymore.

The specific difference I mean is when people are shot, is there blood, or do they just drop dead like a spy in an episode of Get Smart. The portrayal lets you understand the limitations that film makers are imposing on themselves, and betrays their mindset in art vs commerce. You are correct seeing blood won't make a movie good but it can be a sign of not-pandering. And sometimes violence is expected, especially in Indiana Jones, whether it be guns, gods, airplane propellers, rock crushers, ancient booby traps, etc.

There are people still out there that deny superhero movies a dying fad of the genre. An MCU movie gets sniffed out at the box office by Cocaine bear and a movie about Jesus.

Yeah, the superhero movies now face the same music then western movies did and speaking of Cocaine Bear, Breitbart posted a good article about it. https://www.breitbart.com/news/cocaine-bear-gets-high-with-23-1m-ant-man-sinks-fast/

Sunday studio estimates say the gonzo R-rated horror comedy “Cocaine Bear” sniffed up $23.1 million in its opening weekend, while Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” shrank unusually quickly in its second weekend

‘Cocaine Bear’ gets high with $23.1M, ‘Ant-Man’ sinks fastBy JAKE COYLEAP Film WriterThe Associated PressNEW YORK

NEW YORK (AP) — The gonzo R-rated horror comedy “Cocaine Bear” sniffed up $23.1 million in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, while Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” shrank unusually quickly in its second weekend.

“Quantumania” was still No. 1 with an estimated $32.2 million in ticket sales in U.S. and Canadian theaters. But the “Ant-Man” sequel, hit with some of the worst reviews and audience scores of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, dropped a steep 69.7% in its second weekend. That’s the worst decline for an MCU film, falling faster than “Black Widow” (67.8%), a pandemic release that debuted simultaneously in homes.

Instead, Universal Pictures’ “Cocaine Bear” rampaged through multiplexes, scoring notably above expectations. Made for about $35 million and directed by Elizabeth Banks, “Cocaine Bear” stirred up plenty of buzz just from its title and its made-to-go-viral trailer.

Toy Story 5, Zootopia 2, and Frozen 3. Gotta ride those cash cows instead of making a 2D hand drawn movie about Baba Yaga or a Lion King/Tarzan crossover. Such is life when dealing with a company like this.

Isn't it too late for Zootopia 2 and frozen 3?

Zootopia came out more than half a decade ago, it was a good movie but the time for a sequel is really passed. Outside furry circles there's not much buzz about it.

And frozen 2 was a catastrophe of unmitigated magnitude, probably the worst disney animated movie the past 2 decades. I don't know how disney managed to fuck up that IP.

Honestly the way disney handled both of these is shocking to me. They were both reasonably decent animated flicks that were well received and while frozen didn't really need it, zootopia had a world that could be expanded but this is somehow the one scenario where disney went "nah lets show some restraint" meanwhile today they're shitting out 12 star wars shows per week.

Disney needs new franchises, outside animation, remakes and PotC, all other hits they have had have been old ips from studios they have bought rather than internally development projects.

They burned that bridge because Depp is really furious at them. There are rumors going around that disney is planning to take him up on his 300 mil offer, but its all hearsay.


Who knows though, money speaks and disney is desperate so it really depends on how desperate they get.
 

I'm confused at this unnecessary race-swap much more than usual, considering there's already a Black fairy (Iridessa, 2nd best girl after Silvermist) in Tinkerbell's own movie. Hell, if a guy with Jungle Fever is confused at this, then you just know something is wrong.

This isn't even going into the fact that Peter Pan is Indian, or that Wendy is in almost 80% of the trailer, & in the name of the film.

There’s something about watching these character designs in motion that makes me physically ill. Same deal with Strange World and the manticore from Onward.

Part of it is like a weird motion sickness from everything being over animated, and part of it is just a fundamental lack of appeal.
