I want to give them credit for finally trying to loot African mythology for a change but since they have done this in association with others and clearly plan to dump all blame on them they can fuck off.

Also it's the in universe Bolt super pet mixed with Afro-futurism. Truly creative.

I will give some acknowledgement for going with the villain being black too. That said I would put money that was not Disney's suggestion.

That scene of the undead pirates striding across the ocean floor with the rays of moonlight filtering down is just so good, it's definitely the Pirates movie I can go back and watch from time to time and still enjoy it. The other 2 are decent but I never really feel a desire to rewatch them except for the Davy Jones screen time.

Black Pearl was a blast of fresh air at the time, especially for Disney. The story was surprisingly dark, the skeletons were allowed to look hideous, it was violent even if there was only a smattering of blood and lots of fights against the undead ,- basically all the things you'd never expect from kid-centric Disney.

I liked the first two sequels a lot, especially Dead Man's Chest, but they were a microcosm of Disney's failings. They leant too far into self-referential territory and made continuous nods to the first film to the point that it turned campy. Also felt like there were more gags than there actually needed to be.

Fact still stands that without Johnny Depp, the series is dead in the water, and no amount of PC Pirates is going to save it. You'd have more success bastardising Treasure Island, and I still wouldn't recommend it.

The original trilogy works perfectly as is anyway, no need for further sequels.

I unironically enjoyed the sequels more then the third film. Hell Barbossa gets a really good send off in 5. Not perfect but good fun for having more Depp.

The writing got strained because they were filming and writing two movies back to back. I love Dead Man's Chest, and At World's End is a little bloated but still fun. But from the behind-the-scenes stories, they were really scrambling to finish it.

I guess it shows how much more competent movie productions used to be, considering every other rushed production nowadays is like Rise of Skywalker level shit. The plot is pretty tight even in the most aimless parts of POTC. Like they at least remembered how to make good setpieces that justified being there, even if it was just for a fun cannibal romp at the beginning or whatever.

I'll give it this, at least it isn't a European story that they blackwash furiously. It's still wanking over the fantasy of Wakanda of course, but still, an improvement in my book.

This meme is EXACT vibe I get from this trailer.

Now I know I'm a biased racist evil KF user with access to evil alt right memes, but it becomes a JOKE where a country where most it's cities do not have a working sewer system, and orphans literally roam the land looking for scraps, ect... is then made to be a super utopia.

Yeah Disney, as if Afro-Futurism isn't just first world white people now.

Pretty intresting how Blxck stories are allowed to have an exclusively Blxck cast and its brave and diverse but when the same thing is done with wh*te stories (or rather, not done because its not allowed) its considered racist. People still lambasting lord of the rings for being "too white" and want to blackwash/brownsmear it with rings of power.

The blatant in your face double standard when it comes to what is and isn't allowed in media probably made me more racist than black crime statistics.

lol, "futuristic Nigeria". Mr. Beast better
start some serious overtime for this braaap to happen.

It'll probably get a second of screentime in the endless (and obnoxious) Disneyland shilling ads at the cinema.
 
Went back a couple pages to see talk on ESG talk drying up. I rather sort-of believe it, from the Lilo and Stich "this alien will appear as a human" and Manoa 2 seemingly being stitched together or at least being upgraded to a theatrical release from a TV one.

IMO it's obvious Disney is struggling. Not life-or-death struggling, of course, the theme park attendance and D+ still netting money will keep them afloat awhile. But we've seen details that make it clear it's suffering - witness the above details (surely they could have had SOME money to spend on CGI or an actual sequel script), theme park attendance being down with normies and especially normie families being priced out, and out-of-touch execs who are likely also true-believer diversity hires pushing the endless woke stuff like the recent X-Men '97 revelations. What's gonna happen if this ESG money is TRULY donezo but Disney's still in the grip of those woke-believers who still think everything is fine n' dandy in terms of the ole' piggy bank? Is there anyone there sane enough to see the winds turning, more importantly have the power to turn course if need be?

We'll see, I suppose.
 
IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE
Nearly a year after filming was first set to begin, TikTok user @paulinapullara revealed a set video from the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake. The video shows various crew members working on a public street in Hawaii, preparing a shot for which the titular young girl and alien are driving around in a ride-on convertible car.

On top of the fact that Maia looks as thrilled to be there as a kid would while sitting through a lecture on gender identity, it's the fact that it it's a car they're driving. Why does this piss me off so much? Well, for those not in the know, take a look at the equivalent scene from the original movie:

Have you noticed anything....different? That's right, they're riding a tricycle, not a car. Stitch can commandeer a kids' tricycle, and make it reach speeds that would make a Harley-Davidson blush. THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT FUNNY, AND IT GIVES US AN INSIGHT AS TO HOW POWERFUL STITCH REALLY IS. Make it a car, and you go, "of course he can commandeer a car, not that different from the spaceships he drove". It loses its impact.

If guy looked like that in the 90s? We'd tie him to the tetherball pole. In 2024? He gets a job voicing a once beloved character. The sad thing is...the comic continuation to 90s xmen (called 92 not 97) was a LOT better than this. But chalk that up to xmen 92 getting published in a pre clown world...just barley. 2015-2016 just as clow world reared it's ugly head.
