I was watching the movie with my mother since she loves Disney movies, and she was fond of Emperor's New Groove. She said she enjoyed Kuzco precisely because he was so mean, since it also led to a bunch of funny moments. A personal favorite moment was when Pacha mentions he could have let Kuzco die and all his problems would be over, to which Kuzco responds, "Well that makes you ugly AND stupid."

My mom's not usually fond of mean protagonists like that, but somehow Kuzco works for her.
 
Kuzco was like everyone's spirit animal at one point tbh, some of us just never grew out of it.

I watched The Emperor's New Groove for the first time in years the other day, and honestly it might be one of my favorite Disney films for just how different it is from the movies that came before it. The movie isn't as dramatic or heartfelt as the Disney Renaissance period, but that's why it works for me. It's a goofy, funny movie that has its own identity. It's just so different compared to what Disney was pumping out at the time, sometimes I forget it's from Disney at all.

And even beyond that, the movie just has a lot of charm. I actually like David Spade so Kuzco never came off as annoying to me, and I've always liked Kuzco's chemistry with Pacha. Yzma and Kronk are also funny as hell.

Would Kingdom of the Sun have been a better movie? Perhaps. But I don't know if it could have distinguished itself as well as The Emperor's New Groove did.

People do like to look at the old KotS concept with nostalgia glasses, but honestly the movie just sounded like typical '90s Disney fare. Groove is great because it transcends those cliches without being up its own ass about it and isn't just Pocahontas in Peru.
 
Someone on Twitter uploaded a collage of Disney's slate of films in 2019. Notice a pattern?

Why the fuck is the next Spider-Man movie a second homecoming? I get it that Peter Parker's a high school student, but holy shit, stop reminding us.

Cause he's literally coming home a second time after Purple Man swept him up and dumped him in the trash.

It's actually titled Spider-Man: Far From Home, and will be about Peter and friends' summer vacation in Europe. And the villain will be Mysterio.

Who's the dumbshit who greenlit a fucking Artemis Fowl movie?

Here’s the real scary part: when Disney put out ads for the lead role they said child actors 10 to fourteen no acting experience required. There’s a strong chance we’re going to be getting phantom menace tier acting. Also this movie is coming out fifteen years too late. No one cares about Artemis fowl now so why bother making it

God-fucking-dammit, I've always wanted Mysterio in a Spider-Man film, but I just did not enjoy Homecoming. Other people did, I'm not going to fault them for it, but Homecoming bothered the shit out of me the whole time, and it may be because I never saw any of the other Marvel Cinematic Universe films and I just don't want to. Though sitting in the theater, I felt like this wasn't the Peter Parker I knew and loved. He was too modern for me, you could say.

Now I'm fucking torn over this.

They're not even trying with "Aladdin" and "Dumbo". Same titles, really? Are they sequels, remakes or just re-re-re-releases?

Live action remakes. Like The Jungle Book/Cinderella/Beauty and the Beast. A bunch of frame-for-frame soulless remakes that make you want to watch the animated versions.

Christ, the notions are so cancerous, they had been repressed from memory. No wonder I didn't remember. Should've listened to my body's natural instinct too; only trying to protect me.

With the Dumbo remake they're taking a cheap, small-scale quickie film and turning it into a gigantic, big-budget film. It'll be the purest expression of the truism that bigger isn't always better.

(I assume no crows, obviously, but probably no pink elephants as well.)

My problem with Peter Parker in that movie was that he felt a lot more hollow compared to the Raimiverse Parker. A lot of that had to do with the fact we never really saw him become Spider-Man, and I totally see the reason why; audiences wouldn't have taken too kindly to seeing his origin story for the third time in a decade. But his character really suffered for it because I just don't feel as though Uncle Ben's death really affected him as much, when it was a major driving force for his character in both the original and Amazing movies. Peter just feels less fleshed-out in general in my opinion. I'll give props to Tom Holland because he's definitely the most charismatic actor to play Spider-Man, but I don't really like the material he's given.

Personally I attribute it to the fact Spider-man is like Batman and Superman, where he only works for smaller stories and not the ensemble world-saving romps the Avengers focus on.

This is the first thing I saw about this movie and the only good thing I can say about it is Dumbo makes a better Joker than Jared Leto does.

Their idea of an added plot with human characters does nothing and comes off as a Greatest Showman ripoff, just with a worse color palette. I couldn't get over how gross and grayish everything looks, how is that supposed to make it appealing?
