A lawyer can and probably should correct me on this but if they don't defend the brand can't they actually lose it?

Disney's infamously protective of their brands, you literally need explicit permission from the Mouse in order to even paint a room in a hospital or in your house with Winnie the Pooh characters when they really want you to buy their shit (that they can track through your credit to make sure you actually bought it) to put on instead of hiring an artist to do it by hand. Before Disney owned Marvel, I think you literally could have a customized engraving of your favorite superhero on your tombstone.

Disney's motto should be "No fun allowed".

You know I sometimes joke with friends about Disney's lawyers scaring people from drawing pictures of characters they owned but stuff like makes me worry about Disney growing more and more and they already are able get away with exploiting copyright on the basis of having a lot of influence and money but that is just me.
 
Well this headstone situation is fucking evil. For once, I’m actually happy that Sony owns Spidey PS4 and Spiderverse. Making Sony look good isn’t a good thing, Disney

So they were very strict about this remake having no songs whatsoever to keep with the theme of the movie and its new "SUPAH SEWIOUS SAMUWAI" tone or whatever, yet still couldn't resist the urge to tease their audience with an instrumental version of "Reflection" and an allusion to "Honor To Us All" so as to pander to the nostalgia-hungry masses.
Never change, Disney. Never change.

Rumor is they changed Shang to erase the bisexual tension (I'm not making this up) because China is massively anti-lgbtq and well.....guess what movie they want to do well in CHINA.

I've heard the Chinese are actually coproducing this.

Will the movie open with the Huns climbing over the Great Wall and pointing out how "walls don't work"? :thinking:

They're apparently not going to be in the film. (Besides, it was the Mongols who decided to just go around the Great Wall.)

So are the bad guys the Mongols? What I've read, in brief synopsis, they are called "Northern Invaders".

I don't hate this trailer, and I'm perfectly fine with it not being a musical and with it not having the animal sidekicks. Looks like something that's not just flooded with CGI either; looks like there's going to be some actual stunt work and choreography here.

Still most likely going to skip this in theaters, but at least there's an ATTEMPT to do something different with this remake.

And guess what? The Disney spergs and shills hate it. lol. Fuck them.
 
I agree with Mad, the one time they seem to do something different with the remakes, and the autistic Disney fans hate it for not being a scene-by-scene copy of the original. I guess it was expected that the Mouse's audiences would be as creatively bankrupt as they are....

Why is this even a remake? It sounds like it should just be an entirely new film based on the same Chinese story.

Isn't this probably just a technicality in that it's not certain the Xiongnu were the same people the Romans called the Huns?

Because Iger's Disney doesn't really do originality. They roll with what's recognizable and sells, as anything they've tried that wasn't based off their previous IPs doesn't sell as well to general audiences.

Sure people may go and see Moana or Zootopia, but people will line up in droves to see anything Beauty and the Beast-related again in theaters. Only reason that rarely worked under Eisner was because the watering down was so staggeringly blatant that most people noticed it a mile away.
