Raya and the last dragon - A half decent trailer for most likely a mediocre film that will still get a billion dollars

My God, does anyone else find Awkwafina's voice incredibly grating? I can't stand hearing her in anything, so I'm somewhat dreading this. Otherwise, it looks okay, I guess

In Germany it will be released dubbed, so at least we can avoid that.
Sidenote: Am I the only who thinks she looks a little bit like Katara from The Last Airbender?

Disney is on fire and bleeding out millions. the only thing keeping themalive are the shit eating CONSOOMERS that put corporate products first, and everything else incluiding politics, themselves, their families and human rights second, here's a picture of one of those soyboys for reference.

Looks like a younger incarnation of the guy directing G.I. Joe Origins: Snake Eyes (which, coincidentally, is going to try to sell the male lead from Crazy Rich Asians as the blond, blue-eyed American ninja, only he's not going to be blond and blue-eyed, and he's not going to use ninjutsu, he's going to use kung-fu, because the director likes 1970s HK kung-fu flicks so fuck you):

This is what the dragon looks like, apparently.

Even within the first 30 seconds this shit managed to look ghastly. Disney's standard of quality has really dipped.

And kung-fu con artist baby? Really? That's one of their key characters? And the humor and writing is so obnoxious, like the kind of self-referential and self-aware tripe you see way too often these days. And that dragon looks like bad furbait.

Looking at that shot of her younger self, she looks like Korra, sounds like Korra and even her name sounds like Korra. Now I have something to look forward to... E;R's inevitable review of this shit.

You know, watching some fantasy movie or with asian vibes could be pretty neat. If you've got an itch for that kind of thing, watch Seirei no Moribito / Guardian of the Spirit.
It's a somewhat old anime series, but it's a really good one. Animation by Production IG when they were at their peak, a pretty good story, a cool asian fantasy setting.
Very good fights scenes:

The show is about a female bodyguard called Balsa, who is hired to protect an imperial prince (called Chagum) from assassination attempts by his own family.
The characters are written very well. Chagum especially starts out as a royal prince so spoilt, he doesn't know what hunger feels like before he's forced to set out with Balsa.

I get a massive "stolen assets" vibe from this.

Maybe not "stolen", but it feels like an asset flip. Down to the tropes and plotpoints, it feels like they just took what parts were lying around from earlier movies, dipped it in Szechuan-Sauce and vomitted it on the big screen.

and some kind of stupid ape beast man who looks like a massive black hole of masculinity, like they threw all the man tropes into one ugly bucket of muscle.

How much you wanna bet his quirk will be something childish and unmanly.
Like this guy from Tangled:

Zootopia too, the main character is just Anna's fursona

When I watched it for the first time, halfway through, I got this short epiphany that the movie could be at least 10 times as awesome if the thing that made the animals go berzerk would turn out to be rabies and the last act of the movie was a rabies-zombie-apocalypse.

I've never heard it before watching the trailer and every second sounded like demon cats clawing at my soul.

I wonder if that baby will actually be a baby or if it'll turn out to be an old person pretending to be young to scam people.
You know. Like this character from Zootopia:
