I can't wait for the sequel where she starts an OnlyPandas and then finds out that after a few years of wild success that everyone's seen the panda and doesn't care anymore, but she hasn't developed any interesting personality traits or talents or other abilities for when no one wants the panda. Then her wondrous lineage ends because, unlike everyone who came before her, she didn't have the sense to keep the panda under wraps.
(I haven't seen it either, so I am also assuming this cracked premise is valid; I admit it might not be but it seems a safe bet. 2015 Woe-B-Gon (TM) wouldn't have dared to assume that, but I am an older and sadder model.)

Well there's a vague line about this in the Wikipedia plot summary I read the other day ("The girls secretly begin to raise money for the tickets at school, exploiting Mei's red panda form"), so it sounds legit. I hadn't considered how metaphorical it could be until I saw that 4chan screencap. I'm guessing that's not the intended interpretation...but damn if it doesn't make it both hilarious and kinda creepy. That's really not the kind of female empowerment message you want to be sending kids.

I, on the other hand, assume that the hollow souls at Disney are precisely depraved enough for this interpretation to be entirely intentional while plausibly deniable.
I remember seeing something about this quote when the prequels were coming out, or maybe it was a bit later.
The only contention I'd have with Alec, is that sometimes little kids just watch the same shit over and over. I don't get it, but once when I was visiting my parents, and they were watching my sister's kids, the kids watched a dvd collection of Spongebob, but like only the four episodes on the first disc for like 5 hours. Most kids will grow out of that. Everything else? Full on agree.
The grown ass adults who are still so obsessed though? Man, I'm sure Alec would have some fun things to say to them. I forget the guy's name, but I remember seeing a man watching the Star Wars IX trailer and crying, and holy shit, that was so pathetic to see.
To my thinking though, even though Star Wars turned into a brain dead cash cow that'll probably continue on until the heat death of the universe, I don't regret that the original one's existed, just what they became.
If we're going to be pedantic, the first black female Trek captain showed up in 1986, in The Voyage Home, and was played by no less than Madge Sinclair. Apparently we're not supposed to count cameos, the better to let nuTrek claim it's breaking new ground.
The sheer elaborateness of Bob's fantasies and delusions of grandeur weirdly mixed with a persecution complex sometimes make me wonder how crazy he truly is. Like, "Does he have some form of schizophrenia" crazy. It would certainly explain his difficulty in maintaining normal relationships outside his family and holding down a real job.
Whatever is wrong with him, Twitter has made it infinitely worse.
Oh right, I forgot about that. I didn't remember a whole pile of The Voyage Home other than going to go get whales in Klingon Doc Brown's Bird of Prey and standing out like sore thumbs in San Fransisco.
Bob undoubtedly has *some* form of personality disorder. What form this personality disorder takes, is anyone's guess. Probably some level of narcissim at the very least. And then there's the likely mild (enough to function as a "working" human being, but not mild enough to have any proper understanding of human relationships) Autism.

Powerleveing but w/e. My wife has a soft spot for Disney (as in seen every Disney movie at least 3 times, even the obscure ones) so I watched the red panda movie already twice. I can tell you that the message was exactly that: show your panda, do what you want, fuck tradition, be a thot. There's a lot of grooming undertones that made me very unfomfortable.
I'm also 100% sure it's intentional that it's the Jewish girl that eggs her on to monetize her pussyanda.
Edit: The worst scene is the one where the main character agrees with a boy from school to bring the panda to his birthday party with the words, "200 bucks, you get the panda for an hour and I'm not bringing gifts". Jesus fuck, you could almost add "put on a rubber and no kissing in the month" and it wouldn't be out of place. Once at the birthday party, the kids keep screaming, "I want to ride the panda!!", and while on top of the animal, there is a scene where the kid is screaming, "faster, faster, faster!".
Yeah, I'm seeing Chris Hansen approaching my door atm.

Okay, yeah, no, this was 100% intentional. I know sick fuckery is sadly all too common in the animation industry, but damn. And it's all the worse that it's dressed up in cutesy red panda cartoon clothing, so parents are just going to throw it on for their kids and not think about it whatsoever.
I only pray that the message is too subtle and kids won't get it and become turbowhores, but kids pick up on more than we give them credit for sometimes.
Alec was right, but I feel what he said would've been better to say some manchild rather than an actual kid since kids like to repeat stuff all the time.
But I would give anything for him to insult nerd culture today to people's faces. Like I admit I watch some of these movies, but the obsessive fan culture is fucking cringeworthy.
There are plenty of parallels between Chris and Bob. Both are obese narcissistic manbabies with deep seated issues regarding bullies and enemies from their pasts, both have awful personalities that repulse women, and both are dead in the water without their tugboats. In an esoteric twist, you could consider him an amalgam of Chris and Cole Smithey, as Bob is also a balding critic with deeply unpopular opinions based on their personal tastes and pissing off groups they dislike, narcissistic delusions and are both not the nicest people around. This becomes even more poetic when you realize that while Cole suffers from being Chris's brother, getting the annoyance that comes with it, while Bob suffers from being, well, fucking MovieBob the lardball asshole. So he is indeed his own demon, which supports the theory further!

I honestly can't relate to people that are able to watch the same thing so many times. The closest I came to this was with some really good works, and even with them I got tired after some time, doesn't take away from the quality but you can only watch the same thing over and over until fatigue kicks in. But precisely, it's understandable to be happy about a new film from a franchise you love being made, a new game, but fucking crying about it is simply ridiculous!

There isn't anything wrong with enjoying entertainment. One of the smartest people I ever met in my life loved to watch "dumb" movies such as screwball comedies, the problem begins when you can't really enjoy anything more mature than teenage movies and your fucking life revolves around them, like with MovieBob. Bob is the dream audience for any Disney exec, they could release a barely coherent mess merely hinting at a new multiverse and Bob would praise this schizoposting feature film as high art, there are many MovieBobs out there that are firmly obsessed with this shit!

Not to mention both are unhealthily obsessed with a late-20th century video game mascot and have very delusional beliefs of a better tomorrow (only difference is Bob's being more "scientific" while Chris has it with religious nonsense). Really there are a lot more already mentioned.
Though I will have to say is that Cole Smithey may be a nobody film critic, he at least made something of himself while Bob still lives in his parent's basement.
That and Bob is still a massive virgin who is too proud to even get a hooker (like Chris) and no woman wants to touch him.

I'd respect Bob more if his reviews and such were something he treated as a job rather than revolving himself around Disney and the like. He is clearly capable of enjoying mature films yet he sticks to projecting nonsensical mythological and religious importance onto capeshit.
Yeah, me too. It's also not clear to me if this was pre- or post-home media. It's one thing to go to the cinema 100 times, but this might be "I've watched the VHS once every week for the past two years."
Also, in general, I think people tend to exaggerate their interest in a celebrity when talking to one. I mean, if I ran into William Shatner on a plane I probably would not talk to him about Lon Chaney Sr.'s silent filmography, or how much I want an English translation of General Kamanin's autobiography.
And I'd say the lesson isn't "Stop watching Star Wars." The lesson is "Watch something else too."

That is genuinely disturbing and distressing. Before I start buying up rope I need to due diligence and ask is it just us? Are we so cynical and jaded that we see sex stuff in whatever Hollywood throws out there? Are we seeing pedophiles in our cereal? Are we terminally online and see a conspiracy in the mundane?
...Even as I try to play devil's advocate I know I'm just deluding myself. There were no sexual overtones of Carl Frederickson trying to prey upon Russell in Up. There's no sexual liberation of Merida in Brave. There's nothing to even confuse as that any of them that I can think of. BUT! Those all over a decade old at this point...things sure have changed since 2012. Now comes in bean movie.
Bob who made 40 minute long video about how Avengers is Really That Good (tm), detailing the metanarrative through out the entire movie about how the Avengers themselves were stand ins for MCU and nobody, including the people in charge, had faith in it to come together and work, could not have missed this. I have not watched his review until now and it's left quite the taste in my mouth. He starts off his review asking if he should like the movie because chuds don't like the Cal-art art style or should he hate the movie because the Disney CEO didn't tell Florida to stuff it because of the #Don'tSayGay bill and solidarity and sheeeeeeit. Guise, it's really about puberty. There's a scene where the mom brings in a bunch of pads for the panda gorl you just don't get it! No where does he bring up anything that was in the 4chan post or what our fellow Bobolgists have mentioned. For a man who sees sex and lesbians in everything he sure missed what seemingly is right on the nose and I don't believe for a second that's on accident. Here's some choice quotes that made my eyebrows raise so high that my hairline is no longer receding:
"A movie that's sincerely and passionately nostalgic for early 2000's tween culture, when so much of modern, smart and good pop culture defined itself as being in exact opposition to that"
Name em Bob
"and being generally mean to girls on the internet level foundational media"
Project much Blobert?
"as every other nostalgia movie in our call back saturated culture has been about mid 80's, Anbliem movie, hair metal, and Ataris references I mean I'm just saying it's not super shocking maybe that some of the internet, cool kid film snob culture that generally lionizes Pixar, except for their NASCAR movie, bounced off this one a bit when it's ascethic is so celebratory of a moment in time that that culture built so moch of it's identity around tearing down. Worth thinking about."
The nostalgia and call back culture was made and proliferated by faggots like Bob and his horde of lost boys. He'll never name who these "internet cool kids" are and if they do exist he'll never let them explain what they don't like about the movie without turning it into "oh you hate it because it stars an ASIAN FEMALE TEEN!" because no movie, not even a Disney movie, has had an Asian female teenager lead. No sir! An animated film called Mulan never existed.
"It's just a terrific little movie."
He can say it about Turning Red because it was made by Disney. He couldn't go this much out on a limb for Cuties because it wasn't made by Disney.
It's staggering to me. It really shouldn't be anymore but Bob somehow finds a new way make me dislike him more and hate movies with an even hotter passion.
I really, really, really hoped beyond hope that it was just poltards doing what they do in those caps but here we are. It feels like we're so close to things going tits up that it worries me. Maybe I'm only thinking that because I'm really hoping that things don't get worse because the fallout from everything coming to a head will be horrendous but that would mean things stay the same. I don't want either but I'm not in charge here. I'm just a retard in solitary.
I just finished it so I'll just give a quick and dirty.
The bean mouth thing actually looks better in motion, out of context stills don't really do it justice. Overall the animation is a lot better than I thought it would be since I'm used to both disney and pixar being stiff.
As far as the story goes I actually think it was pretty middle of the road. I think whatever side of the culture war fence you are on will paint your perception dramatically, but as someone who was going into this ready to hate it, I don't think this is some Cuties level of globohomo propaganda. The 4 chan posts reek more of autists who need to touch grass and coomers who need to commit minecraft.
In conclusion I don't think it was especially ground breaking, but I think most normal people will like it, and its a decent take on the whole coming of age thing. A young imposter could relate despite being a manga nerd rather than a bean mouth pixar protagonist.
Edit: The worst scene is the one where the main character agrees with a boy from school to bring the panda to his birthday party with the words, "200 bucks, you get the panda for an hour and I'm not bringing gifts".
Jesus Christ. This is straight Cuties shit. No wonder journo scum loves this trash.

Hasn't it been confirmed by the director that the Panda is a metaphor for menstruation (i.e. sexual maturity)? And if the "My Panda, My Choice" line is legit, this clinches the sexual overtones of the protagonist's decisions.

I guess when I watched it seemed pretty disney sanitized. Like if you knew what was going on you got it, if you didn't you just thought it was goofy and awkward. I think people are getting a little too blue curtains about the whole red panda thing. It really just comes off as a generic puberty thing.
Not really because the Cuties meltdown became funny due to the fact Bob was defending a universally hated film that featured real kids twerking that literally no one stood up for all because the director was a black woman and assumed that was the real reason people hated it.
Bob extremely missed the point of the hate the film got and it was not some divisive issue that there could be some points in the defense for it's favor, no one liked it.
