Disney Sucks

Disney is being called bigots for pulling Willow from Disney+.

@ANoobis
I thought Willow was lame but it really is unfair to everyone involved for the show to be removed in less than a year.

@Dex Stewart
Storage and bandwidth aren’t cheap at that scale. It’s every bit as expensive to host and deliver a show with no viewers.

@ANoobis
That sounds like an excuse. Storage is not expensive, no matter what they might claim. Disney probably doesn’t even meaningfully pay for storage as they’re large enough to likely have their own data centers. Bandwidth only matters if people are watching, and they should be assuming people will be watching something on the service.

What’s the real reason? Probably them wanting people to forget they made it, I would guess.

Indiana Jones 5’s stated budget is almost $300 million. It needs to do huge numbers just to break even. After it debuted to such bad reviews at Cannes, it has a hard road ahead of it.

The Little Mermaid’s new Scuttle is just as bad as everything else. Here’s a new song that’s been making the rounds. Why Disney would release this, I don’t know.

@ANoobis
…well, that was…something. :/
It’s not exactly a replacement for Poor Unfortunate Souls or Kiss the Girl is it?

@FeatherTrap
That reminds me. They made sure to ruin Kiss the Girl, both musically and narratively. Ariel derails her own mission by withdrawing from a successful kiss attempt because Disney wanted to include a message about consent.

So when the Little Mermaid remake comes out, one of two things will happen. It will flop and the usual folks will blame racism, sexism and ism-phobia for its failure; or it will do well enough at the box office and the usual folks will insist that it was because of diversity, equity and inclusion.

In other words, fuck the merit of the film, amirite?

Here’s a metric you can’t argue with:

Is she still white at Disney World?

@ponypony221
She’ll likely be black at Disneyland in California, though…

@Goku Black
Both park usually follow the same rules, so I don’t know about that. I also don’t think she has a permanent attraction at Disneyland like she does at Disney World.

We’re in the home stretch now folks. We’re a mere THREE days away before this little mermaid abomination drops and gets utterly wrecked at the box office, as it so rightly should be.

The online hype Disney has been putting out for this movie has been exhausting to watch, and I can’t wait for it to finally be over.

Some movies enjoy an orgasm-like quality to their hype, but this POS has been like being nauseous and physically unable to puke.

As much as I hate, or at least dislike Disney for not only letting Kathleen Kennedy to be Lucasfilm’s CEO Thanks a lot, (((Iger))) Trashing all of George Lucas’s outlines for the Sequel Trilogy, decanonizing the EU, Deconstructing Luke Skywalker’s character, and replace her with a shitty character “Rey”, who never had someone teach her the Force beforehand, and fucked up much of MCU phase 4, expecting their woke modern feminist mouthpieces to make as much money as the Phase 1, Phase 2, and most Phase 3 MCU movies, I still don’t want Pixar to go under. I personally don’t think Elemental looks bad at all, and the premise is by no means terrible or bad like that of the Emoji Movie nor the 2016 Ghostbusters film. I know very well that the Lightyear reboot was not well received by many audience members, plus it didn’t make much of a mark financially. Time will tell if Elemental will be able to make enough to break even, or if it will be similar to how Dreamwork’s Sinbad in terms of being such a box office bomb that the Higher ups at DreamWorks in 2003-early 2004 decided let go of the studio’s 2D animation department.

We’re only a day away from the Thursday previews for the Little Mermaid. Currently, the movie is expected to bring in about $180 million globally over the four-day Memorial Day weekend. A lot of media outlets are treating that as some kind of triumph, but that would be a disaster of an opening. $180 million doesn’t even make back the budget, and this film has an uphill battle in regard to legging out with the cramped June box office right around the corner.
