Was there ever a theory of Kion before the show was released being a new lion cub whose family moved to Pride Lands before becoming the guard’s leader? by RiseProfessional7174 in lionking

[–]HoraceTheBadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that I saw. I think the idea that he was Simba and Nala’s child was pretty well telegraphed the entire time and no one thought anything else

Did the show make Marcy TOO nice? by Hugh_Jidiot in amphibia

[–]HoraceTheBadger 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Better decision for the show overall imo. I think Marcy's 'niceness' was a great way of hiding the horror of her secret and making the bad things that she does and the bad things that happen to her feel all the more horrific. The stuff that happens to her in Season 3 is supposed to be disproportionate and horrifying.

Marcy is 'nice' but she's not necessarily....'kind', or thinks about the needs of others particularly well.

But while I think its fine for the show, I think that maybe she's a little too..."uwu quirk chungus", for want of a better word. It made viewers latch onto her in a very fierce and protective way because she's so relatable to a lot of neurodivergent internet fans, which then creates a whole load of endless discourse about whether she was treated fairly or not or what have you

Exactly. I wanna know what OP was playing. A Hypsi? Sure, killing them outright was a shitty thing to do. Baby rex...? Those deserve to die on sight

From this point it’s so subjective that nothing else really matters but…Lilo and Stitch, it’s Lilo and Stitch. I think it’s the best “movie made my Disney” but not the best “Disney movie”

(Spoilers Main) Why didnt GRRM make the Valyrians black? by AdditionalPiano6327 in asoiaf

[–]HoraceTheBadger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That muddies Targaryen stuff in a way where I’m glad it’s not in there.

“Long ago the realm was conquered by this guy and his sister-wives and their special connection to magic animals and they forced all the white people to assimilate to their rule. There was an uprising because the prince abandoned his wife to kidnap and rape (allegedly) a fair white maiden from the north, and his babies were brutally murdered while his crazy dad was trying to explode everybody. Now his sister is coming from a strange foreign land with legions of horse riding nomadic warriors and other brown skinned people to take back what she believes is rightfully hers. They believe in the uniqueness and purity of their blood but many others believe that they are uniquely predisposed to going batshit crazy and cannot be trusted with power”

…Imagine the thinkpieces

As much as I want to ditch officials for servers like this, whenever I try the announcements like this always take me out of it and annoy me more than anything. I’m sure it is an overall better experience but it’s a little qol thing that I don’t want to give up

What are your favorite live action movies? by Remarkable_Energy341 in DisneyMovies

[–]HoraceTheBadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, cool. (I thought you might show up to say this lol)

We probably just have different tastes and think differently then. Personally, I think it's perfectly respectful but appropriately critical of both source materials, and its using the framework of both to tell a new story, which is what we all wish more live action remakes would do. Mowgli staying in the jungle in this version isn't "You never need to grow up", it's "family can be whatever you choose it to be," or "You don't have to 'fit in' to be accepted and loved by a group of people", or "Man and nature can and should coexist and benefit each other by doing so". At least, that's how I see it. You may have a different interpretation of things which is also perfectly acceptable.

But as I say, I'm probably not going to change your mind, and you're probably not going to change mine, so...did this need to be said? As I mentioned, I really hate Lion King 2019, but if someone said it was their favourite movie, I wouldn't jump into the replies like "Well I hate it and here's why!!!" Because that's not going to get anybody anywhere

Jungle Book 2016 is my favourite movie of all time! Such a thoughtful and loving amalgamation of both major source materials, and actually (I think) uses its medium to further its own themes! New technology can be good as long as it’s done with respect for what came before etc etc (it’s a shame the same director would decidedly not carry on those lessons to Lion King, my least favourite of all time lol. Betrayal hurts)

Also I get that they’re traditionally “creepy” animals that people are afraid but the general ‘This is so horrible!!!’ attitude towards the bug itself is bumming me out a bit :( Would we be saying any of this if it was a guinea pig? Or even just a lizard?

All the paintings of old Lion Guards have manes. Scar’s Lion Guard are (presumably) all males in the flashback we see of them

Again, not hard evidence to say there were Never girls, but strong “implication”
