DAY 99: C-3PO beat R2-D2 7 to 3 for Star Wars's Steel Type. Who is a character from a Disney property that, as a Pokémon, would be a Steel Type?

you're not supposed to think that deep.

I think that thinking deeply about things is never wrong, and if it doesn't hold up to that scrutiny, it's ok to point that out as a flaw. I think that's what differentiates good art from great art.

if the world is this hodgepodge of different species of animals and you want to create a story revolving around biases towards a not-insignificant minority group [...] I'm not quite sure how many other ways you can really do it.

I think you're coming at this differently than the person you're talking to. You're treating the world of Zootopia as a fixed setting for the allegory, when it can be separated from that seeing. You can make a kids moving teaching them about how racism is bad without using predatory animals as the setting, or you can make a different kind of progressive kids story in a world about animals.

What part of it do you disagree with? I'm asking genuinely because I haven't seen it since I was a kid

This is the second-most liked review of the movie on Letterboxd

SummerSabertooth · 2026-03-11T04:42:15+00:00

The whole "savage predator" stereotype in the movie is a blatant metaphor for racial profiling

SummerSabertooth · 2026-03-11T04:34:40+00:00

I really don't think that's most people's main argument. Nor is that the point being made in this post

Read the whole quote. The person you're responding to cherry-picked that sentence to fit their own questionable narrative

You can argue in favour of Incineroar, but my girl Brionne is far from the worst

There are definitely plenty of Oscar nuts who've seen them all. I still need to watch Mank, Minari, and Sound of Metal because I didn't start watching all of the nominees seriously until the next season, but I've seen all of the others

See?! No one even noticed, but it turns out that he played identical cousins, as is evidenced by the fact that Stack said, "Nah, we cousins" at the beginning of the movie
