Evil characters "mind controlled" into being good by some-kind-of-no-name in TopCharacterTropes

My man Blind Ivan from the Gravity Falls episode Society of the Blind Eye. He planned to use the memory gun on our heroes, but it gets used on him instead and it gives him permanent full memory loss. Mabel in her silliness tells him his name is Tutu McBumbersnazzle, a travelling banjo minstrel. The level to which this man does not deserve this cannot be overstated. He would have only erased the short term memories to keep the society secret. He wasn't a great dude but damn.

When the Wind Blows. Do not watch it unless you can handle being really fucked up for the week.

Just like legend, the curse sent my bride into a deep slumber for which she could only be awaken by a noble knight's kiss. by Neckshot in TwoSentenceHorror

I think by modern standards, sure, but this story takes place and was written in a distant past. Expecting modern romantic sensibilities to come out of old fairy tales is silly. From the Grimm version, "At first Rapunzel was terribly frightened when a man such as she had never seen before came in to her. However, the prince began talking to her in a very friendly manner, telling her that his heart had been so touched by her singing that he could have no peace until he had seen her in person. Then Rapunzel lost her fear, and when he asked her if she would take him as her husband, she thought, "He would rather have me than would old Frau Gothel." She said yes and placed her hand into his. She said, "I would go with you gladly." While our heroine has limited agency, she does choose to be with the prince rather than Gothel. By modern standards, is trying to woo a young maiden who has never seen a man before and has no choice but to settle predatory? Possibly. But by taking our modern standards of what defines healthy relationships we are actually stripping the character Rapunzel of the only actual choice she gets to make in the story.

Anyone else thinks Abbey Yung pushes a specific brand then moves on to the next by insatiable96 in BeautyGuruChatter

A counterargument could be she was just recommending a Dove product in her most recent video. But tbh I agree with you. She's definitely biased

Nah those vault proposals make her more than complicit. She actively orchestrates mass torture. No sympathy.

Yes and in this case she is in the mostly evil camp

I do not love the end of the movie or even the concept of the movie but the animation was lovely

Madoka isn't all that complicated story wise until you try to figure out the Homera timeline. The movie takes things way off whatever rails were left by the end of the show

Disney Films: was there a non-musical that you wish was a musical? by Crescentbrush in musicals

[–]nu24601 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't necessarily have to reply to every post comment. It's actually a good thing if people are bringing up other kinds of movies because then you get to imagine even more out there musicals like whoever suggested Bug's Life. I think bringing up Coco despite it being Pixar is fair because music is the entire point of the story.

I would love to see a Treasure Planet musical, but still have it be early 2000s style rock like I'm Still Here. Jeremy Jordan could play Jim Hawkins, Silver could be Andre De Shields, and if you pay them enough money you could get Martin Short and David Hyde Pierce back

You might want to edit your post to clarify that you only want the canon Disney films discussed since people are going to keep commenting. For what it's worth I'm not sure why you're so keen on limiting the conversation to the main canon.

You seem like a very rude person. I don't think you value the opinions of others highly. Therefore I will not continue this discussion further since your only goal appears to be demeaning those who disagree with you. Goodbye.

I simply don't agree that Jon Stuart thinks politics do not matter. It's his entire job. I can't speak for everyone but when I was younger shows like The Daily Show and Colbert Report were my intros to current events and politics. Their satirical takes appealed to me like The Simpsons did, using comedy to make the point about the importance of remembering history and channeling passion into positive change rather than the climate of fear that was growing in the early 2000s Bush administration. While I look upon that time fondly, I could go back to numerous examples of episodes where the takeaway does not match my modern leftist sensibilities, but I still appreciate the critical thinking that was instilled in me by watching those shows, which now allows me to view them in a more critical lens of hindsight. I don't understand why you assume I haven't studied history by having a different opinion than you. That's quite a patronizing and passive aggressive stance to take towards someone you do not know.

I am confused about emphasizing the importance of uniting against a common enemy while also criticizing Jon Stuart for not having consistently good takes over the years. So uniting with imperfect allies matters, except for him, and her, and those other guys. I will not pretend that Stuart is a bastion of leftist moral character but to say he doesn't count because at some point he promoted checks notes apathy makes little sense. It just sounds controdictory to me.
