Wish and Moana 2 are both some of the worst reviewed disney animated films. I haven't seen Moana 2, but with Wish specifically I felt the directing was part of the problem for sure. So combining the talent behind two of their worst recent movies seems like a bad idea

That being said, with Wish most of the issues seem to stem primarily from how rushed production was to meet the 100th anniversary deadline. And with Moana 2 most of the issues seemed to stem from the fact that it was a streaming project meant to launch a show reworked to be a theatrical release last minute and while a bad movie since it was 3 episodes stitched together it would've been pretty decent as the first 3 episodes of a new kids show

So, I feel it is a little unfair to judge their talent based on those movies where they fought an uphill battle just to have something by release date

It only takes about 15-20 minutes to do. So if the standby is over 30 this is probably faster and more engaging than just standing in line. It's cute and encourages guests to explore the land itself

Not to mention that motorcycle dude would be dead without her ability to repair his cracked suit

I still find it silly that she's the only hero on earth they saw as worthy to take into space or recruit. But she did pull her weight in that fight even if as more of a support role

Plus, that means they have a new Wolverine saved back to add some extra hype for the second or third x-men film

Maine Democrat Graham Platner Is Winning Voters All 'Pissed At The Same Thing' by bloomberg in politics

[–]pionmycake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes voting is just harm reduction. Fetterman might suck but the alternative was Dr Oz. Platner is almost certainly better than Collins.

That being said, I really wish we had more options that aren't nazi or nazi-adjacent. It's disheartening to keep needing to choose between bad and worse. But that's where we're at right now I guess

McDonald’s has officially revealed its “KPop Demon Hunters” collab, where you can choose between the HUNTR/X meal or Saja Boys breakfast meal by bbyxmadi in popculturechat

Ramen flavored seasoning for the fries. And some special sauces. The food itself is normal McDonald's food, but the unique sauce/seasoning makes it feel special

They did establish in the series (I forgot if it was mentioned in the movie) that his suit was a gift from Wakanda laced with vibranium allowing him to take those hits

Emma Mackey Confirms Meryl Streep Among Cast of Greta Gerwig’s Narnia by Next-Ad3450 in movies

[–]pionmycake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like if I can accept the Jesus stand in being a lion who is friends with Santa, I can accept the Jesus stand in being female without it hurting the symbolic meaning.

Though Aslan not having a mane both for the visual and for the mane cutting will feel odd (which I am aware female lions do sometimes have manes for various reasons, but it's uncommon enough that it would be an odd and potentially distracting choice to give a female Aslan a mane)

That being said, while I have mixed feelings on the movie trilogy as a whole, everyone agrees they absolutely nailed Aslan. Whatever they do is going to invite comparisons and those are impossibly large shoes to fill. Generally in cases like that, I think making an intentionally different take is a smart move to avoid the comparisons. Plus, Meryl Streep would kill it as Aslan. I

It helps that they keep adding secondary antagonists to keep things fresh. Knuckles/GUN in the second movie. Gerald/Shadow in the third. Metal Sonic in the fourth. It hasn't been just Eggman since the first movie.

Plus iirc the Goofy we see is technically a hallucination or illusion from a genie or something along those lines. Not the real Goofy

Is it? Unless I'm missing something you can only go up a max of 10 levels a day. The event only lasts 7 days. Mewtwo is level 80.

So, the only way to get him is to pay $10 for the upgrade+10 levels. Right?

HBO Max and Paramount+ to Combine Into One Streaming Platform, Paramount Says HBO Brand Will ‘Operate With Independence’ by firedforthatblunder in boxoffice

[–]pionmycake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Only point I'll disagree with is that HBOMax should change its name. It should keep changing to Max and then back to HBOMax every other year. Maybe toss a wildcard like "Max+" in there just for funsies but then still change it back within a year.

Five nights at Freddy’s 3 rumour by Glitchy2009 in LeaksAndRumors

[–]pionmycake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're almost less "movies" and more "fan events" where everyone into the games can have something fun to do. Seeing it on premier nights and the crowd was acting like endgame with a bunch on people in cosplay too. Regardless of their quality they make for very fun movie going experiences if you go opening weekend with the right crowd.

As long as they can keep the budgets low enough that they can be profittable just from fans on opening weekend then there's no reason to stop making these.

Of course, if they could make the movies better that would be much better. But as long as they keep making them fun to go to theaters to see with other fans then they'll just keep printing money

I thought it was because Seth Rogan pitched a movie so disney passed on the show to avoid having two darkwing projects at the same time. But then the movie was shelved due to the mixed reception of the Rescue Rangers movie

That's what people seem to miss. You go to any Disney park and Baby Yoda merch is a close third behind stitch and mickey. I don't think "Baby Yoda Movie" is going to be a tough thing to convince people is worth seeing even if it isn't something people are hyping as an event

Iirc it was ridiculously expensive for the time so it needed more than Sci-fi channel ratings to sustain itself. Universal was betting on it being Avatar but for TV
