Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Yeah, there's a web-famous article from a few years ago that broke it all down and how, because of being able to sell a big budget movie to various distributors around the globe, a $100 million movie like Tomb Raider is a safer bet than $20 million movie like Sideways I assume this works even better if you can convince your foreign distributors to just straight up pre-fund your production.

Last I heard, MLP was a billion dollar brand for Hasbro. You may not hear much about the show anymore, but parents still buy the toys.

My son even watched it the other day when he was trying to pick a show on Netflix. He's only 4 though so it didn't hold his interest at all, I think it's intended more for 8-10 year olds. Yet he'll watch 20 Teen Titans Go in a row if I let him

Is the MLP show still going? We're vastly approaching a time fans will be nostalgic for the MLP revival. I don't like the idea of people being nostalgic for things that happened after I left high school. I don't like feeling old. Stop it.

It's still huge with children. If you have little girls and you let them socialize with other little girls, your life inevitably becomes an inescapable vortex of Disney princesses, ponies, and Shopkins.

It's pretty common for children's cartoons to have references to age inappropriate stuff, which is fine as long as it's kept age appropriate in the show. The aforementioned MLP has an episode that's an extended homage to Apocalypse Now.

Teen Titans Go is great just because of how angry it makes people for not being mature like the last Teen Titans show.

VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE posted:I assume this works even better if you can convince your foreign distributors to just straight up pre-fund your production. It worked for CBS! Netflix bought the foreign distribution rights to the new Star Trek series sight-unseen, completely funding its production costs. CBS got paid and is using the series to promote their own premium streaming service while Netflix is still waiting to distribute a series that's been plagued by production delays and the loss of its showrunner.

For me at least now that my daughter is a little older, she has decided to move on more to Ninja Turtles and Five Nights at Freddy's.

Teen Titans GO is entertaining in its own right for how batshit it can be and what it seems to get away with. Like, the last episode I watched with my kids was a competition between Robin and Kid Flash to be the first to stop 52 crimes. Santa Claus sings a song about how teammates are garbage. Robin wins by going full Tonya Harding and breaking Kid Flash's knee. Final shot is Kid Flash crippled and crying in pain.

The aforementioned MLP has an episode that's an extended homage to Apocalypse Now. TTG takes it to a wonderfully absurd degree where not only do they go out their way to never learn lessons but a lot of episodes end with everyone dying. It really is just a giant troll where everyone involved is having a great time. Also Weird Al Darkseid best Darkseid.

Al Borland Corp. posted:Yeah, I just would think it would be over his 4 year old head. It's a lot of slapstick and extreme facial reactions, that and the episodes being half as long as MLP are probably what he digs. Kids that young don't have the attention span for longer narratives. There's a reason Teletubbies episodes were literally a ten minute thing, and then the exact same ten minute thing all over again. Blues Clues would do the same thing by showing the same episode 5 days in a row, so kids could solve the mystery themselves. You should completely corrupt him by showing him Ten and Stimpy.

Points against: labor laws make the shooting schedule more difficult Points for: they are cheaper than stars and aren't going to be in a position to demand points off gross or whatever Was the last major kid's adventure film starring kids that JJ Abrams one with the alien escaping a train?

I guess, it's just weird to me that humanity circa 1995 would go see Home Alone or Little Rascals or whatever and now we don't. I suppose the main thing is that pretty much every major release now is supposed to be four quadrant and play well in Brazil. Edit: Fair point about JW having significant kid screentime!

I remember for Winter Soldier they had kids reenacting scenes from it for Target commercials. They should do a whole movie of that. Just take a comic book movie from the previous year and make a shot for shot remake with kids. You don't have to worry about cutting out adult situations or anything because the original movies probably already did that! I believe John Waters was working on something like this for Pink Flamingos, though he had a lot more necessary edits of course.

Decades from now no one but a select few will remember that Jai Courtney era, something I'll always be able to say I lived through. Makes you think. Funny part is you could just as easily be talking about Clarke.

It's not a remake per se, but it's up your alley and fascinating.

I really want to know if the burnt-up corporal's flashback to South Carolina being under attack by Russian superweapons straight out of Red Alert was his base reality or the River God temporarily shuffling him to a reality that was experiencing a Russian invasion of the CONUS. Also, it reminded me a lot of an old Marvel comic, the Nth Man, where the ultimate assassin faces off against his brother, a reality-manipulating psychic, with a conventional WW3 as the background (because the psychic reality-shifter took all the world's nuclear weapons).
