Disney's sole job now is basically to gobble up IP's, wring as much money as possible out of them, and then cast them off to the side once they're no longer as possible.

One of the best examples of this was probably Tron 2. The company axed development of Tron 3 because, even though Tron 2 did well at the box office according to their projections, the accompanying line of toys and cartoon spinoff didn't make them enough money. So, instead of just maybe just cutting the budget a bit they cut the whole drat movie.

It's amazing to think that in the grand scheme of time it wasn't that long ago (late 80s???) that Disney nearly axed its animation division because of the power of Don Bluth, and their one television channel wasn't on the air all day because there wasn't enough Disney content available to run it 24/7.

You dont cast the IP aside, you put it on a shelf for 20-30 years until the nostalgia cycle makes it viable again.

They are apparently stopping theaters from being able to show some older Fox titles like the original Alien, which I don't understand

Disney owned the Tron IP the whole time so I dont know that that one really counts as gobbling up.

Part of what killed Tron as a property is that Disney was eying that as a way of capturing the young/teen male demographic which had traditionally eluded them but then Disney bought Marvel while Tron Legacy was in production (and then later got Star Wars) so you dont really need Tron anymore.

the thing about tron legacy as a movie is that it's dumb and the color scheme is extremely, EXTREMELY overdone, but it's presented so well it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllmost doesn't matter.

The fact that people are still accidentally going to Deadspin when their fingers forget that it's dead is going to convince G/O that they don't actually need to have any new content and really should just fire all of their writers and set up a bot to update the dates on the stories so they look new. Sure, you lose most of your traffic, but you have basically no overhead AND you've crushed a union which will help you get more employment from other rich people later!

There were competing companies able to monetize it. now that consumerism has devoured even the counter-culture completely, there's no profit to be made in pretending we're not all part of the horde.
