I don't think any of that contradicts what I said.

Yeah I guess it doesn't. The wording "the hero who inspired the toy" just made my brain go to "inspired by real events" world instead of "the franchise the toy is based off of."

edit: Anyway it's interesting to see it presented like an actual Star Wars with real cinematography and all. Feels very meta.

It's just business.

When I first saw the title I read it as Bayonetta. Then I saw the still image and thought, "Wow! Verhoeven directing a Bayonetta movie. That's awesome!" After my disappointment, I realized that I really need Verhoeven to do a Bayonetta movie. That would be hilariously awesome.

Never give an inch! Hnnnghhhhhh!
The only way Lightyear is any good is if the Toy Story of it all is only 1% of it to appease the suits and otherwise it's completely its own thing.

But probably every single feature and voicebox line the Buzz Lightyear toy has will get its own wink-wink moment and the villain will be some robot named S.I.D, and before too long passing movie posters on the escalator at AMC will be like entering an infinite regress of Cinematic Universes.

Lightyear is the movie a divorced Andy takes his bored kids to on visitation weekend, then gets disappointed that they're not into it.

I know that the WoT series has a devoted fanbase that insists that the story has a lot of depth and colour but holy poo poo that looks so cheap and generic. It basically reads like a blander LotR with a female Gandalf and goat orcs.

It's gonna have a lot of heavy lifting to do to draw in mass audiences. At least GoT had the intrigue and tiddies going for it.

I want to give Scott the benefit of the doubt because The Last Duel was really good (I can't believe how hard it bombed!), but listening to the bad accents in this for two hours seems like a pretty insufferable experience.

Ok well it looks like I wasn't the only one that misinterpreted the Lightyear synopsis!

I'd like to say this makes me feel better, but instead just makes me feel on par with an average Kotaku reader and now I feel worse.

It's just some mild confusion based on the language used in various marketing tweets and the trailer synopsis.

For instance Chris Evans said: "And just to be clear, this isn’t Buzz Lightyear the toy. This is the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on" And the other materials make the same mentions.



"This is the human that Buzz is based off of" is weird language and just triggers the kneejerk "based on true events" style interpretation that my brain defaulted to.

If you say "this is the action blockbuster that inspired the line of toys" or something like that, it makes it obvious.

But "this is the origin story of the person that inspired the toy" makes it sound like you're talking about a real (in the TS universe) person.
