like that producer who was adamant wild wild west had a giant mechanical spider. No real thought put into it, just do it cuz it seems cool

I recently watched Eyes of Laura Mars from the same producer and they took a John Carpenter giallo-style script and then shoehorned in a corny love story. it just barely avoids sabotaging the entire flick (you can tell it's one of those decisions where the love story element *just had to be there no matter what* and they weren't sure how to implement it when a new writer was brought in). the movie is still very good. I dunno, Jon Peters has a solid track record. Wild Wild West is awful tho

the Hyenas mistake was choosing a ruler from the existing regime's bloodline for legitimacy reasons instead of ousting the lions from power altogether

I keep saying, Scar's only policy change was letting the hyenas (undesirables, foreigners, outsiders) into the Pride Lands and that completely destroys it somehow, it's a very fascistic narrative

people in foreign countries really should think of immigrants to the united states this way given how many of them end up working in lovely jobs that either overwork them to death or dont even use their degree

that everyone thinks moving to the united states means like becoming a doctor rather than working in a massage parlor is testament to just how insanely good our propaganda is in regard to immigration

honestly I always feel like the "we should have POC in these stock Eurofantasy settings" stuff usually approaches it in a weird way where there's like an Asian guy but he's dressed up like a stock English peasant and lives in a wattle-and-daub cottage. It says to me that whatever the equivalent of Europe here is so culturally dominant that there's not even a trace of any other culture in the setting. This is what Brits probably imagined they were doing to India and places like that.
yeah, it is essentially transposing the idea that the natural evolution of the world is becoming a multi-racial mono-cultural america, unto a eurofantasy setting, replacing white supremacy with "white culture" supremacy

the non-lazy, non-supremacist approach to having a multi-racial cast, would be to just move your story out of an area inspired by the backwater regions of backwater countries in a backwater continent. or just have some characters not fit in, because they're not from the place the story takes place in and it is in fact ok to be an immigrant?

that little mermaid take is especially not out there because its also basically describing the entirity of the appeal of bridgerton the show that posits a version of colonialism that wasnt bad because black people were also exploiting black slave labor

its legit wild how much woke rhetoric these days literally just boils down to an unironic version of the south park flag
