edogawa rando posted:Are you suggesting people don't like to see themselves represented in the media they consume? I mean I made that point already in my last post about why, no I don't need to see rote representation with no substance done as marketing ploy by loving Disney of all companies with the bit about Lilos sister. But you seemed to ignore that part for some reason. Just like I didn't like being used to earn points with the dumbest liberals online with the lightyear lesbians or the guy literally named The Fool having one line about having a crush on Gastonm ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Jul 18, 2023 |

I never liked Pacific Rim that much because the main character is bland, and the cooler characters just die instantly when the actual action of the movie starts. Nice fights tho. 16-bit Butt-Head posted:the bare minimum and if your gay or trans they'll cut all your scenes out for foreign markets and if your black they'll try to downplay your role on the movie posters lol Or they shut down an entire studio to avoid gay representation.

NorgLyle posted:I think that's my big thing with the Disney remakes (and with remakes in general); why would you try to remake something that is already considered a classic? Why not remake something that didn't do as well as you wanted the first time and try to punch it up and make it stronger?

it's just a bizarre argument all round because outside of lovely genre brand movies, media made by and representive of people who are not white/cis/male are getting mainstream acclaim and hype in a level I've never seen before. the most hype action movie was RRR (had an Oscar performance), one of the best TV shows on right now is Beef (13 emmys), Parasite... (won best picture). And on, and on. isn't it far more exciting to have that version of representation getting love and attention for its quality then some dogshit Marvel Star War?

I remember wondering a while back what Disney was going to do when they ran out of old animations to remake in live-action. Then they announced the live-action Moana remake and I guess that answered that question. They ain’t gonna run out of this poo poo anytime soon if they start remaking stuff they just released a few years ago!

Eventually they’ll loop back around to doing Beauty and the Beast again, only this time it’ll take place in the metaverse with all the scripts being AI-generated and acted out by some of Zuck’s creepy legless avatars. Welcome to the future of entertainment!

If I've gotta choose my representation between animated black characters, I'll take Black Dynamite and any character modeled to look like Samuel L. Jackson over 'POC turned into an animal for 82% of the movie' because some Disney exec had a coke binge and decided 'pigeon gets stuck in a nuclear suitcase' was an idea that needed to be bought for 8 million dollars so now we have Spies in Disguise and Will Smith is a pigeon.Bakeneko posted:Eventually they’ll loop back around to doing Beauty and the Beast again, only this time it’ll take place in the metaverse with all the scripts being AI-generated and acted out by some of Zuck’s creepy legless avatars. Thanks to Ublock I don't many ads so I didn't realize there had been a 2017 Spider-Man cartoon that turned everyone into tech glitches. https://twitter.com/Fenrirtheicewo1/status/1680143600133500928 This is to say that this is the future of Disney remakes. The next Aladdin movie in 2027 will have Jaffar using a mind control ring on the sultan and he'll need some kind of Chaos Emerald to provide him power to be something like a genie at the end.

They use real toys with green faces and just cut and paste the actors onto them. Imagine, an entire movie with faces that look like Wesley Snipes' eyes in Blade Trinity.

I'm sure some people would subscribe to that thought process, but many others would say something along the lines of how you shouldn't just accept the absolute trash that big corps are throwing out in the name of representation. Especially when there is actual good suff out there (often made by minorities themselves!) to appreciate instead. Almost like groups of people aren't a monolith or something lol

For me, it's more fun to see racist white fanboys show their rear end than to actually watch the film. Nothing that film has can match it.

Archer666 posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeMadjM0ZZI Good description: "Mike, Jay, and Rich Evans have returned again to the black void. Their reason today? To talk about a new huge summer blockbuster movie? No. Quite the opposite. They was gonna talk about Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning 2: Dead Reckoning 1, BUT they thought… how many times can one see Tom Cruise do stints? No, this day Mike, Jay, and Rich have returned to the black void to talk about “Watchbait” the movie version of “Clickbait”. Trash that has overrun a once great institution like Tubi. And before you ask, no we wasn’t compensated by Tubi to promote these films. We were just browsing about and saw a trend. A trend of using certain words or phrases in a title to get one to click on their junk film to watch it, only to realize after a few minutes they made the worst mistake of their lives. This particular video wasn’t a Half in the Bag. Nor was it a re:View. Nor was it a Best of the Worst. I guess it could have been a “Talks About” video, but nah. We made a new show called “Beyond the Black Void” and if you ever see one of these again, it’s just Mike, Jay and Rich Evens talking about something of interest. In solidarity with the WGA and SAG/AFTRA strike we decided to talk about movies that in no way whatsoever could have possibly been made under any conceivable union agreement. In fact, I’d be shocked if one of these pictures weren’t some kind of nudie snuff film. Maybe that’s why Jay “downloaded all of them on his dark web server” whatever that means. And yes, it’s 100% true, we did just spring this whole thing on Rich Evans. I rang him up on my landline to tell him to come to the studio. Well, actually I left a message on his answering machine. He showed up coming from the gym where’s he’s done many power squats and asked me “What we shootin’ Mike?” and I tell him to sit down and shut up you poo poo-for-brains. He sits down, but there is an immediate squish sound. It would appear that Rich had soiled his large diaper. He claimed he didn’t know. He insisted he ONLY wears a diaper when he does power squats at the gym. 1. it helps stifle the sound of any accidental fart release, but also for… you know what. An accidental Hershey squirt. This is apparently what happened. Luckily a very large toddler had died outside our building and I was able to provide Rich Evans with replacement clothing. A lot went into this video. So please, enjoy."
