Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
Disney's putting a movie in theaters that looks like it was DTV years ago.

When I saw a trailer for that in the theater a while back I thought it was a tie in with a Disney Channel show.

Even more damning, it's generic twice over -- boilerplate Disney musical adventure in visuals and plot, standard Marvel quipathon in writing and character voice. There's a near-literal "that just happened" gag, ferchrissakes. Blech.

I think they even made the visuals even more standard Disney stuff compared to some earlier footage.

I'd only seen clips and trailers for Wish on my phone until just now. On a small screen, I couldn't even see the linework and thought it just looked cheap and plain, rather than an attempt to capture a watercolor style.

But there's no defending the bland design, lighting, and color. Some shots just look plain bad, the Queen in particular.

I just watched Coco and Encanto with my kids, so I guess this was always destined to look like a huge turd in comparison. I see that this is co-directed by one of the co-directors of Frozen 1 and 2, which suffer from a similar blandness problem

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And I'm not afraid to die.

The latest episode of the Q-Anon Anonymous podcast goes into it, along with some info about another creep who was part of OUR. The Mormon Church has also distanced themselves from the Sound of Freedom guy after he started to make some claims about support from one of the higher ups.

Unfortunately the kind of people who went to the movie are also the kind of people who will be convinced he’s being persecuted for his good work, by (((THOSE PEOPLE))).

How many movies are there where the heroes trick the villain into admitting he’s evil, and all his supporters drop him when they see what he’s really like? Because it turns out in reality that doesn’t work.

It's been said a lot for these people, truth and consistency don't actually matter, and are in fact considered annoying distractions and/or traps for idiots, the point is to signal in-group status and present excuses to scapegoat out-groups.

They already think that a “rogue spokesman” of the Mormon Church is responsible for the elder denouncing him, but the governor of Utah of all people, who is a Republican Mormon, has now gotten involved on the side of endorsing that the church actually has denounced the movie guy. Especially because the movie guy is planning to run for Romney’s Senate seat. Utah politics are very weird even by the standards of the typical one-party theocracy politics of most red states.

No I didn’t like this movie at all! It wasn’t funny and was stupid. Adam Sandler comedies are horrific.

Tbf pretty much every single BTS article claims that all of the homophobia in that movie was 100% Adam Sandler's fault.
