Shadow Hog posted:Space Jam is canon to Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, though, so if Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden is canon (as we know it is, since it warns you of as much when you start), it follows that Space Jam itself is also canon. The canonical Space Jam, which is often referred to in academia as Space Jam′ (pronounced "Space Jam Prime) or the Ur Space Jam, is only known to exist from ancient manuscripts that refer to it and the few fragments that have been discovered with the recession of the dead sea waters. So while there is (or at least, was) a canonical Space Jam, we sadly no longer have access to the text. Tuxedo Catfish posted:Lots of these movies could be well-served by live action if it were a conscious attempt to exploit the freakishness of talking animals and poke fun at the insidious "naturalism" of Disney's world, but that movie probably isn't going to come from Disney. Once again, the movie being described here is Shrek.

Das Boo posted:I know what day it is, but lesbian Simba would be better since it wouldn't require them removing essentially the only girl in the movie. (Sarabi has what, four lines?) I have real mixed thoughts about this for this very reason. While a greater inclusion of non-hetero characters is certainly good, all things being equal, I have the suspicion that Disney made this without giving greater thought to how it effects the work as a whole or what message it sends. In this case, making Simba gay would seem to come at the expense of Nala's already small purpose in the storyline, suggesting some sort of intrinsic net minority count. This is all assuming the new movie sticks as closely to the old as the live action BatB stuck to the animated original.

Waffleman_ posted:Like I know birds are basically dinosaurs, but I thought that was a weird evolution thing. That's mostly unrelated. Dinosaurs genuinely have several differences from reptiles. I joked about ankles, but what's actually the most visible difference is that dinosaurs have legs beneath their bodies (which you see with mammals, such as cows, dogs, etc) while reptiles have legs besides their bodies (see: turtles, crocodiles, lizards, all non-snake reptiles).

plz dont pull out posted:Dinosaurs (which birds are nested within) are archosaurian reptiles along with crocodilians. While they have a bunch of derived characters that distinguish them from other groups of reptiles like lepidosaurs (lizards) and turtles, they're still nested within that grouping. While that is all factual, having the categories be that broad is not necessarily useful. Dinosaurs (and birds, and mammals) have notable differences from reptiles that make such a distinction informative. Conflating them together is rarely helpful.

The movie will be about her finding her true parents, and in the end she will learn the lesson that Anna is her true family because of love. And then we all vomit and Disney makes all the money. That... that actually could be good. It'd also make Anna queen and therefore be a movie without princesses.

Cockmaster posted:That was almost me, but somehow I managed to finish Kingom Hearts 2. Two and a half hours of vapid dialogue, thoroughly forgettable characters, gratuitous fetch quests, and mindless minigames before you get to any gameplay recognizable as a Kingdom Hearts game. Who the gently caress thought that was a good idea? Kingdom Hearts is squarely and expertly aimed at the 13-year-old demographic. This isn't to claim that it's good, but there are very real reasons why Square-Enix and Disney thought it was a good idea.

Cockmaster posted:It's kinda bad form in general to assume that players have played any of the previous games in a given series, let alone games spanning multiple systems. Especially if your target demographic isn't exactly swimming in disposable income - any 13 year old who isn't the very model of a spoiled rich kid is unlikely to own all that hardware. I think that might be the point. The reason for all the spin offs and side stories is that those games are largely unconnected from the games that come before them and from the games that follow--playing all the previous games isn't necessary for them, and playing them isn't necessary for playing later games. The whole conceit of all that those games being ostensibly necessary for the understanding the full franchise is largely marketing. The plot of Kingdom Hearts 1 is continued in 2 and then into 3D. You don't really need the other 50 games, unless you want to play them.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Disney sucks but holy poo poo their reasoning is so bad I'm almost tempted to go over to the other side just out of spite. What do you disagree with? Their reasoning basically breaks down to, "Disney is removing all the nuance from these traditional stories to better market them," which seems pretty uncontroversial.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:God the original sleeping beauty is such an awful mess. Not only does the prince rape and impregnate sleeping beauty instead of kissing her, when she wakes up it turns out the prince is actually a king because he's already married. The queen gets jealous of the kings rape victim and her babies and tries to have them killed, but she fucks it up and the king ends up killing the queen instead. So, now that the kings gross old wife is dead he's free to marry his hot rape victim. Imagine being familiar with that story before every watching the Disney film, and then watching the film and seeing that the rapist King is now unambiguously good?

A Wizard of Goatse posted:you're literally thirty or something and still telling yourself the "I'm brilliant, just too lazy to be accomplished" story It is my experience that it is entirely possible to do that in high school, at least in the Ohio public school district I attended. In my case, depression and anxiety issues began to heavily interfere with my academics (so it's less I chose not to do the work and more I couldn't do it), but I still passed most of my courses (barely) because tests counted for such a large percentage of my grade. It's kind of weird reading everyone's school experiences, because over a five year period I went from straight A teacher's pet, to being derided by my teachers for being "brilliant but lazy" (which was a significant source of depression for a long while: if I was so brilliant then why couldn't I do the work?), to drat nearly dropping out. Robindaybird posted:It's way more common than you think. I went to a high school that graded exams and the loving State assessment test so heavily that just passing those will get you a C or C+ grade, which isn't great but enough to let you graduate. Oh, poo poo, I forgot about State Assessment Tests. My school advisor was legitimately distressed by the discrepancy between my high grades on the Proficiency Tests compared to my actual school grades. Ohio had a thing where public schools got more compensation from the state based on how well the average student scored on those tests, and apparently my district was trying very hard to find some correlation between the classes and teachers students had and how well they scored on their Proficiency Tests. The handful of students who did well on the tests but poorly in class completely hosed up their calculations. Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 19:22 on May 1, 2017 |

K. Waste posted:This has reminded me that ever since that NFBC animation marathon on TCM, it really disappoints me that all of the "Cars takes place after a human apocalypse" chat never leads to anyone posting the magnificent What On Earth! (1966), so let's fix that, now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFaHArkYLsM That's a fantastic video. It's interesting how long the concept of "living cars" (and anatomical speculation of them) has been around. From a distance, cars really can seem to move under their own device. The fact that they don't is almost incongruous.

K. Waste posted:Lo & Behold very briefly touches upon the subject of whether or not the first machines to develop full artificial intelligence will be motor-vehicles, specifically because they will not only demonstrate the most autonomy, but require the most rigorous ethical programming (deciding, in cases of unavoidable property damage or casualty, what is the 'lesser of two evils,' etc.). It really reminded me of an observation I read in the Transformers thread where someone (hell, it might have been you) pointed out that when the alien transformers came to Earth, they scanned Earth media and identified luxury cars as the highest social strata. There's a fear, not only of machines eventually becoming more valuable than human lives, but of not recognizing it when it happens.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:2009 was an age ago. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit and youtube were still fairly new, Instagram was still 3 years away, the most popular memes were Xzibit and Ceiling Cat, the rage comics and advice animals memes had only just been invented, Bronies didn't exist yet and Furries were still frowned on by almost everyone. I'm not quite convinced. I don't think the film Avatar was would have benefited from how the internet has changed. Facebook, Reddit and all might have been new, but they existed, and other places to discuss films existed before then. It's not that the film isn't still being discussed the way other properties are because the internet failed it--the fact that other properties are being discussed is proof enough of that. It's not like fan artists didn't exist before Tumblr, or that fan communities didn't exist before Reddit. I think it's ultimately that the film was just doesn't really have a lot to discuss, and that wouldn't change just because the internet has.

ungulateman posted:It's pretty much the anime equivalent of Starship Troopers, in terms of 'the world is constructed such that fascist ideology is correct'. I don't know if the dude is legitimately sincere about it or if he's making a point like Verhoeven was, since I haven't watched all that much of it, but it's kinda uncomfortable. It's true that, a lot of powerful people and the government are fascist, but a large part of the story is challenging that ideology. That's why I'm curious if there is any evidence if Hajime Isayama (the mangaka) is a "right-wing nutter." I've heard a lot of people claim that he is, but when pressed it usually comes down to, "he wrote Attack on Titan, he must be a nutter!" Without spoiling anything, recent developments in the series make that much more questionable. If he's actually said what his political viewpoints somewhere I'd be interested in hearing them.
