Whatever fandom gets up to doesn’t really bother me, but presenting it in anything official or official adjacent always makes me uncomfortable. Seems like there’s easier ways to thank your fans without adding a weird shame layer to it.

I dunno, I laughed when Helluva Boss called out their fanbase.

Went to Target today and got to see an example what an enormous swing-and-miss Wish was for Disney. An entire section of the toy department filled with untouched merchandise from that movie.

I think if Mufasa and a couple of the other already greenlit Disney remakes do well, we'll see more of them. But Disney has a new head of live action and when new executives come in they usually like to kill the babies of the former exec, and the former exec was the guy who shepherded through all these live action remakes. So if one of these flops I could see the exec taking that as a chance to make his own impression at the company. The future of the live action remakes are already on thin ice after Peter Pan and Wendy and Pinnochio being flops, and Little Mermaid making half of Lion King's gross.

My dream scenario is they stop with the remakes and greenlight a bunch of original fantasy stories that are also vfx heavy but not so beholden to previous stories.

I was sure heads would roll after the colossal Indiana Jones flop, but it seems nothing is going to come of that, so if DIsney hasn't done anything about their movie division yet I fear it'll never happen.
