Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.


tl;dr -- They're basically hemorrhaging out. The beast is starting to die, and the executives have finally realized and are panicking. There are also rumours that an anti-woke billionaire is basically trying to muscle his way in to take over the company like Musk did with Twitter, and that's causing them to panic even more.

Yup, allegedly Peltz aiming to restart the proxy fight from early this year again.

On another kick in the balls for the Rat, Universal is getting their own special taxing district
 
People who are in buisness, let me ask you somthing. Why are Disney not licensing the tar out of thier 2nd hand properties like marvel or Star wars. Like "We'll let you release this fan film into theaters and even help advertise it, if you give us a cut."

Why not create stuff like drive in theaters.

We used to have one, somehow it had been there since the 50s, I never liked it, but people loved going it closed in 2005.
 


Disney versus Comedy Central. They are taking on South Park. They are taking them to court.

The creators of South Park are experts in knowing what they can and cannot get away with regarding parodies in law. I mean, for fuck's sake they took on Scientology's lawyers, known for being as aggressive as Disney's, and they won. :ROFLMAO:

Since they've also got the backing of an entity that's got just as much money to burn as Disney? Yeah, Disney have no chance here, and all they're doing is shitting on their already tattered reputation even further.

"This gun be gud" meme.
 
The problem is that Kathleen Turner and Disney have really ruined "Star Wars."

Unless you cook up a story set far into the future then any other story, assuming one accepts the sequels as canon, can only lead to those disasters, complete with a crummy Luke Skywalker drinking green breast milk from some giant alien manatee.

The only way around it is to literally announce that the story rejects anything Disney has done.

If you want a good "Star Wars" story try "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" by Alan Dean Foster. It was written before "The Empire Strikes back" yet amazingly takes place on a swamp planet, and it's interesting to see how Foster expanded on The Force. It was also delightfully eerie at times.
 
It's only a RUMOR at the moment, but casting Michael B. Jordan (or even the basketball legend of Space Jam fame with the Hitler moustache) as Hercules would be a very stunning and brave choice.


The implications for later media would be profound. Just think of the next Cleopatra adaption. You say Cleopatra was Greek? Well guess what... Greeks, including their iconic Demigods and Heroes were Black. Checkmate Nazi!

Now,i wait for polish movies in which all our Kings and heroes are black,too.Including Kościuszko and Pułaski when they helped USA against british.
 
She-Hulk somehow cost $225 million dollars to make?

:oops:

This is in spite of the lead being only paid $50,000 an episode?

This is in spite of the writers whining about being paid less than $400 in residuals?

This is in spite of the show basically being a legal sitcom with nine twenty five minute episodes?

o_O

Variety said:
All the while, Marvel was bleeding money, with a single episode of "She-Hulk" costing some $25 million, dwarfing the budget of a final-season episode of HBO's "Game of Thrones, " but without a similar Zeitgeist bang.


Inside the Magic said:
Based on sources close to the production, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law had a reported budget of $25 million for a single episode, potentially totaling $225 million for the full nine-part season.


I "reviewed" the show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Thread in these Two Posts and I was impressed in how mediocre it was. I even said it was obviously



I even said She-Hulk was better than Loki in part because I thought the latter had an obviously bigger budget. That might not be true... LooooooooL

She-Hulk was so cheap. It was like a Sitcom... where did all of the money go? I read (and posted) that She-Hulk was plagued by lots of issues in production but I can't imagine the costs ballooning so much. I was shocked when Secret Invasion turned out to cost $200 million dollars to make. But She-Hulk? It looks like it has way lower production values.
 
Yikes.

I knew it was bad, but this bad? The MCU is decaying harder than a Russian's liver (Russian vodka not be a joke, yo) or an Englishman's teeth. :p

But seriously, Disney are in serious trouble. This type of financial mismanagement, and that's what it basically is, is a company-killer.

meanwhile FNAF on a 20 million budget the film has made enough money to finance 7 films and that's assuming they don't make a profit.

Seems to be the way for most things "small time" and "indie" these days, right down to music and game development.

Robocop: Rogue City, the guys behind Terminator: Resistance? That was made by an AA studio. Yeah, it's a bit unrefined, but it's a great fucking game that's pissing on what major, AAA studios and companies like Blizzard and EA are putting out.

We're seeing the same thing in the movie and media industry: People are preferring small time movie-makers and projects over massive Hollywood blockbusters because of so many reasons nearly impossible to list.

It warms my cold, dead heart to see indie and small time projects becoming more popular over corporate swill.
