Other Random question of the day

[Idea]

Is there a place where you can talk about manga?

This isn't the right place to ask those kinds of questions. However, since I'm answering anyway, I might as well tell you that you can talk about that in the pop-culture subforum.

Random question of the day:

Why does Disney keep making trashy live action remakes of their classic movies as well as making trashy Marvel shows knowing that people hate them every time?

Because they know people will watch, even if they’re hated.

Also… greed

 

[Kaiju Cat]

They don’t care since people will still watch their movies and they’re greedy.

 

[Inno]

They have the money to do as they please. There are people that will watch the movies and those that are complaining, the crowd in an UPROAR over the Little Mermaid, they'll still watch the movies too. Disney doesn't care.

It’s obviously for the money. Most of their movies now are soulless, ‘woke’ live action remakes.

I actually watched the pinocchio remake yesterday, and man is disney falling off. It doesn’t even look good. The CGI just can’t mix with the live action. There were like... Two things I liked which were Honest John (Who in my opinion, looks pretty good in the film alongside Gideon!) and the Pleasure Island design. Even though they toned down the themes in said island, like taking out the beer and cigarettes and replacing them with mean teenagers holding signs saying ‘shut up looser’.

And Figaro just looks… Weird.

And they ruined the Donkey Scene. The darned Donkey Scene! It used to terrorize me when I was a kid, and it just looks bad. The teen’s acting didn’t really seem convincing.

Plus, the raceswapping of the Blue Fairy didn’t hit me right. Just straight up switching races of a character isn’t the inclusivity we’re all hoping to see.

Pinocchio never seems to get punished, and the ’no lie’ moral was ruined in a scene.

+ Jokes didn’t land, but I did chuckle at the ‘chris pine’ joke. + ratio + live action remake + cope

Random question of the day:

What real life event was the biggest waste of time (In your opinion)?

Random question of the day:

What real life event was the biggest waste of time (In your opinion)?

the long-term relationship I had after my ex-husband. At least my ex was just two years of my life. But the boyfriend I had after him was almost 7 years of my younger life that could have been better spent with someone else, or multiple someone elses (Or even if I had stayed single, tbh). That's all in the past though, as I'm remarried and have a kiddo, now.

Changing Comic con’s ticket system to a lottery it didn’t make a difference to me just over priced.

That eight movies (it's eight, right?) and twenty years later, and I still don't care about it. lol

 

[Kaiju Cat]

The franchise taught me that Ron was done dirty in the movies and downgraded from a bad ass character in the books to comic relief.

Accurate. He was my favorite of the trio too.

I would go back in time and change shit for free. But like Sinatra, I'll do it my way.

Nope

Yeah, sure.

No.
Money shouldn’t be a motivation for such a thing.

Random question of the day:

Do you ever start musing about things when you're not occupied with other things?

 

[Murdergurl]

Random question of the day:

All the time. My brain is never quiet. It's one of the reasons I could never understand meditation. Clear my mind, what???

 

[Onmyoji]

Yes, even though I'm rarely not occupied with other things. Sometimes it makes me distracted.

 

[vada]

Always. It’s almost impossible for my brain to shut off.
