It's easier to list what Fox stuff Disney doesn't own now which I believe is only Fox News and Fox Sports.

Next week on The Orville: The Orville is sent to make a deal with 6 plucky space adventurers to retrieve an artifact that will mean peace between two long warring civilizations. The obly question is can they trust this Star Lord and his companions.

I doubt Disney will change much, if anything. Besides, they seem pretty good about "getting" things and not loving them up. God knows they did a gently caress sight better than George Lucas when it came to figuring out what new Star Wars movies should be like.

Let's not go crazy. They did a better job in the way a cargo cult makes something more like an old classic airbase than a modern military making a lovely airbase.

Unkempt posted:Years ago I used to know a guy who was very into gender politics and one of the things he used to talk about was how phallic many structures designed by men were; towers, skyscrapers, that sort of thing, and very few were shaped like the female genitals. But he also talked about rockets, which I thought was absurd - because how on earth could you make a spaceship in the shape of a vagina? How would that even work? The Royal Navy managed it. Here's a photo of HMS Repulse under construction during WW1. It's a striking combination of yonnic and phallic imagery.

As someone who lives in Taiwan, let me tell you guys that governmental policy debates here do occasionally look like the Kirk/Gorn episode. I really feel like I missed out during my years living in the U.S. It's not real democracy until punches have been thrown.

Disney just kind of turns everything into a competently made franchise gruel of the Marvel variety, where nothing is offensively bad. A bunch of good guys who quip nonstop fight a big CGI thing and learn the value of friendship. There is no dramatic tension because the characters never stop spouting one liners, even when something important should be happening.

Pointing out that they make superhero comic book-based movies which a bunch of ultimately inconsequential action dreck with predictable plots and little dramatic tension really isn't a criticism of my position that Disney "gets" the franchises it controls and what makes them what they are in the way you think it might be.

Making Deadpool more friendly wouldn't surprise me. There were a endless amounts of people super angry because they couldn't bring their kids to see Deadpool because it was rated R.

My buddy brought his 8-year-old daughter to see it and was just like, "oh well, I guess that was a mistake! Don't tell mom, and don't quote that movie at school, sweetie." Who actually gets pissed off about something like that? We all nearly pissed ourselves laughing about it.

Mantis42 posted:I think Star Wars is basically heading down the same path and I'm salty It really depends on The Last Jedi. ANH was very much that way, TFA followed in the same spirit to a ridiculous degree (perhaps worthy of criticism for just how close it followed) and Rogue One wasn't really like that at all, but it was also constrained because everyone already knew what the endpoint of the film was anyway. Cojawfee posted:The kind of person who thinks comic book = kids so every comic book related thing must be for kids. I get why people make the mistake of taking their kid to see Deadpool, I don't get why it would be a cause for getting pissed off instead of laughing about an embarrassing, stupid mistake.

Even a single trailer would be enough to know Deadpool wasn't kid friendly, and they had a marketing blitz, everywhere, telling everyone how filthy the movie would be. Like... drat.

Do you guys live in the US? Ignorant parents love to not know what their kids are doing and then get mad at anyone other than themselves for allowing it to happen.

This sounds like a serious problem, if only movies had some sort of system for letting parents have a hint regarding their content or age-appropriateness.

I got maybe spoiled by someone’s red text in another thread, so there are definitely assholes around here trying to ruin it for everyone because they’re assholes. You should probably just avoid the Internet, really.

Usually Fyad has a big spoiler in it's forum name. I thought it was a joke a couple years ago, but it wasn't. So just stick to bookmarks until you see the movie.
