But how is comrade supposed to not walk on the fish, it's all over the place and he has his hands full/attention occupied. That big red hand is a dick.

Since 2015. Looks like Blumhouse is now involved? And it might actually get made someday? (Narrator: “It won’t”)

Railing Kill posted:I love that scene because it's clear that Brian Jacques just wants to show off how much he loves food. There's no point to it, and it happens so early that it doesn't interrupt anything. It's just, "Hey gang. You know what's fuckin' great? Baked goods." iirc, he wrote it at least partly for blind kids, so he included a lot of non-visual descriptors that they could still imagine

Been living under a rock over the past month due to COVID family woes, haven't kept up with anything pop culture related for a few months.

Hopefully they realized it too was bad so we stop hearing about the sorting hat or whatever bullshit. Getting real embarrassed for mid 30s mother fuckers talking about what it means to be a hufflepuff with tears in their eyes

Harry Potter was never actually good. I never got why it exploded. I was the right age for it, at the time, but I was like "this is no different to Enid Blyton or Emily Rodda or David & Leigh Eddings or Dragonlance".

Hyperlynx posted:Harry Potter was never actually good. I mean it was good enough get Universal to create a highly popular theme park so somebody's buying what those books are selling. This is a lot of info to take in. Don't really have a dog in this fight but can you really cancel an entire multi-media franchise with an edict? Maybe she'll come around in a few months and make an apology to quell the masses so she can keep the greenback royalty train pulling in the station, seems like too big a franchise to get cancelled so quicky.

You may be surprised. Ask kids today (18 and under) if they read Harry Potter and you will get maybe one or two out of ten. It doesn’t have as much longevity as you would think. In fact, ask kids about Star Wars and they say the same thing. Yes, I know the sequel trilogy were financially successful but you may be surprised to find that most moviegoers are adults, not youth. And then you might say ‘but the toys section in the store suggests otherwise’ and when you realize that playing/buying the toys are independent from fandom and watching the films (or reading books), take also into consideration the size of the isle that also has WWE action figures or Barbie. The fact that there is a theme park attraction doesn’t mean it is widespread knowledge or people who go are all fans. poo poo, Disney and Universal are filled with movie reference rides—are you saying that dining at the Magic Kingdom Cinderella Castle means you have watched Cinderella 20 times and know all about the story? Or the King Kong ride at Universal? Or the ET ride? dialhforhero has a new favorite as of 15:03 on Jul 2, 2020 |

Are Disney comic books even published in the USA anymore? I mean sure the old cartoons are probably re-run on some paid channel constantly (or not, I wouldn't know) but seems to me like Mickey Mouse for the average American kid is more known from just being Mickey Mouse than any actual content.

Quite a lot of Harry Potter fans are upset with her and don’t like her anymore, but I don’t think many of them are changing their opinions of the series as a whole because of this. Someone compared Rowling to Morrissey. There are plenty of Smiths fans who wish that guy would shut his mouth forever.

I remember an animated MAD TV thing where Mickey Mouse was talking petulantly to some kids and talking about how he's one of the most well known and beloved comedy characters in history, and the kids were like "Wait — you were supposed to be funny??" e: ^^ those things are fuckin legit though Data Graham has a new favorite as of 15:16 on Jul 2, 2020 |

Bismuth posted:Who the gently caress likes mickey mouse outside of kingdom hearts? Disney treating Mickey Mouse like the fine china they never use unless the Pope comes to visit has backfired pretty badly; everything he's in is either an obscure one-off or focus-grouped mediocrity so he's just a nothing character now. They won't even let him appear in new DuckTales. (which is rad btw) I'd say Mario has well replaced him in pop culture prominence.
