Love to direct films without any concept of what it means to be a "crowd pleaser".

I felt like there were articles about how much people loved babu frik out before the movie itself was out. Needless to say, didn’t feel very organic

whenever Babu Frik's not onscreen, all the other characters should be asking "is Babu Frik dead?"

The one good joke in that movie and they had to outsource it to Ben Schwartz to nail it.

Porgs were legitimately the best thing in TLJ.

I appreciate why porgs exist and I think it's a clever solution to the puffin problem. I loving hate how much they are pushed as merch, though.

Disney tried to push back on the phrase “baby yoda” iirc, in favor of The Child

nine-gear crow posted:God, just when I thought Rise of Skywalker couldn't get any retroactively worse 1) JJ Abrams is a directorial coward and both his films have characters who died in script hastily saved, I completely get why Disney hired him now 2) I laughed when they blew up Babu Frick with the big gun so finding out he lived later in the film was a bitter pill.

The basic technology doesn't require any particular deviation from well-understood physics, and there are research molten salt reactors that actually exist and produce power. I don't know if it will ever lead to any widespread adoption since, well, it's nuclear reactors, which means political factors are the overwhelming concern.

You can tell that Disney somehow had no idea that people would fall in love with Baby Yoda for how goddamn long it took for them to merchandize it.

They intentionally held back merchandising until after the season started to avoid leaks spoiling the character.

I think it's more that Disney assumes no one cares about its TV shows and it's all about the movies.

I remember those light up road signs asking you to buckle up and not drink and drive referencing Baby Yoda in late 2019. Truly cursed.

I know that Disney's weird as hell about their TV cartoons with their 3 season limit, but I don't know if that carries over to their adult TV or if there's some kind of internal separation with the other TV companies that they own. The Mandalorian was a surprise success, and it was basically an accident that it even came out because they lost confidence in their grand Star Wars movie plan and downgraded the upcoming Bob Fett movie to a TV show. I don't know if they'll start respecting TV more or try to learn and reproduce the success or if they'll just forget about it. Massive corporations are unknowable inscrutable beasts.

Aren’t they launching like 6 new tv shows? I think they got the message

they've got something like 68 million people paying $7 a month (soon to be $8 a month) for disney plus. they've absolutely done the math by this point and concluded that having a steady stream of half a billion dollars a month is worth propping up as hard as they can.

It's because of union stuff apparently that they have to pay the crew more if a show goes over 3 seasons. Apparently DuckTales got cancelled (boo) because Star Vs got a fourth season that apparently underperformed. Not sure if this applies specifically to animated stuff either, but it wouldn't surprise me. Remains to be seen whether the executive fuckery and aversion to long-term planning that helped the sequels to poo poo the bed so badly will instead flock to the TV division rather than just letting creators do whatever as long as they stick to the style guide.

Rise of Skywalker is easily the worst Star War, but Babu Frik is unironically excellent, and whenever he was on screen were the only parts of the film where I was not utterly miserable.

It actually caught me off guard how genuine and wholesome it was because up to that point the whole movie just had this underlying air of misery and meanspiritedness that I'd never seen before from a franchise movie like that. I didn't think the film had it in it to be that good and fun, and then like ten minutes later the "Rey Palpatine" bomb dropped

Isn’t babu frik onscreen to murder threepio, which all the protagonists laugh at, and it turns out it wasn’t necessary anyway since the new droid had the info anyway
