I'm impressed that someone is able to put that many monsters in a movie and still pique zero interest in me. But if anyone could it it, I'm not surprised it's Paul W.S. Anderson.

In hindsight, Mila going for the Dual Blades make perfect sense and I’m honestly shocked it didn’t occur to me before seeing it.

The more tragic things get,
the more I feel like laughing.




Did the RE movies really make so much money that Capcom was favorably inclined to let Anderson and Jovovich have a crack at yet another franchise? Surely they could've farmed this out to Netflix or some other streaming service clamoring for IPs with a built-in audience to turn into a show.

Not sure how someone manages to make a movie about giant monsters look more boring than Congressional hearings but I guess we all have our talents.

That Raya trailer looks dope. At the very least the animation looks beautiful and that music is *killer*.

Also I think Moana is the best Disney (only) animated movie of all time, and both my kids love it so I'm def down with some more solid female empowerment.

I'm interested in Raya, but the fact that it's Disney trying to do something with nonwhite cultures is just making me think "okay, how are they gonna gently caress up this time?"

Like I think Moana is the literal only time they've attempted that, in their entire history as a company, and not stepped on every single possible rake

e: I guess Black Panther too, since that's Disney, and Princess and the Frog (which they sent out to die and generally seem to want to memory-hole, so I don't even really want to count it) and I guess the original Mulan isn't actively offensive but for how many movies Disney's made that's not a very long list of non-racist-as-hell ones

Given how good Moana is, and how much my daughter loves it, and how much I'd rather watch more stuff like that and less like the other poo poo I'm forced to watch with her, I'm going to choose to have high hopes for this.

But seriously, Moana is the best animated movie they've ever put out. By leaps and bounds. (I'm not counting Pixar, because I really don't feel like getting into that argument/comparison right now.)

Is original Mulan that bad? I thought it was pretty well-regarded.

It's well-regarded as a whole, but the general consensus regarding whether it's respectful to Chinese culture and folklore seems to be "...meh, they tried, I guess."

It's certainly viewed better on that front than the live-action is.

For Moana they setup a trust (the Oceanic Trust) of Pacific Islanders to step them through all of the potential pitfalls.

For the most part it was successful with just a few missteps or inconsistencies. The two biggest being, they felt Maui was depicted as Obese when he should be strong. I feel like I've always seen him as this stout column of muscle. I never once thought of him as obese.

And they didn't like the over emphasis on the coconuts at times as they thought, while it's sacred to them, that it was a bit too stereotpyical.

Well they did post (and then delete) a video for "healthy" Princess and the Frog gumbo that had kale and quinoa but no roux. That was pretty hosed up.

Looks cute. A movie about a side character's adventures "just off camera" during the main movie is a neat idea. I know it was used in The Lion King 1½, and maybe some others?

Yeah, this pretty much lines up with what I remembered: there's the really obvious kinda-disrespectful stuff (Mushu), but past that, they were really visibly trying and mostly succeeding, and while it's not a particularly historically accurate movie, the inaccuracies are minor enough that your average Chinese person is either not bothered or actively amused by them. I'm not gonna call it a full-on win for Disney on this front but I'm not gonna call it a loss, either.

I know that people forget about it because it’s such a weird outlier in the world of Disney but Lilo and Stitch is a movie where pretty much every human character is non-white and modern Hawaii is treated with respect
