"Somehow, Palpatine returned"

No shit no one wants to watch this. ~~Marvel~~ Disney just milks IPs for a super long time and anyone thinking otherwise are blind and gullible.

Edit: whoopsie :l

Largely everything Disney makes now is trash. Everything is written by an executive and it's always bad.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Well, don't worry because now everything will be written by AI!

Onward is a good movie though

Any original projects seem to be left mostly alone, so the creators can actually do their jobs..

All their sequels and IP though… they reek of focus groups and decisions made by Excel spreadsheets ….!

(Now I just remembered how Wish became a husk of its original plan.. so disregard all that 🤣)

I can agree with that

Literally put that on yesterday just as a background noise while cooking. Forgot about cooking for the most part to enjoy the movie.

Same reason I dont read the Mr Men books anymore.

Actually no, the Mr Men books arent completely shit.

Do you know who Poirot or Ms. Marple are? Ever heard of Agatha Christie? If so you might want to check out the two newest Mr. Men / Little Miss books.

Solid Freudian slip.

I mean, aint Marvel under Disney wing for a while? Same feathers, same bird.

The difference is marvel said in the beginning that wanted to milk it for multiple storylines. Disney just does it because they breath money, not oxygen. It's a good pairing.
