Ha, I knew the contents of this thread before even clicking it. On the topic though, I do wish remake flops or any flops would make a studio stop making them but nope they'll just continue. With the remakes like this it has to be a copyright thing. Keep making live action remakes that no one watches so you don't lose the rights. Fox was doing that with the X-Men movies before Disney bought them and Sony is doing it with the Spiderverse.

Those X Men movies weren’t bad and made money. Those Madam Web movies and all that crap…..disgusting.

I remember when they used to make "Family Entertainment" their first priority......now other things are prioritized and people are now waking up to it and making other choices with their wallets

Are they though? Disney is still number one and it’s not close.

number one in what?
stun us with your brilliance.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

some probably think you have a weird obsession with others obsessions

BUT once again you clearly do not know much about this at all.
You seem to think the studio gets every dollar of the gross
WRONG
you also seem to think the studio gets every dollar of the merchandizing and so on
WRONG
and you also clearly do not understand anything about movie finances or costs

I never said any of the above lol….you’re trying to tailspin. I said average people like you have no idea how much is made or lost on a film. You have no idea how much money is being made or lost and it bother you. I’m sorry.

I wasn't really talking about quality and money with those. Though X-Men: Apocalypse was terrible and pissed me off as a fan of Apocalypse and you already know how bad the non MCU Spiderverse movies are. I'm talking about rights issues. It's why Disney can now use Namor and make a whole movie about The Hulk. Universal let the rights lapse by not making any movies with them. Fox also did it with those terrible Fantastic Four movies.

I celebrate every dollar Disney loses, they forgot their roots, which is family friendly content and messaging.

Ahh I see your point. I liked Apocolyse but it was fumbled so bad could’ve been much better. Hopefully Marvel does right by them I love X-men 97

That for sure isn’t there roots though lol. The Disney we know and love had to evolve and it had trial and error. They’re adapting with the world they can’t stay in 1957.

average people can find out a lot if they are willing to put in the time and effort
but clearly you do not


So you say listen to your elders they always know better, is that it?


The information is easy to find. Now of course if you are not intelligent enough to understand it....

How much has Disney made off merchandise for their latest Captain America movie?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

really? Give details.

What details do you want? They have made more money then any tv/film studio…

What’s funny is your definition of “excuse”…what excuse? Disney is the last one that needs an excuse lol..

If it interests you...watch it.
If it does not, Do not watch it.

Not a hard concept to understand.

Reminds me of the superbowl half time shows. Every year people complain and act offended about something.
If you don't like a specific type of music or a entertainer, do not watch it.
If you do like it, watch it. again...not hard to uderstand.

With that in mind.

If something is good, even if it is not your cup of tea, the box office money will reflect it. Same if it is not very good.

No matter your personal opinions on Disney, this specific one seems to be a stinker and not doing well.

However they do make a lot of money with making the animated movies and then years later making the live versions on many of them.

This one just does not seem to be working well.

But like I said...never had any interest in watching this one or the wicked one.

DROP THE PERSONAL ATTACKS AND LEAVE POLITICS AND OR RELIGION OUT OF IT.

It has always been a musical even before the movie was created.

You are correct.

I will say though, when I was but a wee little lad those catchy musicals were a little better in my mind.

Even now I can watch some disney movies and when they break into the songs I am like....here we go lol.

Oddly.

Some things that are modern now will not appeal to the older crowd.

However when watching some old movies or cartoons, not just disney.
It is astounding what was accepted without any issue at that time.

We had some friends over early this year. They brought their child. As the adults were talking I just put on a youtube video that had a mix of different looney toons type older cartoons on for the child to watch and keep her entertained.

I was kind of shocked at a few of the cartoons that were blatant racists stereotypes.

I also have found it kind of funny over the years the type of stuff that some complain about now was normal in some cartoons.

Bugs would cross dress on occasion.
Why he normally did not wear clothes but always wore gloves.
Some cartoon characters would wear shirts but no pants.
Pepe LePew stalking and doing worse
The violence of the wile coyote/road runner cartoons.
The stupidity of him the Coyote spending so much money to buy things to catch the road runner instead of just using the money to buy food.

The only musical I've ever liked was the Buffy episode Once More, with Feeling.

Not really musicals but the last ones I liked was Jessica Lange in the American Horror series singing Life on Mars and the name game song.


But I will admit my old school gay side still loves the Sound of Music.
