I feel like we're having two different conversations. I asked a very literal question about whether or not something looked like it was made from a woodblock print (which, now that I've looked into it, is probably the same as a woodcut, which answers my question.) I'm not making any value...

Just wanted to say this doesn't represent my point of view, but you make some interesting and well thought out points.

I’m not sure what you mean. I was talking about the lines on the graphic and their possible origin.

Making I’m going into pixie duster mode, but couldn’t the lines represent a hastily made woodblock print? As I said in another post, this is a fantastical vs. historical take (the idea of merry partying pirates making posters for their events).

I hope they do something fun for Talk Like A Pirate Day!

I respect everyone’s right to have their preferences - this is definitely more “fantastical pirates” than “realistic pirates”. That said, I love it, and I think people would have been howling if they had gone with something historically realistic here, complaining that it was boring and that...

I understand all of that if the baseline assumption is that a unified message will reach everyone. That said, is that realistic in 2025? Our world is so very, very curated now, I’m not sure that an “every person” message the majority of the time is possible. Or, alternately, is your view that...

Genuine question as someone who doesn’t know marketing, why would that be a bad thing?

Fwiw I do wish octopus and pig were removed as food sources from the park. I’ll cite nothing but my own personal feelings on that one.

I think it is dropping (probably because people have moved on to things that are worse for your brain but better for your liver, but that’s a discussion for another time.) That said, Disney’s customers are probably going to be the demographic that ranks highest in moderate alcohol consumption -...

I can’t find specific data, but unlikely that it is decreasing among Disney’s target audience, often college educated with relatively high incomes (because Disney ain’t cheap). Again, I don’t have comparative data over the decades, but drinking is more common with this group at this point in...

The only thing I disagree a bit on is that I would say they almost entirely embody an emotion, without symbolizing anything. Other than that, yeah, I think we agree. It's like a generation embodying that exchange from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, lol: "Why is everything here completely...

A quibble, just because I find the topic interesting - I'm not certain that memes are empty shorthand for some broader narrative among younger people. I think the meme is a thing unto itself that represents a way of thinking that is somewhat foreign to those over 40 (self included). I hear the...

There are some things that Disney Adults and Disney Moms disagree on, but wine is not one of them. 😂 Honestly I think it’s older fans, whose children are grown if they had them, who object more to this change.

My guess is that it’s a generational thing with associations. At one point in time a “bar” was a very particular sort of place - and very much limited to adults. (Let’s be real though - stressed out suburbanites also had more access to prescription medication at that time. That slowly started to...
