I think there are three main reasons Hollywood (and by extension, Disney) is struggling right now (and will continue to do so). 1. price-gouging and inflation over the last couple years has resulted in customers becoming more discerning with what they consume; mediocre films aren't enough to...

well therein lies the problem. TWDC doesn't have a whole lot of a relevant pop-IP left for major park expansions. But I don't think they'll base any new lands on a legacy franchise. SW:GE provides evidence for this I agree. I don't think Disney should just stick to hyper-relevant, pop-IP, BUT...

people will like an engaging and high quality land based on anything. Indy included. But that doesn't change the fact that Indy as an IP is likely unappealing to Disney right now. With the newest installment flopping, the franchise not producing anything of merit for decades and its cultural...

oh it doesn't... just because it has a jungle doesn't mean it fits in DAK.. however, as far as IPs go, it could be worse. really the issue here is that there are very few IPs in general that fit in DAK and EPCOT very well. So if WDC insists on using only IPs in those parks, you're gonna have a...

My 'hot take': I'd much rather WDW fix their attractions and restore the quality they USED to have...including the yeti... before they go out and build overpriced IP rides like Guardians of the Galaxy.

I really wouldn't put too much stock in this man. A DHS expansion. A fifth gate is very, very unlikely. That said, I wouldn't expect any major DHS expansion in the next 10 years.

losing well over a hundred million dollars is a pretty big flop. Whether it's insane I suppose is subjective, but I'm pretty impressed. Even I didn't think it would make this little money.

Agreed and the issue here is multifold. Yes these movies are very expensive but that's also kind of by necessity. The technology required to make these huge CGI blockbusters is wildly expensive. So you've got two options. 1, decrease the amount you invest in your product, which will necessarily...

sure but it also isn't just budget. If the film made $700mil, that would be one thing. That would be significantly worse than some other, comparable films like Aladdin, but it wouldn't be some insane flop. But $500mil is low for major blockbusters in general, especially ones based on actually...

Whether or not $500mil is a lot of money imo depends on context. Is it a lot of money for an individual person? Yes. Is it a lot of money for a country's gross domestic product? No. So what's the context here? A major Hollywood blockbuster based on popular IP that costed over $200mil to make? I...

was it just a minor detail that didn't affect your ride experience?

1. we should all care, as Disney fans... 2. no one is being childish or attacking anyone else for their beliefs. we are simply disagreeing, which is last I checked, very much allowed on this forum. ??? lol it's EXACTLY like that. Matter of fact I'd wager that the yeti is a bigger deal than...

Yes as I have stated before, all intellectual properties have limited commercial value and consumer interest. Studios are currently draining their acquired IPs/franchises for all of their commercial value. Once they lose their all of their value (and it's already begun) they'll be forced to...

I've been saying for quite some time now that Iger leaving isn't gonna fix like 99% of Disney's current problems. Especially in terms of the parks. The problems with modern era Disney and Iger himself are really just problems with the entertainment industry as a whole. The only way you see...

haha, that's fair enough, but on the flip side you have the director of two of those Thor films saying he made them specifically with the goal to make fans of the comics angry, and that he didn't like the comics and bragged about not reading a single one. And that they sucked and were written...

thank god I'm not a hardcore Lucasfilms fan. Yall are treated like $#!% 🤣 course I am a big Marvel fan, and we're not bein treated much better... you know what they say, "comic book fans pitching us movies is a red flag"

8 years... hahahaha that is so hilariously way too close to a decade

That's... sorta kinda fair actually.... but it doesn't contradict anything I said previously. My opinion is that the remakes are inherently bad products. They don't bring enough new to the table in order to justify their own existence. They are quite literally remakes of other films Disney has...

But what's your point? Are you telling me that I have strong opinions on TLM, or that it just sounds like I do? Sure, but are you capable of judging a product's quality before you purchase it? Like if I offer you a random stick from my backyard, will you just be like, "meh it's not to my...

It sounds strong when you label it with emotionally charged language like "condemned," but let me ask you a counter question. Are you capable of identifying a bad product before you purchase it?
