I think this is all fair, and I'll actually personally say something that is gonna be a little off base coming from me: the remakes aren't even that big of a deal. sure they stink, but it's not even close to one of my biggest gripes with the company. I think people make a big deal about them...

On the subject of Disney being the Apple of the entertainment industry, what's interesting in my opinion is that we're starting to kind of see that fall apart. All entertainment companies are going through some growing pains right now, as the industry shifts/evolves, and other companies aren't...

like the play pavillion?

I mean I'm not gonna make any wild or unsubstantiated claims about why Christine left the company. I don't actually know so I'm not gonna sit here and act like I have authority on a matter where my knowledge is actually limited. That said, I do think it's curious that she chose to leave when she...

Yes, and this is one of them. So whether or not you felt my comment only served to continue some 'negative' narrative towards Disney does change the fact that it was intended as genuine, and importantly, was very much on topic. So if you'd like to reply to this comment, then go ahead. But I'm...

lol, smooth— I think there's not a whole lot to talk about just yet... personally I think Indy as an IP is iconic but not super relevant. So it'll be hard for the film to succeed solely based on the popularity of its IP.

erm..what comment was this? And again, I wasn't trying to make a statement about whether L&T specifically was a flop. I was just using it for the sake of comparison. L&T was financially disappointing for TWDC, but whether it was a flop depends on your individual perception of what a flop is. I...

100% agreed.

lol I'm not on edge, nor am I upset that someone didn't agree with my position. It was you who replied to my comment.... saying I was perpetrating a negative narrative, not the other way around. If that's how you feel then that's fine, but I definitely think your idea that because I assume one...

while I will never agree with the sentiment that LGBTQ characters are simply too controversial to be allowed in movies.... I am glad you liked it. Not trying to start any $#!% either.

Hemsworth as I recall said he didn't want to even work with Taika again. But no worries! Everything is fine in Mickeyland. Now smile. Right now. *points gun* Real talk though, "flop" in this context is just slang. Whether or not something is considered a flop is relatively subjective. It...

you're absolutely correct. I asked a loaded (complex) question that was composed of actually two separate questions; one, "will Indy 5 flop?" and two, "if so, to what degree will Indy 5 flop?" I did this because I assumed the first question was basically already answered. Most folks I was...

hah, well given the first film was a $1 billion super uber mega success that introduced one of Marvel's new most popular characters, I'd expect nothing less than 800 million. That's a prediction I've heard here before 🤷🏽‍♂️

I used Thor 4 as a shorthand for films that are critically and financially disappointing, but still made a profit. In fact I made it clear that the film made money in my original comment by contrasting it with films that didn't make money. The word flop was unimportant. You can replace "how hard...

Agreed. Iger most of all. But I must stress, even that won't really solve many of Disney's problems. His theme park decisions were always bad, really. He never got the parks and his first decision was to ignore them almost entirely. What he said about Everest? The non-descript mountain themed...

Call it a flop or don't, but the film was both a critical and financial disappointment. I'm not getting bogged down in the semantics of defining colloquial slang like the word "flop." as for the narrative being advanced... to all the Disney fans: there is no "narrative" or anti-Disney...

I agree with this^^ I think it was short sighted for me to say basing the park on California was a bad idea. I own up to that fully 100% I think the way they showcased that theme and how well they illustrated it varied in quality, though.

I see your point...and there are aspects of a California themed park that could be really cool. Like maybe rides based more California history, geography, etc in there. I do think DCA has the narrowest parks theme, though, @Californian Elitist . While your state has a rich history and diverse...

That's because the word "flop" is pretty meaningless and subjective. There are no specific characteristics that determine whether something is or is not a flop, in absolute terms. It's just a vague collquialism we use to describe products that do 'poorly,' financially, whatever 'poorly' might...

your rant itself is off topic buddy. And it certainly isn't a progressive way to shift the conversation back to WDW attendance.
