Ms. Marvel is honestly diversity done right. I'm not a huge fan of the character myself (I do not enjoy the whole teenage girl high school drama aspect, nor do I like the fangirl angle the character takes) but she's usually fairly well written, and her existence does not rely on legacy...

Not looking good bro, lol.

I see we're aiming for the bottom as usual, Mr. IPger. Really doing a great job of making me wholly disinterested in your "theme" (not really) parks.

Just for what it's worth: this does not surprise me in the slightest, but it's still disappointing to hear it confirmed.

GOD DA- 😐 @Sirwalterraleigh

HARD disagree on all of this. But I guess that's what this thread is for. you shoulda seen my other takes on this thread.... heheh I do agree GOTG is better than most of the other attractions we've gotten lately... the ride system and music are great, and the pre-show effects are good, but...

Well Dinosaur has dinosaurs... which are awesome so I probably prefer it too now this... I am interested to hear your justification

hahahahahahah Jesus Bob is like a stomach parasite. Just when you think you've gotten rid of him, oh look! he's here to stay for x more years. d@mn.... bullseye again man nice one

But worse visuals, talent, soundtrack, etc. can all make a film less appealing as well. Not to mention what if cutting $$$ means hiring cheaper writers, directors, etc? Those will all affect the quality of your movie. Decreasing investment imo will not necessarily increase profit margins, they...

I think TWDC needs to be careful with cost cutting though Solely decreasing the amount of $$$ they invest in their films will only make them less appealing to consumers. So instead of increasing ROI, what they'd end up doing is probably just decreasing revenue and keeping ROI the same. What...

Spider-Verse doesn't contradict my argument though, because it's not blah or inoffensive and people are going to see it because it's quality and because it's based on one of the biggest IPs in entertainment history. It's Spider-Man. Never underestimate the importance of quality in a film's...

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...
