And all of the rides are not family friendly/suitable for all ages. Why is that different?

Source material definitely matters. Howard Stern and Jerry Seinfeld could tell the exact same joke and people would react differently.

I also think it’s funny that the most controversial joke to the Disney team is probably splash mountain haha

Here’s a new joke that’s great for the kids -

Deadpool looking at a monitor “what do we have here the Disney parks app, instagram, oh grindr - mr. Stark I love your new profile pic”

So what? It's a dating app. They also included tinder in that joke. Why didn't u mention that part? Or is it only because grindr is for gay people? Nothing wrong with this joke at all. You're really grasping for straws. Id argue that all the guys that turn me on, turn me down is worse.

 

[the_rich]

And the kids you are talking about aren't going to know what grindr is. It'll go right over their heads.

Grindr? Not the gay dating app! Why couldn't they say a family friendly heterosexual dating app like Bumble or Hinge? Will somebody think of the children! Doesn't Disney know that gay people dating makes children break into tears automatically?

Maybe if all the guys that turned them on were on Grindr the song could have stayed!? What a solution!

 

[McMickeyWorld]

My part that loves shipping fictional characters lived with that fact about Mr. Stark. With that and the Bill Cipher stuff, I had a good laugh xdddddd

 

[Disney Analyst]

Yeah haven't seen anyone complain that he said Tinder in the same sentence...

Because the little kids can't go on rides not made for them?

Last time I'll say it - no issue with Deadpool. For age appropriate audiences.

Peter Pan & Wendy reading stories to kids in the park? Family friendly and suitable for all ages.

Deadpool reading stories to kids in the park? Not family friendly nor suitable for all ages.

When Walt was sitting on a bench in Griffith Park watching his kids on a carousel and wanting a family experience, this isn't what he dreamed of. (Though I personally think he'd've loved the Spider-Man stuntronic - so it's not about Marvel or not.)

My opinion. You're welcome to your own.

I mean, Walt sat on the bench and thought of the park about 75 years ago. He died almost 60 years ago. I don't think we can be married to what he thought over half a century ago.

Also, the man did put in a scene where women were being sold into s*xual slavery on a ride that had no height requirement, so he clearly thought that objectifying people as objects of pleasure could be funny and acceptable for children and families.

Very interesting you point out the Grindr mention instead of the Tinder one...why is one more worthy of being singled out to you than the other?

I've watched all the videos I could find on YouTube and have yet to find an objectionable joke. They're saying the quiet part out loud.

Grindr seemed to be the punchline of the joke. That’s all.

 

[Touchdown]

This is at the same park that once had Superstar Limo right? I for one hope Mr. Pool and Honey Badger are still around in October. The guy is fantastic.

Not to mention the entire feudal nature of the "cult of princesses" was based on. The peasants are revolting!

Yeah, I think the consensus of the Walt Disney Company agrees with you on that.

When DCA opened this sign was up in the Backlot. Casting Couch agency with a sign shaped as a phallic symbol. There has been a history of Disney sliding in adult innuendos in their parks and movies.

Opening day DCA is hardly what Disney should be aspiring to. This was misguided then, and it's misguided now.

 

[SuddenStorm]

My problem with it is that you’ll have 11,12 and 13 year olds that will understand some of those jokes and it makes me sad they’ll view the parks as a place that finds that sort of humor acceptable. Disneyland to me was always a wholesome, whimsical escape from the real world. It’s sad to see that get chipped away at.

That's a big part of why I was against alcohol being brought into Disneyland proper.

Sure but that has to go both ways. If I hear someone misuse that “Disneyland is not a museum” quote one more time…

There’s no way Walt could have anticipated what a phenomenon and institution Disneyland and its attractions would become. He wasn’t saying “I’ll remove Splash Mountain even though it’s a classic fan favorite attraction.” He was saying that he was happy he had a park he could continue to tinker with unlike the movies that when they were done they were done. It’s also worth noting he said that during a time when the park was in its infancy and just about every change was an objective upgrade.

It's wild to think that up until Tomorrowland started to close for redo in '95, almost every single change was an upgrade for Disneyland. That's a solid 40 years of continuous improvement.

Ever since it's been hit or miss, and recently it's been expensive but misguided changes to the park.
