Lol. Please name one single thing about this that falls under the category of “pretentious”.

The fact it is drawn as if it was made in the 1970's like the original Star Wars comics were instead of being drawn in the style of modern day 2019. Pretentious as F@@k!

... right.
You and I clearly have very different definitions of what pretentious is. What you call pretentious, I call artistic stylizing.

It’s called style. Back up the ramp you go.

If copying past styles makes you “pretentious”, then Disneyland is the most pretentious place of them all! If you hate “pretentiousness” of having a style rooted in the past, I don’t know how you can survive the HM with it’s “abandoned Antebellum exterior with a Victorian interior” mansion aesthetic, the ghosts wearing 19th century garb or the paintings none of which could be described as being “modern or contemporary” even in ‘69,

The problem is that it mimics something of old that is implied to be superior but in fact is equally as inferior as its modern day counterpart. Furthermore it’s not an original concept paying homage to a time gone by, but taking someone else’s ideas and placing another person’s ideas into them to create nothing special.

I want a company to shake up how theme parks look & are designed. I feel like a lot of new theme parks just look like disney+universal.

This solidified that buying Fox was a mistake. This is clearly, in no way a Disney movie yet the opening of the trailer declares itself the studio that brought Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King (twice). Iger is clueless on how to maintain brand integrity.

Yikes.
Part of me wants to let it slide because it’s setting up the satirical nature of the film... but the movie also just looks... uh... pass.

I Think you are misreading that opening a bit. That was clearly a Ryan Reynolds decision to have it have the classic Disney names before the trailer then when the trailer starts its this action packed movie. its done on purpose as a tongue in cheek, 4th wall break type of joke that Reynolds does with deadpool. it was done sarcasitcally not in a serious way.

I'm aware of what it is, I'm saying it's bad for Disney to label its brand in that way.

oh ok. now I get your point of view. At first I thought you missed the joke , but you are saying , why even do the joke in the first place? Gotcha. You feel it is beneath them, yes?

The new press release for Tokyo’s Beauty and the Beast ride makes it sound as drearily book-report and un-thrillingly wimpy as I feared. Look, I know it’ll have great tech and awesome AAs, but— I’d rather see a classic Walt-era B&tB dark ride where the “plot” is you’re exploring a dark, eerie castle, you come across a rose under glass... and then you try to escape before Beast freakin’ kills you! Lots and lots of crash doors, screaming objects, and Beast lunging out at every other turn like the Snow White witch!
