My gripes with them:

1. US Dept of Defence input into marvel scripts: literally state military propaganda

2. Disney seems to have a fuckload of ties to weapons manufacturing and is helping fund the genocide in Gaza

3. Tend to be predictable, formulaic, barely ever 3+ stars from me anyway

Sorry

vermontchicken.bsky.social•23 days ago

Don't be sorry. Your lack of enjoyment has no bearing on mine.

tastromo.bsky.social•23 days ago

Not quite Disney but I hear the new Dreamworks movie The Wild Robot is really good and thematically the opposite of all my concerns listed above

vermontchicken.bsky.social•23 days ago

For anyone who is wondering, *of course* I know all about Walt Disney and I think the Disney mega empire is disgusting and perhaps even evil. And I will watch without giving them any money when at all possible (like using my SIL's subscription). But that will not stop me from enjoying the movies.

tastromo.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yeah this is my approach too.

I’m especially sad that Buffy is on Disney+ … goes against the whole “fighting the encroaching forces of darkness” thing

thegraymage.bsky.social•23 days ago

I can count on one hand the MCU movies I didn’t like. Out of 30+ projects that’s pretty good in my book

jlschmidtauthor.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes! They are meant to be entertaining. It’s fan boys who are no longer the main target audience that get their scrotums in a knot and whine about “all that’s wrong” ie…people of color and female leads etc…. I’ll back you and bring my GenX attitude

I'll fight right by your side on these issues.🤪

We are currently rewatching daredevil in prep for the new show. Also we need moon knight season 2

vermontchicken.bsky.social•23 days ago

Nice! Good call.

I *should* be reading, but I'm so exhausted and distracted by everything that I have very little focus lately. So, gaming...and silly movies.

burritozen.net•23 days ago

Destiny 2 has me again so that and Balatro are what I'm playing nowadays

vermontchicken.bsky.social•23 days ago

I haven't played either/or but have heard that Destiny 2 is great. I might have to check it out, now that you mention it.

I play ESO with my family since we all live in different places. That game got me through COVID, as well, so I'm not surprised it's my coping mechanism these days.

niteslashr.bsky.social•23 days ago

Moon Knight season 2 would be so peak. Oscar Isaac is now one of my favorite actors ever because of how good his performance was in season 1. I think they should cast Cameron Monaghan as Zodiac.

burritozen.net•23 days ago

The best rumor I heard is they want season 2 with Bushman. No idea who I'd cast but their series in the comics is nuts

randallkopchak.bsky.social•22 days ago

Ah but the real question is, which of the Star Wars movies earns the ,"almost" qualifier?

vermontchicken.bsky.social•22 days ago

I do not care for Episodes I, II, and III. I don't know if I even made it through all of them in their entirety once.

randallkopchak.bsky.social•22 days ago

I LOVE Star Wars, and I legitimately think Episode II is one of the worst movies ever made. I'd watch Rise of Skywalker ten times before AotC once. (And I really dislike Rise of Skywalker)

Your statement is respected.

You have my lightsaber.

You know, it would have been a lot funnier if N other nerds had chimed in,

"And my phaser."

"And my sonic!"

"SO SAY WE ALL!"

I am so disappoint.

lucyonfire.bsky.social•23 days ago

Its all so good! I dont get the hate

vermontchicken.bsky.social•23 days ago

Same! My partner will *tolerate* them for me (the same way I put up with his war movies), but so many people just think they're garbage...

stratago.bsky.social•23 days ago

People who looked into it determined that most of the hate it gets is manufactured, by bad-faith actors who are interaction-baiting.

lucyonfire.bsky.social•23 days ago

Facts! The Acolyte was so good for example

lucyonfire.bsky.social•23 days ago

Its so disappointing. Like not everything is for everyone and thats ok. They're still fun movies!
(Just watched GotG for the first time this year)

vermontchicken.bsky.social•23 days ago

I wish I could unsee GotG so that I could experience those movies for the first time again. I'd even go to the theater again, and I'm definitely more of a "wait for it to come out on streaming" kinda gal. I love them. 😍

lucyonfire.bsky.social•23 days ago

Totally get that! Cozy streaming on the couch is the best

mindlessmax1422.bsky.social•23 days ago

Totally agree... 95% Disney did make Solo... and we dont talk about that one or Bruno

adelleloiselle.bsky.social•23 days ago

When I said Disney World was the world’s only happy fascist state, I wasn’t daring you, America.
