Why are they evil?

[@nocomment6421]

Luckily in europe contracts work diffrently. All their Bullerpoints must point to the topic and cant be applied to anything of topic. So not be able to sue publicy would only apply to the Disney+ Stream and even though you can write everything you want into contracts it doesnt mean they apply im general. If their points are against the law in the first place. Like they cant deny you your right of justice. So you can sue them AS often and on every court AS you like. It actully is worse for them because If you set Up a contact that has points in it that are illegal in the first place, the whole contact is Not valid in the first place which means If the Disney plus user decides to call his bank and to get all his monthly paid checks Back by reverse Check. They are legaly allowed to and Disney cant do anything about it. Funny enough Disney knows this very well and in the German contracts that exact line of not be able to sue has a disclaimer that this only applys to people living in the US lol

What is illegal in Europe is to have "tickboxes" regarding data protection where they make you accept terms in an "if you agree to this, then you also agree to that" kind of way. I.e. by agreeing to data handling terms through a tickbox, they can't say that now you have also agreed to getting targeted ads.

On the other hand, Rings of Power was (and is) absolute garbage, and they tarnished the name and work of an AMAZING author with their terribly written, poorly acted, and banal garbage. But considering how much money, for example, Deadpool & Wolverine and Black Myth: Wukong made, I believe we may be looking at a real cultural shift when it comes to Hollywood away from the wºke and dɛi stuff. It doesn't mean that they want it, but it does mean the shareholders may demand it for the $$. So it truly could go either way. I just hope and pray to the God Emperor that they don't destroy 40k, and sadly, if the show is made, I'd say it's more likely than not that they will. Hopefully Henry Cavill can stand up to the mob and keep it legit. We'll see.

I now knew why so much NatGeo content was over-produced trash. That was the catalyst for my purge of Disney. ------- Disney is low class, low talent, con artists trying to trade on the talent of long-dead cartoonists. They really haven't produced anything but derivative drivel for fifty years. The only thing they ever had to offer was the product that Walt and crew created. The rest is junk.... we get to see parody of classic Disney... weak imitation by mediocre talents. ------- Or so it seems to me with seven decade wide experience to draw upon.

I’ve written on other videos about this topic: upon getting the notice that the man wanted only $50,000 for the wrongful death of his wife, Disney could have easily written him the cheque, then had him sign a no-fault agreement and an NDA, and probably saved money. They could probably have even spun the situation by “generously” giving him a couple thousand more, unlimited Disney world tickets, and making a statement about how it was an unfortunate tragedy but that Disney cared for it’s customers.

[@DrakonPhD]

Note: they aren't seeking only 50k. 50k is just the minimum amount needed in Florida to get your case in circuit court. They don't need to state their total claim at the start, only say they are seeking damages in excess of 50k, which they did. Either way, it's still despicable of Disney

Something I like about Norwegian law is that you cannot sign away your rights. Apple tried this by offering a reduced warranty compared with what was mandated in Norwegian law. They argued that people had agreed to the reduced warranty in the user agreement, but the Norwegian justice system said very clearly that right guaranteed by law cannot be signed away. This is how it should be in all countries really. That your rights as guaranteed by law cannot be taken away by any agreement, regardless if you signed it or not. This is highly relevant in this case where Disney claims that all disputed have to be settle in arbitration rather than court due to a user agreement. If US law was like Norwegian law, then such a clause would be meaningless. On a different note, I agree regarding the race swapping of characters. There are interesting mythologies and traditional stories everywhere that can be used as inspiration. This idea that European fairytales are somehow superior is strange to me. Heck, fairytales can be very different across Europe as well, you can't really put them all into a single category, and it's the same with the fairytales from any other continent, or any other thing one wants to compare between places. No continent, no people is truly homogenous.

I'm annoyed by that aspect as well. You can't just dump all "white people" into a box and say that they're all the same. They're not. I would be fairly confident in saying that Romanians probably do not see themselves as being the same as the English or French. Heck, even here in the U.S. there are cultural groups.

In regards to the skin color of a mermaid: as a diver, once you get around 40 feet down, it starts getting dark pretty quick, and about 60 feet down you need a flashlight to get good pictures, as everything becomes almost monochromatic blue. If memory serves, 2-3 feet of water cut down UV exposure by about 60%, and the further down you go, it attenuates into the visible spectrum, hence the monochromatic blue you see when you dive. If there was a humanoid creature that lived exclusively in the ocean, and spent most of their time under 60 feet, their skin would be pretty pale, as they’re not receiving nearly as much UV exposure as you are on the surface.

And that’s how dumb they were. Not to mention it’s not the decent thing to do, but these billion dollar companies have none of it.

Kimba the White Lion scandal was enough to convince me of Disney being evil. Not even a nod or recognition for source that inspired the Lion King. Worse going after the original studio for trying to release Kimba the White Lion movie a few years later. Even The Simpsons took a shot at Disney over it.

[@fattiger6957]

Don't forget they owned Miramax (with Harvey at the head) There's an interesting story about how Disney treated Hayao Miyazaki when he didn't want them to edit his films. Look it up.

[@Alte.Kameraden]

@@bluesh0es Yes I've seen the YMS video on this subject. It isn't convincing. It really addresses mostly the post surge of videos posted about 4-5 years ago with cookie cutter arguments, and presenting clips from the Kimba the White Lion film which came out a few years after The Lion King which sadly dominate the Lion King vs Kimba the White Lion YT videos, I miss being able to find the older ones prior to that. Basically YMS addresses nonsense videos and sadly better older videos are harder to find. 1. It ignores the original working title for The Lion King was The King of the Jungle which was very similar to the english translation of Japanese title for Kimba which was The Jungle King. Mind you at the time that wasn't the english title used so if Disney translated the original Japanese title themselves it could very well came out as The King of the Jungle. Again someone can call this a coincidence but there are a lot of coincidences. 2. Disney tried but failed to acquire the localization rights to Kimba the White Lion during production of The Lion King, and since also sued over the Kimba the White Lion movie coming to the states just a few years later. Why would Disney care? If they were not similar, and were unique? Unless they knew, and had reasons to care behind the scenes. Heck when they went after the Kimba the White Lion film, it actually helped fuel the conspiracy more. It was a stupid PR move, but Disney found it necessary. 3. He doesn't address even that some of the Disney staff some of which since redacted their claims (because well Disney), that they believed at one point in production they were working on a Kimba the White Lion adaptation. Even the Co-Producer admitted the similarities are undeniable in recent years but then claims they had no prior knowledge to it even existing. Sadly it's hard to find videos of those interviews all these years later.. I've not been able to find them in recent years. So either they're lost on the platform or they were false claimed and removed. 4. Story differences are irrelevant. I don't even know why this is an argument. Likely something some people tried to claim a few years back. But I don't know anyone at least during the 90s who were claiming Disney ripped off Kimba the White Lion's story. Maybe a few scenes, but not the story itself. Why that became an argument still baffles me. 5. The fact Kimba the White Lion literally had "Scar" in the original production not the same name or character, but visually an identical character right down to the choice of colors and body features. YMS addresses this but there is good enough reason to accept that it isn't just a coincidence. 6. Simba/Kimba the names were both chosen for the same reason because it's tie in to the word lion in Swahili Disney just took it more directly. Again like Scar you can argue the similarities are only a coincidence, but I've seen enough evidence in my opinion that states otherwise. Disney knew, didn't care not after point #2. Final Statement. I don't think Disney ripped off Kimba the White Lion per se. I'm more annoyed how they've acted/handled the whole situation. it would have been a huge PR win in my opinion if they'd just admitted it at the time, people like when their favorite productions/films/TV/comics are inspiration, and it's actually all Tezuka Productions wanted and honestly why I think they mimicked many scenes from Lion King out of spite in their own film. But I really think they're adamant on preserving that "Original Production" marketing they built around the film. When nothing they've made has been well "Original" they even admit the story is from Hamlet. We know they've also done the same thing with the Theft and the Cobbler, it inspired Aladdin but Disney will never admit it. But being The Theft and the Cobbler was never really a finished film and I think for a time Disney even owned the film. You can easily argue they didn't exactly steal or rip off something they already owned?

[@Alte.Kameraden]

@@bluesh0es btw if you want to find a soruce for the original working Title for The Lion King being The King of the Jungle it comes from a old New York Times article from 1994 which you can still find with some searching. Titled "A ‘Kimba’ Surprise for Disney : Movies: ‘The Lion King’ is a hit, but reported similarities to the Japanese-created American cartoon of the ‘60s are raising some questions." It even talks about a lot of other similarities. Mind you this is years before the The Jungle King (Emperor) movie and a decade before KZbin.

Now that I think about it, how come that none of these live action remakes have even attempted to be more fairytale-accurate? You'd think that with the ever-increasing public interest in the original tales during the past decade or so Disney would've tried to bank on it.

[@snowangelnc]

There's no agenda to push, they'd have to go through the effort of doing research, and their marketing team hasn't given them a guarantee that this is would be the move that would generate maximum profits.

Peak of the iceburg..... Check THIS Out ! The Disney corporation sued a small family because they put the likeness of Spiderman on their son's tombstone after he died. He apparently was a huge fan. How they found out about this one gravestone I don't know. But LOOK IT UP, They absolutely sued this couple........😮

[@lisaburpo4891]

Absolutely ridiculously horrible

[@ChaoticYak1]

If this is the story I read, that's not quite right. The boy died of cancer and loved Spiderman, and so the father wanted to put Spiderman on his tombstone but was told he had to ask Disney for permission and they refused to grant permission because they didn't want their brand associated with death or something like that. But Disney did threaten to sue a daycare for showing one of their cartoons without a license.

[@MultipleGrievance]

@ChaoticYak1 Thanks for the clarification 👍 Who would advise them They need to contact the disney corporation to put a superhero on their sons grave? It seems like an extremely unreasonable assumption to me.

[@ChaoticYak1]

@@MultipleGrievance I think it was the company making the tombstone. And it was probably because Disney is notorious for suing people on a whim.

I canceled my Disney plus a long time ago. I wonder if Disney would use this "loophole" if one of their tourisists gets killed on a ride that malfunctions or one one of their theme park employees acted inappropriately? Like the case where someone dressed as Tigger allegedly groped a tourist during a photo shoot.

[@RoundAreWay]

As a lawyer in the US, I am hundred percent sure that this Disney+ maneuver was not invented by Disney, but by the heartless big law firm that represents Disney. In these kind of cases, the big law firm that is paid millions of dollars does not go to the client to discuss the strategy. The law firm will do whatever they can, even if it is the most immoral thing you’ve ever seen, to have the lawsuit thrown out.

They probably mostly handle "nuisance" cases and treated this one like a routine brush-off. Decision made by incompetence lower down in the chain of command. Now top guy knows about it because of negative international coverage. I have negative opinions of Disney and Corporate governance. Disney is a public company not a private family business or fiefdom the way members of the board treat it.

I have had American contracts that say; you cannot sue for any reason, even if we are negligent cause damage or harm; but if you say or do anything that can be considered negative towards our company, then no amount of money can compensate our loss. ps. you are not allowed to mention this to anybody. Basically the problem is corporations can hide behind contracts and NDA's. Disney took that option because legally in the US they can (no other country would accept such a contract as defence of wrong doing or negligence).
