[@bisexualichigo4227]

Hahaha true.

[@SineN0mine3]

I don't think he was criticising it for being sincere, he says it's sincerity didn't land with him. Maybe if the movie took a more tounge in cheek approach to those scenes, they would have been funnier. He is talking particularly about jokes with that comment. Sincere jokes are very funny if you like them and very unfunny if you don't. Tounge in cheek jokes are less funny because their being lampshaded but they're easier to laugh at because they're less serious. Take Rick and Morty for example, they rarely tell a joke without one of the characters making fun of the joke. The jokes are insincere so if the audience thinks the jokes are obvious then they get to laugh at the response to the joke instead. Ultimately though, the show has hardly anything to say about anything, and the jokes usually result in a long exhale from the nose rather than a sincere chuckle. As a kid I tended to agree with Mason, Disney's humour rarely landed with me. By contrast DreamWorks had a bit more edge to it and I used to find them funnier. I remember going to see Disney animated movies at the cinema with my Grandad and he'd be laughing a deep belly laugh at every single joke. Seeing him laugh at things I thought were "too easy" made me realise that I was taking these things (and by extension, myself) a bit too seriously and then I'd laugh along too. We're all much funnier and cleverer these days but sometimes I miss sincerity in humour. These days things are so drenched in irony you can have your cake and eat it to, but somehow that's just less satisfying.

But James really wanted to continue the Star Wars theme so decided to get back the suits by calling the series, "Blue Harvest", which was the original shooting name of the original Star Wars film. Which led Mason to be like, "No, no, James... then we'd be inviting the suits all over again 😅" And then they crumpled it and threw it in the garbage again & James was like, "Why didn't you take out the trash like I asked you, MAY-SON?!" And then Mason's like, "Why should I do it? I don't live here! I'll just get in my busted up Caravan & go!" And then James was like, "WAIT A MINUTE! Caravan of Garbage." And Mason's like, "Look James, I know my car is old but there's no need to kick me over my mode of transportation... all right?" And then James says, "No, but Caravan of Garbage should be the new name of the series." And then James goes like, "Ohhhhhhhhhhh... I guess we could give it a go."

[@TheEldritchHyena]

I honestly think Mason has a point with that scene. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE The Lion King, but Mufasa's death just doesn't manage to put even the slightest frown on my face. It could be because I only watched The Lion King a handful of times as a kid and was never very invested in it, therefore making my emotional connection with it rather weak, but at the same time, Uncle Ben's death in Spider-Man hits me really hard, despite that fact that I never watched that movie EVEN ONCE as a kid, having only seen it for the first time a little less than a year ago. One important thing I should mention though is that I'm a person who rarely, if ever, cries at movies, so that's probably at least partly responsible, but I still think that shows that The Lion King's sad scenes don't really work all the time.

[@DoomguyIsGrinningAtYou.]

@@TheEldritchHyena I remember nearly crying over a scene in Zombieland of all movies. ZOMBIELAND OF ALL MOVIES. I think we didn't get invested in Mufasa's character enough to truly care about him when he died. Sure, it was sad, but I feel like it was similar to hearing news a friend if a friend's father passing away. No real emotional connection. It might just be a thing where people are emotionally different, I guess. Sidenote: All that aside... Why does my text turn red? Why does this keep happening? This happen to anyone else?

The Mufasa in the clouds scene was a classic shamanic intervention that actually happens a lot in Disney animated films.

The scene is symbolic.

No, actually you do have to admit it's great

[@spacewinter]

Haha I can't accept that he's being serious

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

I think you're going through cognitive dissonance, friend

[@patchunicorn]

"get up dad you've been murdered"😂😵

[@Tim_the_Enchanter]

There is a kind of person who will dismiss something for no better reason than because most of humanity gushes about it. I can get behind Mason here. What I remember about The Lion King is people being over the moon about the "depth" of the animation. That's cool, but the story is nothing special and the music ... well ... it's a matter of taste. The Lion King sucks in much the same way that Avatar sucks ... not because it's bad, but because it's simply not the earth-shattering triumph everyone insisted it was.

Mr. Grab that gem and Mr where's my pasghetti..YOU GUYS MADE MY DAY... was having a crappy morning but the classic mason doesn't like any Disney movies in the 90s before or after so they're going to watch them individually video is great thanks guys

[@TheNiamhish]

Now I know Mason is completely heartless and also crazy, I'm not sure I'll be able to continue listening to the podcast. Well, it was a good run, I'll miss it. 😂

[@qwertyferix]

Good for you. You don't want Mason to rub off on you, or you may find yourself on a baby punching spree.

[@chainyrabbit]

Even as a kid, when this came out, i thought it was shit. Never understood why it was so popular

[@chainyrabbit]

I still agree with me

[@DigitalVanquish]

Genuinely agree with Mason. I just don't get it. And the live-action was even worse, because it looked awful (stylistically).

[@BMicalMusic]

You guys are the BEST movie reviewers EVER..

[@GojiraXR9]

I thought Mason would've been more balanced with his analysis. My reaction was similiar to the GOAT.

[@samsdrive-in]

"but that's not how it WORKS in Lion King society!" 😂😂😂

[@xxcrobarxx5369]

“Be Prepared” is the greatest Disney villain song of all time. There, I said it.

[@fionafoxXscourge4eva]

"Hellfire" would like a word with you.

[@cameronmattingly8802]

I agree

[@sakazakijin]

I wasn't wild about it either, Mason. You're not alone. Aladdin is the best Disney film. I like the first act, but after that bleh. Other than Rafiki showing Simba "who he is" or whatever I don't care for the rest of the film.

[@Dare_To_Game]

The lion king is actually super over rated. It is Fine, but nothing really more than that. Jeremy irons and James Earl Jones are the only standout performances in the entire film.

[@matternativ]

It's a unquestionable good Movie that aged very well and serves as a milestone in animation buuuuuut... ... ... ... ...I totally see where Mason is coming from with a lot of his criticism.

[@Hunterfalke]

I really think this movie is grand, and an absolute spectacle... but I have seen it once and have no plans to return to it. Aside from "Be prepared" I haven't rewatched any particular scenes either. Good movie. Far from a favourite of mine.

[@Movypro23]

Though it’s my favorite Disney movie, it definitely isn’t without its flaws. The soundtrack and animation are the top reasons to watch, and It’s basically Shakespeare compared to the sequels. (The sega genesis game was a total chore to get through lol)

[@plasmasnake4774]

Blu Watcher your Shakespeare comparison is quite ironic, seeing as how the lion king is Hamlet with lions

[@QSqsQSqsQS]

Even more ironic that the lion king is Hamlet with lions that was already made in Japan and called Kimba the White Lion 20+ years before it.

[@siristhedragon]

I think a lot of people get so wrapped up in the music and animation (and nostalgia) that they forget how fucking boring and pointless the actual story is. The characters also leave a lot to be desired in my opinion as-well. I'm with Mason; The film is fine but over-rated as hell.

[@curranfrank2854]

This comment can be applied to most Disney "Renaissance" movies lol. I love the one where the girl has to get a guy to fall in love with her in 3 days without being able to talk

[@t.c.thompson2359]

Kudos, not many devils are quite so affront.

[@AhmedMosadSafar]

the editors of ur videos are very good, good job editing team!

[@lisamortini8567]

Mason, I like the Lion King well enough. But to make you feel better about not liking it, remember Simba is happily singing "Oh I just can't wait to be king!" and then... his father dies. Simba is a little shit.
