And when you don't have passion, the writing suffers.

[@DeadKraken]

@@frieza65 I think it's also because there are different producers in the live action movies, and there are much more pieces that need to move together, not to talk about much more money invested into them. They stumble every time there are big productions with a lot of people involved and the need to sell the final product at all costs(happened lately in animation as well, Frozen 2 for example). The Pirates movies were the last live action ones(talking about the first 3)that had truly strong\interesting female characters, ever since them, the writers have a raptus of dumbassery every time there is a female character involved. Rey is the least offensive\badly written of them all, but she's still not as good as a character like Elizabeth Swan in the Pirates movies.

You couldn't be more right about how bad is the "representation" in nowadays Disney movies (and in other many entertainments products, but anyway) and how many times they simply "queerbate" the audience just to get more money. It's just gets frustating over time. Lefou is worst example for me because they turned what was a clumsy admiration and respect to an unhealthy romatical love. Lefou was clumsy, ugly and fool in the original movie, so he "likes" Gaston not because he is in love with him, but because he wants to BE him. He was never in love with Gaston, he just wanted to be respected AS Gaston. He knows that he can gets benefits from having Gaston as his friend, since he was trully respected by the people from the village. But nooo, lets turn this into a romantical love, because this is "PrOGreSSiVE". You know what would be REALLY great and somehow "progressive"? If they kept General Shang as the way he was in the original movie, where he ACTUALLY felt in love with Mulan both when she was a "male" (dressed as Ping) and female. He was a TRULLY LGBT+ character, and would be a better representation than Lefou. But again, lets remove it because motherland China doesn't like it.

There actually was an earlier backlash against STAR WARS, beginning in the mid-1980s. Once they stopped making the Saturday morning cartoons, kids moved on to other shows and (except for parodies such as SPACEBALLS) the STAR WARS phenomenon largely disappeared from the media until 1991, when the novel HEIR TO THE EMPIRE and the comic book series DARK EMPIRE were released. Given the level of media saturation we're experiencing three-and-a-half decades later, that's not likely to happen again. Even so, there are now many more entertainment options from which to choose instead, so I suppose it works out well for everybody.

Basically, just break Disney up into what it used to be: a large, yet small entertainment company, leaving them with their regular Disney assets, and that's it. Pixar becomes an independent animation studio again, Marvel Entertainment once again becomes its own corporation, and the same goes for 21st Century Fox, Lucasfilm, and the Jim Henson Company. I know this sounds too optimistic, but I just can't stand for big corporations to keep growing and growing until there's only one mega-monopoly, or worse, they become political entities like corporatocratic states, and I know that Disney is aiming to create one starting with Los Angeles or Anaheim, and Big Tech with Silicon Valley.

While I understand the overall point of it being difficult/basically impossible to do a proper boycott of Disney, I think that not doing anything besides calling them out on the shitty things they've done isn't gonna bring any real change. Like you said with Solo, they only really do things when money is involved and when they made little from Solo they did something in order an attempt to save the sequel/Disney trilogy. Sure, it resulted in one of the worst Star Wars films, but it directly shows that only when money is on the line is when Disney will actually do something. This isn't a Nestle situation where they are literally selling most of the food you see in grocery stores and if you are dead set on not buying anything from them, it could result in you getting incredibly sick or dying from not being careful. Disney is mainly entertainment and you could feasibly do things to make them see less money. Try pirating the films made by Disney, buying second hand merchandise if you're that desperate to get a Simpsons toy or simply not going to Disney world "If the opportunity presents itself". If I see someone buying a Hot Pockets at Wallmart, I'm not gonna walk up to them and be like, "You know they are assholes right?" Because 1. They probably already know that and 2. For them it's most likely either getting the Hot Pockets or going hungry for the weekend. Can't really feel the same pity for someone that decides to watch Disney because doing anything to Disney is infinitely more easy than risking legitimate health issues trying to boycott Nestle. And I'm not saying don't try to boycott Nestle products, do that! But it's infinitely more involving and dangerous because they are basically holding valuable human resources above your head, while Disney is entertainment, something you can live without for a much longer time than food and water. Spreading the word out on how shitty these corporations are is a first step, but it's a first step many have already taken, not everyone, but a good chunk of people know the deeds these corporations have done. The next step is hurting their wallets, and while a full blown boycott is near impossible, getting rid of their involvement in your day to day life, whether it's a full on boycott or limiting your spending on them is better than nothing.

The best line I love from the former Star Wars actor for Finn , John Boyega said “ you ain’t gonna Disney + me and laughed a bit “ . Most people joke around saying Disney gonna own all of us one day and honestly it wouldn’t surprise me . They have almost a full monopoly on kids movies, it’s only a matter of time before illumination and maybe dream works gets purchased. Dream works probably won’t sell because the head man in charge Jeffrey Katzenberg hates Disney with a passion. So yea thanks for the video and maybe u can do one on either illumination, dream works or even Sony.

Representation in movies only works if they don’t shove it down your throat. Especially with characters played by multiple actors (ex: The Doctor)

This ladies and gentlemen is why even if I like the animated movies a lot is why I borderline hate Disney as a company

[@hilotakenaka]

Remember the time where Disney race swapped Ariel from The Little Mermaid and tried to create a false controversy from it? They legit tried to promote it through a false hate campaign
