Topic: Movie thread.

Yeah, I edited it in. lol Sorry.

@Maxenmus AHA, so that's the glitch! My theory is true

I'm not going to bother addressing this as I've done so multiple times previously how people have missed my point.

It's not about trying to make money, it's the way they do it, the way their marketing is presented, that put me off. Big surprise someone can be put off by a company using the innocence of youth to their advantage. It's as if people have feelings or a conscience.

@Kermit1
Just saw that 'Muppets on Puppets' video you posted earlier.
That was some great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

@Maxenmus Yeah. Never said you had to be comfortable with it, nor idk when people said you couldn’t have feeling about it. The feeling are pretty understandable tbh, I honestly don’t think it’s a secret that company’s try everything in there power sleazy or not to try and get children to get there parents to buy there toys. As why I brought up Ben 10 marketing, because my god they try and do everything they can to get kids to buy there stuff, using there cartoon as there begging selling point.

I see your point, but I sure don’t have to agree with you. And don’t really. I’m not even trying to be rude, so sorry if it comes off that way.

@Maxenmus I like talking to you too. I enjoy seeing different points of view, I don't really have that many opinions of my own so it makes it easy for me to put myself in other peoples shoes.

Fun Fact: Disney in the 80s made a Animal House-esc film for "teens" called Midnight Madness.

@Mioaionios He is my inspiration for everything, Jim Henson.

I think even Ben 10 is different. Ben 10 the show doesn't have that image of false reality that many Disney films had, especially the ones in the '90s, when they presented false ideals of what true love looks like. Their films were problematic, and I'm glad that they've addressed it in their more recent films, but their merch still tells me they're still trying to peddle that false ideal about "perfect princesses" to young impressionable children. Their films rarely take risks in terms of cynicism and realism because doing so would mean ruining that perfect, ideal fantasy they're trying to sell.

And I never said you did. You called my opinion out even though the overblown argument was coming to an end, so I responded in kind.

It's fine. It's just an argument that got out of hand. Let's move on.

@Kermit1 a little off topic but have you ever thought about making your own muppet? I actually have wanted to for a wile.

@Maxenmus Ok I definitely see your point now, but I just can’t agree, at all.

I didn’t know it was coming to an end when I posted, so this will be the last a post on the matter.

@Snatcher I have, I was a huge puppet nerd as a kid. His name is Tom and I think he is in a plushie bin somewhere around my house.

They also had kits you could buy called muppet whatnot kits and I had a blue one, but over time I lost all the parts and the puppet went to a thrift store.

Thanks. I like talking to you because things rarely get heated. I don't mind different opinions, but because of my anxiety and paranoid disorder, I hate it when people hammer me for my opinions they disagree with in an aggressive manner. It's like, relax. Ask me nicely and I'll talk.

I'm not surprised, since Walt Disney has long passed away by the '80s, and the investors of the company pretty much seized the company from him and focused on selling it to the larger demographics during the '80s: teenagers and young adults. The '80s was a time when cartoons weren't selling as well anymore, especially with how big Star Wars and Back to the Future were, so they switched their focus to targeting older PG-13 audiences.

@Kermit1 Really! This is the first time I have heard of a kit. I need to look into it. Think you might ever make another puppet again?

@Snatcher 100% I just have to find the time lol

@Maxenmus Except, I'm not complaining about the complaining, rather made an observation I made in general. You can have your opinions, I'm not saying don't have them, everyone has an opinion. I'm sorry if I gave you that impression. I have nothing against you or @Kermit1 for thinking differently.

@Snatcher I may not be a kid, but I love collecting character merch from animated movies I love. You could probably guess the kind of merch I have collected, lol.

@Sunsy I re-watched GUS, I like Disney again. That movie is comfort food.

That's fine. You've merely contributed to a rather heated discussion that got out of hand about the complaining of Disney, so your post inadvertently came off that way. Sorry for dragging you into it.

@Kermit1 Cool, just looked it up and never heard of this one. Also, I find it amusing it also returned the mouse from Cinderella, lol.

@Maxenmus It's alright.

Nothing is perfect including H O L L Y W O O D

Did you guys hear that WBD lost 20 billion dollars while trying to cut 3 billion?

Yeah deserved 🙃
