Quote:Disney is one more front in your time-wasting culture war because you have no worthwhile purpose in life. You know that is true. I know it is true because I live around people identical to you who cannot understand why their lives are hard and unfulfilling and what life means. Hint: it is NOT to worship "God" and obey his laws. Nor is it to obey Trump. (Putin in Russia.) Nor is it to get high.

I'm not going to reply to your dumbassery again in detail, since you've already brought that up and I've already refuted it other than to say that Disney is failing on ALL fronts right now, including and most importantly at its theme parks.
When you're that big, you can afford to lose in one area by sacrificing it to your agenda, but only for so long before you've damaged your entire brand.
Disney is finding out the hard way what we all were telling them for years.

You are a simple minded fool who's judgements mean nothing.
I'm glad I can say that I don't know anybody like you in real life. I have to give the real-life you the benefit of the doubt and think that you're not really the person you pretend to be on these boards, because that person would be wholly evil and self-serving without any ability to provide anything for himself or others and only able to survive by stealing anything they can get their hands on.
I hope for the sake of anybody unfortunate enough to be within your sphere of influence that I'm right about that.

No shit they're both available for free. You keep turning Haken's site into a pirate paradise with pirate links because you have no respect for Haken.
Movies have been available for free to the masses online since the early 2000s, and even earlier than that to tech savvy people with good internet connections before the internet became mainstream and dumbed down to the point that half-wit asshole like you could use it.
Top Gun was available for free and still made nearly $1.5 Billion worldwide. Avatar 2 was available for free and made $2.3 Billion worldwide.
Both The Little Mermaid and the new Miles Morales movie are available for free, yet one of them is wiping the floor with the other one currently, and will make money for the company despite online pirates like you.
Don't be disingenuous. Disney's movies aren't the only movies available for free online, yet they're the only monster budget flicks in the last 2 years that are constantly losing money for the company that puts them out.
It has nothing to do with online piracy, and even less than nothing to do with Trump.

Disney is in trouble when Scott Mendelson is turning on them.
Why ‘Little Mermaid’ May Mark the End of Disney’s Remake Factory Hits | Analysis
https://www.thewrap.com/disney-remake-little-mermaid-moana-frozen/
Quote:
The well is running dry for the company’s Renaissance-era movies and there’s doubt more recent successes like ”Moana“ and ”Frozen“ will perform.
When Bob Iger took over Walt Disney again, one of his first moves was to reassure Wall Street that more sequels and remakes were coming. Disney has a lot in its vault, and remaking animated classics as live-action movies is widely seen as a safe strategy, with built-in audiences for familiar fare.
That strategy is coming into question, though, as weak international box office numbers for “The Little Mermaid” trickle in. The live-action remake of the 1989 film grossed $95 million in its Friday-Sunday North American debut, but just $68 million overseas. For comparison, star power fueled the 2019 “Aladdin” remake with Will Smith and 2017’s “Beauty and the Beast” with Emma Watson, both of which earned more than $1 billion, mostly overseas.
Get fucked, groomers.

The argument that Second used to defend Disney when I predicted Lightyear would bomb and he said "it wasn't made for me" was that the S&P 500 was also down and that they go up and down together. I thoroughly debunked that at the time, but let's have a little update in June of 2023, shall we?
Disney's peak price (March 12th, 2021) - $197.16
S&P 500 on March 12th, 2021 - $3,943.31
Disney's price today (June 7th, 2023) - $92.52
S&P 500 today (June 7th, 2023) - $4,267.52
Disney is DOWN $104.64 from its peak on March 12, 2021 or -53.07%
S&P 500 is UP $324.21 from March 12, 2021 or +8.22%

Quote:
Disney's financials have deteriorated over the last five years, with its streaming service Disney+ experiencing negative margins and increased competition.
Former CEO Bob Iger is returning to implement cost-cutting measures and improve profitability, but the company's intrinsic value is still estimated at $56.69, implying a 38.5% downside from the current valuation.
DIS' management needs to improve efficiency and create shareholder value, but new investors should be cautious due to negative sentiment and potential market volatility.
There's a rumor going around that Disney is trying to sell the Star Wars brand back to George Lucas after completely destroying it too.
I hope he gets it for less than a Billion and really sticks it to them.

China’s backlash against Little Mermaid exposes Hollywood bind
Taipei, Taiwan – Hollywood has a China problem.
The world’s second-largest economy has become one of the biggest markets for big-budget Hollywood films, but a racially-charged backlash against Disney’s The Little Mermaid is just the latest example of the price film studios can pay if they offend Chinese sensibilities.
Chinese state media and netizens have condemned the casting of Halle Bailey, who is Black, as Princess Ariel – echoing some people in the United States who have expressed anger that the Atlanta-born actress does not resemble the light-skinned character of the 1989 animated film or the 1837 fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.
In an op-ed last month, The Global Times, an English-language Chinese tabloid known for its nationalistic coverage, accused Disney of turning “classic tales into ‘sacrificial lambs’ for political correctness” by casting non-white actors in classic tales.
“When the beautiful stories that have accompanied countless children’s childhoods become arenas for racial conflict, they lose their meaning and become devoid of romance and fantasy, replaced by arguments about skin colour,” said the tabloid, insisting that such casting controversies were not driven by racism but “lazy and irresponsible storytelling”.
The blowback – much of it overtly racist – has also played out among ordinary Chinese film-goers online.
On social media platforms such as Sina Weibo, some users have criticised Bailey’s appearance and her Black facial features.
Other Chinese commentators online left more positive reviews, with a poster on the film site Mayoan saying that Bailey’s appearance made little difference to children and she represented Princess Ariel’s most essential character trait – a brave spirit – well.
While China does not have the same racial history or politics as the US, audiences are still sensitive to how race is portrayed in Hollywood films, said Chinese-born YouTuber Yao Zhang, who follows Chinese and Taiwanese news and culture from Canada.
Traditional Chinese beauty standards emphasise pale skin and large round eyes, Zhang said, and some viewers – and government officials – want to see Chinese values reflected on the screen.
“There’s no correct way of looking at [the film in the US],” Zhang told Al Jazeera. “But in China, there is 100 percent a correct way to understand it.”
Zhang compared the backlash to the public’s reaction to supermodel Lu Yan, whose small eyes and high cheekbones were deemed unattractive in China but gained her renown in the West – although some Chinese bloggers claimed Lu’s success was a Western ploy to make China look bad by elevating “ugly” women.
