Disney General - The saddest fandom on Earth

[Brain.exe]

Not sure about Land but yeah Disney World's was notorious for a while about having shoddy maintenance even for Disney World

Land's is even more notorious for having a ton of broken animatronics, since rather than making new ones for the ride, they just wheeled them over from America Sings, which opened in the 70s. That extra age plus being in wet conditions for 30+ years will do that to anything mechanical.

I know I'm going to regret this, but what was the Spider-Woman controversy? I don't remember hearing about it.

In 2014, there was outrage over a variant cover of Spider-Woman drawn by some dude named Milo Manara. It got meme'd immediately.

Wow, I've heard of heart shaped asses, but that really took it to the extreme, lol.

And aside from censoring the stuff they do have or excluding shows, they've also just silently erased some episodes from existence or pretend certain shit never existed, like pretending the Droids and Ewoks cartoons/movies never existed, excluding two episodes of Ducktales without so much as a word, the final episode of Talespin, etc etc. Fuck their streaming and anyone who still shills that crap.

Yeah, but they put up the banned episodes of Bonkers, so... well, I don't know. Maybe that makes it even.

Tbf that's a hideous cover. She deserves better

What banned episodes of Bonkers? I never watched (or heard of) the show when it was on the air so this is new to me.

To expand a little more on it: Milo Manara is an erotic artist, so when he was asked to do this cover of course that he drew it in the only way he knows to. You can tell that he puts more emphasis on the sexiness of the character than being anatomical correct but that didn't stop fat ladies to try to replicate the pose with hilarious results.

There were a couple episodes that were banned after the Oklahoma City bombing. One of them happened to be the episode where Bonkers changes partners. Both of them are on Disney Plus.

And it also has Heavyweights, which was my favorite live action Disney movie as a kid (Ben Stiller is fucking hysterical in that one).

Yes, Heavyweights is the best of their run of 90s kid friendly comedies.

I wonder why they don’t have stuff like say... Pepper Ann? Dave the Barbarian? Shnookums and Meat? Nightmare Ned?!

It really bums me out how buried Nightmare Ned is, both the cartoon and video game, I keep wishing the game will get a re-release on GOG at least.

After the controversy with Spider-Woman like a couple years ago, I'm surprised Disney+ was willing to put that cartoon up there. Not that she looks terrible in it, the one tape I had as a kid had okay episodes on it, but she's still clearly wearing spandex.

Man, that's a nice badonkadonk, ya know, for kids!

It's not great but Milo Manara usually has put out better work.

Reminded of one TaleSpin episode that was "banned" for having a similar plot involving a delivery of a bomb.

9/11 also led to the climax of lilo and Stitch to take place in a rural area instead of an urban one

Yep, Lilo could've lived in Honolulu but that was not to be.

Thinking of something that may never get on Disney+, I dare them to stick on Crusader Rabbit, they own that through their Fox acquisition. Those are solid episodes and hold history as being one of the first TV cartoons in existence. Jay Ward cut his chops on it.

meh. I enjoy Tron but its track record as a moneymaker is mixed at best. I'm surprised they would put anything signicant from an already-stretched resource pool in it.

I get the feeling they are desperate, I dont think this would have happened without their current money woes. They need more franchises, and its on disney plus. Maybe the view numbers are high.

Makes me wonder what Steven Lisberger thinks of all this, but I suppose that's pretty obvious.

I'm honestly surprised Tron has become a franchise now. I know and understand how groundbreaking the first movie was, but critics accused Disney of "cheating" back then. Then it developed a cult following, and a reboot appeared kinda out of nowhere. And now we have a third movie in the works.

Who's the target audience for these movies anyway, out of sheer curiosity?

That's a good question, All I can say is I love the sheer design porn and effects detail in all of em. Helps that they have fun plots too.

Also the actors are all pretty dam good. Cant get enough Bruce Boxleitner. (Although he wasnt in the last one that much)

I mean I honestly wish the Disney movies were more like legacy. It didn't shit all over the last movie, and it had ambition to match its design.

There was some interesting drama around the plot for the 3rd one however. Something about how it was supposed to be more darker and mature and really explore what the ending of legacy would lead to.

maybe it's some corporate politics loop and Tron Movie Team is justifying making the movie because Tron Ride Team is making the ride and TRT is justifying making the ride because TMT is making the movie, and this way some other projects don't greenlit instead
