Keyrock Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Is that all Disney has left these days?

Yeah, if 'prequels' and 'sequels' were limited to 5-10 minute shorts that just had some fun with something or highlighted a particular event, I don't think anybody would really mind, especially since such shorts are usually very tightly written and paced due to their nature of, well, being a short.

If I had to guess, this + merchandising probably has something to do with them deciding otherwise... image obviously there were sarcasm in our post. am not certain why anybody would be surprised that disney is trying to squeeze more outta their intellectual properties. the maleficent movies, which were similar to cruella as they were live-action reimagining o' an older animated feature, made considerable profit. prequels, sequels, live-action remakes, toys, computer games, theme parks, and tv shows based on movie releases, not to mention careful rerelease o' previous released titles, is only a few o' the ways in which disney maximizes the value o' their ip. tough to argue success. is folks who have criticized disney for their lack o' creativity in recent decades as their repackaging efforts become eye-roll inducing. that's it. no follow up.

Keyrock Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Disney's hilariously on the nose character names like Maleficent and Cruella de Ville were always ridiculous, but at least they fit when those were pure evil mustache twirling villains. The names seem extra stupid when the characters are recast as antiheroes.

Gfted1 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Look at it this way, maybe we'll learn about whatever childhood trauma made Cruella into the woman she is in 101 Dalmatians.

Keyrock Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Going by that trailer, the movie might as well be called Not Harley Quinn. This would be understandable had Birds of Prey killed it at the box office. I don't think Birds of Prey was a complete disaster, but it certainly didn't perform up to expectations. So they're aping a character whose movie kinda flopped. I guess since movie theaters are dead right now and I have severe doubts they will recover even after everyone is microchipped vaccinated, I guess they just need to pump out content to try to justify whatever the monthly fee for Disney+ is. I wonder if they will charge a fee on top of the monthly fee like they did for the awful Mulan remake?

Zoraptor Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Birds of Prey flopped, but everything else Harley Quinn has been close to an unqualified success. OK, Suicide Squad was... uneven, but nearly everyone liked Quinn/ Robbie in it and at least in theory the main drawcards were Smith, and Leto's Joker. A scramble to produce some sort of antivillain, especially a female one, from Disney is not exactly surprising, nor is their attempts to do so being somewhat eye rolling since that has to be done within the family friendly framework. I suspect they really want a female equivalent to Loki rather than Harley Quinn though, so they can keep the hilarious villainy but avoid the decidedly non G certificate undercurrent of abuse that a HQ equivalent would bring.

Keyrock Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I thought Suicide Squad was a steaming pile of ****. Were it not for Zack Snyder's brutal and macabre assault on my senses in Man of Steel, I'd call it the worst of the DCCU movies, as it is, it gets second worst ranking. I mean, Margot Robbie was good, but that's about the only positive I have for that movie. I didn't see Birds of Prey, the things I heard kind of echo my thoughts on SS, Margot Robbie is good but the movie is a mess.

kirottu Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Ben-Hur Overall it was weird mix of feeling abrupt and overly long with sprinklings of over the top acting. But that chariot race scene, man.... It was the best race scene I have ever seen on a movie. Nothing even comes close. That 9 minutes makes everything else worth it, and it isn't like everything else was bad. So if you haven't seen it, go and and watch it.
