YM!

Jumanji 3 will survive but naturally decrease as it is law as it was a perfect storm for 2manji. To be honest I think Frozen 2 is beating both IX and Jumanji 3.

Shameless plug.

Now this a damn good teaser. As someone who thinks Frozen while good, was the weakest of the WDAS 2010s films, now I’m actually excited for the sequel.

I need this now.

That feeling when you’re trying to shorten a word count for your film when about 20% of your word count is the opening 10 minutes and it’s harder than you thought.

To be fair it is the only remake from the 2000s era that make any decent money.

Same here. Only if needed.

Screw this movie but I’d like to see this song:

I got most of my major films done, though am fine with a potential extension.

I saw it on TV, not online.

It’ll be fine, we’ll get a new trailer for Captain Marvel and they’ve been attached it to everything (at least for the films I’ve seen in theaters with great reception) and bombard us then. Besides with an $80M-$90M budget it’ll be good.

Yes originally it was Y6, but I thought I could crank it out for Y5, but it’s become a bit more complicated.

And in the Midwest too.

News both good and bad: Good: I got an exciting action adventure pirate film I can work with Zoe Kravitz as a struggling cop and Oscar Isaac as a bombastic pirate as the leads as the two are forced to evade other Pirates, the law and survive as they search for Blackbeard’s Treasure in... The Bermuda Triangle. Tom Holland also joins our duo as a aspiring scientist. Bad: There’s a 50/50 chance that either Blue and Gold II or Phoenix is pushed into Y6 depending on how busy my college life is. In the case either is cancelled @cookie and @Spagspiria will still get their prereads down the line.

I may not care for the guy who’s doing Aladdin but don’t diss Naomi Scott.

A fanbase alone isn’t large enough or responsible enough for dislikes of that caliber. Sure it’s not like Ghostbusters who was sabotaged by the MRA, but it shows there’s a potential problem.

I could be digging deep and know I’m reaching but in the film Finn is entering adolescence and has been questioning the right way to grow up. If how quick Lord Business which is a parallel to his father, was sidelined as well as his uselessness in revolving Bianca and Finn’s issues, it could imply (again this is reaching), he perhaps has been involved much and probably wants a more throuogh role model. While Finn hasn’t said that, the whole Emmet in a dystopian society, sort of parallels that since in the first, it implies Emmet as a Lego parallel to Finn but this time he wonders how he’ll grow. Enter Rex, a hardened version of Emmet who’s trading in his kinder qualities like compassion, optimism and sensitivity in exchange for cynicism and selfishness, anger and cruelty which tend to be the absolute worse qualities of the brooding, cocky and can-do-anything heroes as well as a striking parallel to toxic masculinity. While Finn is nowhere near as bad as Rex, he adopts a more hardened personality upon adolescence and almost ruins his relationship with his little sister, which Rex says during the ending, it implies the death of imagination. Finn while playing, unconsciously goes through two choices in life on how to grow up, he can take the easy way and be like Rex however that only takes you so far or the harder way and learn that while life is not always great, there’s room for you to make the best of everything and accept compromises, as well as letting people into his heart learning like Emmet did.

Looking back. I actually like this as much as the first if not slightly worse. While yes, it pales in terms of humor and creativity on the original (admittedly being the 4th theatrical LEGO movie can take a lot of off the person), it’s still fun, witty and a heartfelt film. It also expends on ideals and allows both Emmet and Lucy (who gets much more to do than the first film and arguably a bit better) some solid character development as they face the challenge of maturity. I have been rather mixed on twist villains resurgence in animated films, it worked for Zootopia and Coco, not so much for Moana, Big Hero 6 and Frozen. Rex Dangervest actually works as the surprise twist villain. It not only shows a parallel of a darker Emmet forced to conform and succumbing to his darker instincts but rather the option that Finn finds himself conflicted as he enters adulthood on how he should grow and some of the worst qualities of heroes in media, mistaking self reliance for selfishness and using cruelty instead of compassion, and that all in all cynicism only gets you so far in life as easy as it is. He can be like Rex and close himself off or be like Emmet, learning and accepting life’s full of compromise and accepting other into your heart. It also works as a great parallel to toxic masculinity. Also Tiffany Haddish slayed in this, her best work since Girls Trip. Stephanie Beatriz and Richard Ayoade also had a few fun moments as new characters go. The musical numbers are vibrant and fun and I’m a Ride or Die Lord/Miller fan. As much as like the characters, kind of felt Benny, Unikitty and Metalbeard didn’t have much to do and Batman reverting back to his shtick is hit and miss. All and all it’s one of the few great animated sequels next to Toy Story 2/3, Shrek 2 (hot take), and Kung Fu Panda 2/Dragon 2. And even though it’s box office looks awful, it’s a great sendoff. A-

It’d still be too soon and not have the same impact. For all we know Frozen may be at 3 films and Moana may have a sequel in ten years from now. They’d have to wait ~15 years at least for the most impact.

The differences between Pixar and WDAS is I imagine that Pixar’s aren’t as easy to translate into live action. Both Toy Story, Finding Nemo and likely The Incredibles would be too soon and Brad Bird would be pissed about the latter and wouldn’t boom due to nostalgia. Monsters Inc and Cars would be too creepy, A Bug’s Life, Brave, The Good Dinosaur and Ratatouille would work but I doubt anyone cares. Both Coco and Inside Out as big as they are, are way too soon and fresh in minds.

Once Mulan, The Little Mermaid and Lilo and Stitch are done, Disney will likely have nothing else to further remake for big money (their best bets in my opinion are 101 Dalmatians, The Rescuers or Bambi) as they’ve used up their pool. Though I wonder what they’ll do in live action as again they have relied on those.

The dislikes for this on YouTube is very alarming.

The genie can get in my ass.
