Wait, Disney is seriously concerned that a Fox Searchlight movie is too edgy? I don’t know why I’m surprised, but that only serves to reinforce a major reason I dislike Disney. They are obsessed with trying to maintain their image as this wonderfully magical family friendly company. It’s actually kind of creepy. Still, considering that this is the same corporation that used to own Miramax, part of me assumed that they would’ve been okay with Fox Searchlight releasing edgy films, so long as the Disney name wasn’t explicitly attached to them. I’ve said this before, but Rupert Murdoch selling 20th Century Fox was a terrible decision, especially selling it to a studio like Disney, who try their hardest to be as non-controversial as possible. If Murdoch felt that he didn’t want to compete in the entertainment industry anymore, he could’ve just retired. The man’s almost 90 and already had a ridiculous amount of money anyway.

If they’re doing a sequel, I’d have to assume that Jafar would factor into the plot in some way. With that said, it would take a special kind of laziness to just remake The Return of Jafar, seeing as how that was a ridiculously cheap direct to video movie that was conceived as a backdoor pilot for a low budget TV series. Then again, outside of Iago’s redemption and the character of Abis Mal, Jafar coming back was basically all there was to The Return of Jafar anyway, so if Jafar does come back in the next movie, they might as well give it that same title.

I wasn’t saying she should’ve been held accountable for what happened in CW. I was saying that it was weird how no one ever brought up her actions in AoU once she became such a hot button topic. Sure, you could say that Steve would never rat her out, but Tony? What reason did he have for keeping his mouth shut about her? At the very least, even if he wasn’t going to tell Ross about it, the film could’ve at least had some acknowledgement of her actions among the Avengers, but it seemed like the Russos preferred to pretend that her brainwashing the Hulk never happened.
