A Disney engineer with 12.5 years inside just confirmed what we've been saying for years: the people destroying franchises were a small, loud faction, not the whole company.
The fact that "the vibe shift is real" is something a fired employee is telling us on his way out the door, rather than something Disney leadership has ever said publicly, tells you everything about corporate accountability.
I'm glad Daws spoke up. I'm glad Disney might be course-correcting. But the Star Wars films, the Marvel Phase 4 wreckage, and years of alienated fans don't disappear because some executives got quiet. The bill is still coming due.
Are you willing to give Disney a second chance if the product actually improves?
@AnisRahim14 Gentle exercise (stretching and light cardio), music, and prayer.
Not booze. Not meds. Not talk therapy.
Psychoanalysis is mostly bullshit.
Calls were growing after this video surfaced online for this teacher to get fired. I don’t see why. I think she made it interactive and fun to connect with the children. Do you think there is anything wrong with what she’s doing? I say leave her alone.
@VHSDVDBLURAY4K He's directionally right. However, I don't know if I ever would have gotten into the books as an adult without loving the movies and seeing them in theaters as a teenager.
J.R.R. Tolkien Youngest son hated ‘The Lord of the rings’ movies…
"They eviscerated the book by making it an action movie for young people aged 15 to 25. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing”
Wow, I didn’t expect this post to go viral with audiences in other languages. In Spanish, the expression ‘it doesn’t make any sense’ is often used to emphasize something positive. In many translations, it might come across as criticism. I loved the movies.
No tiene ningún tipo de sentido la rentabilidad de las pelis de Mario.
Super Mario Bros
- Presupuesto: $100.000.000 USD
- Recaudación: $1.359.226.275 USD
Super Mario Galaxy
- Presupuesto: $110.000. 000 USD
- Recaudación: $747.477.060 USD (por ahora)
Como referencia, las ocho pelis de Harry Potter recaudaron 7.7 billions USD. Mario lleva 2.1 billions con solo dos pelis y la segunda sigue en cartelera.
Carl Sagan on books:
"What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years."
My 5 yo just ripped apart a bug for no reason. I told him we don’t kill things weaker than us for no reason. He didn’t seem to understand.
Normal boy trait?
How do I teach him to be gentle and respect all God’s creatures (except wasps and mosquitoes and such)?
@learning_yohei I walk around without my shoes outside of my house (barefoot in my yard).
I only wear shoes in my unfinished basement. The rest of the house is no shoes. Barefoot or slippers.
