GOD@NM IT!
It's worth more than that! f@ck Disney!!!!
I couldn't agree more. I first discovered this while watching E!'s The Soup (ass-kickingly funny show, BTW. Joel McHale is THE MAN!) as one of those text bars at the screen bottom, and I almost vomited right there. Disney, the studio which has lost pretty much all of the former wit and imagination and soul that was their trademark during the Golden Age and Renaissance, now in control of all the Marvel heroes? ****!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goddamnit, they'lll probably dumb them all down and kiddify them in the name of "mass appeal". And even if they do keep their greedy sausages from twisting the Marvel brand for their uses, it still just
sounds wrong:
Walt Disney Pictures Presents...
IRON MAN 3
As Snoopy often says when it isn't suppertime,
AAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! Don't get me wrong; I'm fully willing to give Disney the benefit of the doubt (after all, haven't I been championing KOTCS tirelessly for about a year and a half, not making a bit of difference by the way? I've already proved myself to be more willing than most to buy even the looniest concepts!), but seeing as how WDP has become a totally commercial entity that has to stay clear of Christianity's wrath (see: the appalling
increase of Christian elements in the Narnia films) and constantly churns out fare that is deliberately softened and neutered and made as clean and sugar-sweet as it can be (remember Little Mermaid? Beauty and the Beast? Hunback of Notre Dame? Those films had genuine
menace and
danger and
horror! Now compare it to stuff like Chicken Little and Home on the Range...I know, it's sickening how far they've fallen, right?) that I am very hard-pressed to be optimistic whatsoever about this news.
If Disney slams the brakes on that badass WWII-period-film Captain America to make it less "controversial" (remember the blatant replacement of the word
"Nazis "with
"Germans" in SOK?), my fury will be greater than that of Severus Snape after Harry calls him, for the second time, a coward. Believe me, I will be a very unpleasant person that day.
Ugh, I'm so worried about this I can't put it in words.
Crap......
