Disney's <i>Wish</i> Earns Rotten Rating As It Premieres

Disney's Wish Earns Rotten Rating As It Premieres

C'mon, just a little more before the Thanksgiving holiday.

South Park lampooned Disney's Lucasfilm unit for having a single creative impulse: "Put a chick in it! And make her gay! And make it laaaaame!"

LucasFilm was very angry about that.

And Disney, a rumor has it, was alarmed by the episode because it scored a direct hit on the M-She-U: The rumor goes that the lesbian-coded Captain Marvel was expressly outed as gay, but the South Park episode embarrassed Disney so much that they re-edited the film to delete the confirmation that Captain Marvel is a gay.

Tessa Thompson, a LGBTQ annoying leftwinger Stronk Woman of Color, plays a race-bent female character named "Valkyrie," an Asgardian, who is now black, of course. Because Thompson says she's bisexual, of course she had to also announce that the character she plays is bisexual or lesbian as well, declaring that Valkerie is a king, not a queen, but that she'll have to find her own (female) queen.

"I think first of all as king, as new king, she needs to find her queen. That'll be her first order of business. She has some ideas. Keep you posted."

What ideas? Well what about Captain Marvel with her super-lesbian haircut?

So Valkyrie showed up for a cameo in The Marvels -- "Put another chick in it! Make her gay!" -- and, according to a scooper with a good track record of tips fed to him by Marvel insiders, had a moment with Captain Marvel referring to having previously been lovers. "We work better as friends," Captain Muffle says, implying, of course, that they had previously been more than friends.

This is in a movie otherwise written for six-year-olds.

I believe that. Disney caters harrrrrd to a tiny niche audience of Twitter perverts and sad middle-aged women who write slash pornography about cartoon characters. They changed Rise of Skywalker to feature a brief, ambiguous kiss between Rey and Kylo Ren because the "Reylos" -- sad women who flick their beans to Star Wars tv shows -- demanded confirmation of their fan-fiction romance between the two.

For some reason, Disney thinks this tiny audience of twenty or thirty thousand people (at most!) needs to be at the very center of their marketing plans.

Meanwhile, The Marvels is so dead that Brie Larson appeared on the Today show and instead of mentioning The Marvels, she talked about a TV show she's doing for Apple for four minutes. Not a single mention of the alleged "blockbuster" movie that's in the theaters right now.

Which brings me to the next Disney Disaster, opening today: The barely-disguised anti-Trump, pro-antifa propaganda cartoon for very young children, Wish.

Critics are not being kind, giving it a rotten 49% rating at RottenTomatoes. And that's for all critics, a category that contain a lot of activists and chills. Among "top critics," the film only gets 32% fresh.

Update: Whoops!

As I mentioned before, Film Threat's Allan Ng calls it "the worst Disney animation I have ever seen."

Alachia Queen has three observations: 1, this Disney film is aimed at the youngest demographic of any Disney cartoon, except possibly Bambi. She says it's a "very Hard G" rating. 2, despite the tone being not just childish but for very young children, it has surprisingly "mature" and "dark" themes, which seems incongruent with the very young audience it's appealing to. And 3, that's because the entire movie is a very thinly veiled anti-Trump "fascism" allegory, with a young Stronk Diverse Woman activist -- the main character is a Hispanic woman and explicitly an activist -- leading "La Revolution!" against him and his fellow evil men.

She's very embarrassed to find herself involved in the culture war, but says she can't avoid seeing it. She says it's blatant.

After Film Threat posted its review of the movie, Chris Gore said he got lots of calls from employees at Disney's animated film studio, complaining that the talent of the studio had been greatly degraded by the hiring of unqualified diversity hires whose idea of storytelling is basically Twitter-level political activism. He says Disney employees, and ex-employees, are calling to say that all men and all whites are being pushed aside to make room for inexperienced POCs and especially WOCs. In some cases, the Old White Men are fired; in other cases, they leave to work at other companies due to the hostile work environment at Disney.

Incidentally, the plot of Wish is about young diverse people pushing aside and Old White King. The star says the heroine's story is about "stepping into her power."

This will probably be another bomb, but who knows. People have to watch something over the Thanksgiving weekend, and it's this or Captain Marvel.

Or Trolls Band Together, another movie that is aimed at a very young female audience, and hopefully without the heavy-handed political messaging.

The opening is bad -- it's made less money in Tuesday previews than The Marvels made in Thursday previews. It made a paltry $2.3 million last night. The Marvels made 6 million+.

Current tracking predicts a $70-80 million global opening weekend -- not US opening, but the entire world -- and by "weekend," we mean Tuesday through Sunday. Plus sneak peaks from this past Saturday. In other words, the opening "weekend" is a full seven day week.

Here's something that may save Disney animation: Dreamworks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg says that AI will allow studios to fire 90% of all human animators needed to make cartoons and computer-rendered movies.

What great, progressive companies.

As for The Barbells, wtf is up with all the marketing featuring the “cats” from the movie? They’re not cats. They’re incredibly dangerous alien predators that eat people.

Tessa Thompson was good and sexy in whatever that first Thor was that she was in. But after that, she looked like someone smashed her in the face with bad Botox and plastic surgery. It’s rare for a relatively young woman to fall that far that fast.

29 Thompson as Valkyrie 'could' have been good. A bit of a foreshadowing of how they could have played the Thor character after Infinity War. Dour. Haunted. Traumatized. Dark.

Instead, they glossed over the one and made the other a fat joke.

34 The problem is when you're all woke, all the time, you no longer have the ability to tell a coherent story or write an interesting script b/c you never read literature to understand stories (you looked at it through "lenses"), so you have no concept of actually telling an original story.

My kids can't answer any questions about "looking at this story through the lense of woke concept X" of anything...and I'm glad.

47 The last Disney/Pixar movie I saw in the theater was Inside Out which O actually liked. The reason I went to see it was (2015) my child was with her mother and the only way I could talk with The Kid about movies she'd seen was to go see them myself. So I went to see cheesy/bad kid's movies by myself so I could share conversations about them with The Kid when I did not have custody.

48 My son, 19 now, often watches old movies with me - and we comment constantly that the plots were so much better back then, when the film worked. They were more complex. There was subtlety.

Take Death Wish. Seriously, watch it again if you haven't for a while. Is it Shakespeare ? No. But it has subtlety. The good guy isn't 100% good by any means. The film doesn't beat you over the head with how you should interpret events. And that wasn't an "A" film by any means. But it runs circles around today's crap.

Gator - with Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed. Both characters are outright complex, again, when compared with today's crap. Back then ? Gator was just a "B" movie, if I recall.

=========

This has actually been going on for a while.

To take a relatively recent example: Encanto.

It's about a girl needing confirmatory love from her grandmother because her grandmother essentially doesn't approve of her.

In a movie about a magic house and family designed for 6 year olds.

So much goes over the heads of the kids, but it makes the whole thing so specifically targeted so as to be, by nature, not universal. It's mass media targeting the self-centered concerns of the writer/director. Which is fine, until that's pretty much all you get, nothing is universal anymore, and all you get is the surface level fun.

78 Hollywood couldn't make another "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" if their lives depended on it. Good stories are still being made, but not in Hollywood. A lot of authors are putting out intricate stuff. More than I can keep up with.

But Hollywood, I guess because of the nature of bureaucracy, is dead. Which sucks. I wonder how Tarantino gets away with it - besides the fact that he makes money. His stuff, although you may not like it, is at least different. With a little bit of gray. The bad guy's hat isn't pure black. The good guy isn't 100% white.

=========

AI will make great animation movies. Now all the villains will have six fingers ala "The Princess Bride." They can effortlessly create and recreate thousands of hours of animated footage for some low bid contractor to try to stitch together into a semi coherent 90 minute movie.

However!!! Eventually a creative ACCOUNTING Genius will find a way to make the original movie, the six sequels; and the three prequels all out of the same bloated AI Run Amok mess merely by making B grade drivel.

163 AI will make great animation movies. Now all the villains will have six fingers ala "The Princess Bride." They can effortlessly create and recreate thousands of hours of animated footage for some low bid contractor to try to stitch together into a semi coherent 90 minute movie.

However!!! Eventually a creative ACCOUNTING Genius will find a way to make the original movie, the six sequels; and the three prequels all out of the same bloated AI Run Amok mess merely by making B grade drivel.

That accounting guy will make money hand over fist because he knows his audience and what they want, not some pretentious film studio snob.

249 >>> New York Governor Kathy Hochul said the incident happened at 11:27 a.m. when someone driving a car that looked like Trump crashed into a median at the border crossing and try to blame President Biden for weak border policies.

"a car that looked like Trump" - a giant paper mache hear strapped on top, or maybe a body wrap with Trupm flying like superman on both sides?

Didn't Disney do a live-action film about Lobo, the king wolf who was the bane of sheep ranchers in New Mexico around 1910 or so? Ernest Thompson Seton tells the story of his contest with Lobo in Wild Animals I Have Known, and I'm pretty sure there was a "Lobo" film.

251 The Terrorist Attack was at the US Northern border and not at the Southern Border. So, You cannot blame President Biden for this disaster. If it is anybody's fault it is Trump's because he did not build a wall along the US/Canadian Border.

276 ...When Conan died in 2017, Milei reportedly visited a medium to communicate with his late beloved pet. It was in that telepathic conversation, Milei has said, that Conan relayed God’s mission for him to become President of Argentina. According to Argentina’s La Nacion newspaper, Milei believes that he and Conan first met in a previous life more than 2,000 years ago as a gladiator and lion in the Roman Colosseum and that the pair did not fight because they were destined to join forces in the future (which he believes was a prophecy of his animal-influenced presidential campaign)...

280 >The last Disney/Pixar movie I saw in the theater was Inside Out

As an example of how corrupt Disney was even then, _Inside Out_ is a blatant ripoff of the low-budget Canadian local children's TV show _Mental Block_. While you might assume there was no chance anyone at Disney had ever seen _Mental Block_, Disney has been recruiting the best animators from Sheridan College's (Oakville, Ontario) animation program for decades.

>It's mass media targeting the self-centered concerns of the writer/director

It's the LEGO gender roles study again: boys want to be the main character, girls want the main character to be them. And the women in charge at Disney have the power to do exactly that.
