honestly, Disney's treatment of the franchise killed my life long love for it

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 22 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Lucas had already taken it out to the woodshed several times.

The franchise has historically been at its best in the fallow years, when people were just tapping into the IP to tell their own stories.

But you can say the same of Trek, of Harry Potter, of Marvel and DCU. Any time the suits take over, content trends towards slop

Agreed... however, I do have a specially dark and bitter place in my heart for Disney. They have a rotten touch and ruin every IP they buy

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I mean, I generally like their original work. Moana, Lilo and Stitch, The Incredibles, Zootopia - all very entertaining, creative, and packed with talented performances.

And they can even make solid kids action movies. Disenchanted, Hocus Pocus, the original Pirates of the Caribbean, Tron - it's clearly within the capacity of the studio to make good films.

When they buy up these outside franchises and "Disney-fy" them, though... Woof.

disenchanted was disney? i thought that was primarily a groening project.

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 3 points 11 hours ago

there's also a movie with the same name, not to be confused with the Groening/Netflix show.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Disenchanted, the movie. Not the Netflix cartoon. The feature length movie is a sequel to Enchanted, a live-action parody of the traditional Disney Princess trope.

I thought Incredibles predated the Disney takeover? Otherwise I agree

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

The sequel came out in 2018 and was enjoyable

LucasArts did some of the best Star Wars games. I loved Jedi Outcast, best jedi experience out there, and X-Wing Alliance thanks to the amount of ships the game gave you
