Hmhhhh but no one ITT made the claim you're trying to mock with your post???

>Implying this isn't inevitable under capitalism
Before long all culture will be completely homogenised

IT 2 has a chance of surpassing Aladdin but that wont really matter since Frozen 2 and Star Wars will also pass it. Disney really kicked the shit out of everyone this year

Cinemas are stupid anyway, only good thing is the big screen and audio.
But I'd still rather have releases go straight to on demand so I can watch them in my home away from annoying people chewing their popcorn and kids making noise.

well pardon us, mr gucci loafers

Allowing the Fox buyout was a mistake

No let it become too big to carry its own weight.

>he actually watches movies
>he watches TV too

toy story 4 already came out? when the fuck did that happen?

I've never used twitter, what's with the little symbols next to the hastags?

>I can’t stand mirth. Cheerful people seem guilty to me, because they can’t comprehend the mournful value of existence. I accept happiness only in children and the elderly, with all others I am intolerant.

The Murdochs are the Disney largest shareholders who can conceivably replace Iger when it retires along Kathleen Kennedy in a year or two.

It's not going to bomb. I hate it as well but just come to terms with it now

They are litteraly growing stronger as you post this. So yes.

God I miss the times when adults consumed adult media like Spielberg movies and Grisham novels.

we live in a society

Extremely weak bait. Try harder.

kek look at this fucking retard

not an argument

No, it should be put under government control.

What committee?

Pointless getting into an argument with someone who probably considers Tarantino “adult media”

Instead people should just develop some taste

lel the projection

The IBTC

The core of the issue is really that people value Disney as some kind of cultural touchstone and not a massive media conglomerate
If someone said they were a "Paramount nut", named their pets after Optimus Prime and Ethan Hunt and threw Paramount parties, you'd look at them like they were a lunatic, but a grown woman does all that free Disney shilling and suddenly she's cute and quirky

so this is the true face... of a society

somebody get this hothead outta here

>Should Disney be broken up?
Yes undoubtedly, I'd personally argue that the North American film industry as a whole has become far too centralised and either needs breaking up or placing in the hands of the people who actually make the movies to begin with, rather than power simply residing with the likes of producers and rentiers who in reality contribute very little to the creative, film making process. I'd argue that the prevalence of monopolies (and aspiring oligopolies such as Disney) has led to the stagnation in quality and creativity within the film industry. Large companies either earning enough income from elsewhere are able to pitch loss leader after loss leader or companies such as Disney are so dead set on following corporate formulae that they end up instead making and remaking the same story several times over as a sure fire way of expanding the incomes of corporate executives and the acting elite. Breaking the industry into smaller companies would once again force these respective entities to act in a more competitive and creative manner to capture the public's imagination, devolving more power to those directly involved in the filmmaking process could lead to a greater spread of creativity throughout the industry and create a better working experience for those involved overall.

Such an action of course would require a very strong-willed government, it cannot be denied.

>people use these movies as escapism, and its arrogant that they're wasting people's brainpower on century old characters instead of something relevant
Gotcha

This. Even if you manage to break up Disney, someone else will come along and make billions with the same formula.

Yes. Not like it's individual studios like Marvel Studios, LucasArts or Pixar couldn't find funding otherwise.

People like to point that millenials are immature but that's because they've spent most of their lifes as adults in a state of crushing uncertainty which, I think, actively stifles personal growth. What helps us grow is challenge, not existential dread. The generation growing up no has every reason not to believe in a stable future, neither for themselves, nor for the world at large.

What else is there but to long for a simpler life? Sure you can treat the millenial love for low brow pop culture; video games, super hero movies, cartoons and so on, as symptoms of arrested development but for many of them childhood was the only point in their lifes when they had no reason to be afraid of the near future.

What I'm saying is, don't be too critical of people taking refuge in escapism, rather think about why people feel like they need that escapism. Think about it. You finish school. You look for a job. You realize you have no idea what you're actually good at, what you'd enjoy doing and if you're even capable of learning a specific occupation. But all around you there's a society saying "Find a way to get food on the table, because we sure as hell aren't gonna take care of it." You're lost, your afraid, you have no idea what to do. And suddenly every choice that's open to you seems like a trap that might very well lead to a life, or at least a very long period, of suffering. It's not hard to see why fantasy novels and action movies are popular with young people.

No. They are nowhere near a monopoly and the market of films is bigger than ever. Don't blame them for playing the game well. They know what the market currently wants.

If they were anywhere close to being an actual monopoly maybe, for now it's not Disney's fault americans pay to eat their turds

Reminder that the Fox sale to Disney was hurried with no oversight because Fox's owner was personal friends with the president. This is what an oligarchy looks like.

Yes. Most of these super corps need to be broken up and in some cases have most of the upper echelon lined up and shot. Same with most politicians. Capitalism is fine, crony capitalism with the govt helping certain companies maintain near monopolies isn’t.

I thought the same about DC when Aquaman released.

underrated post.
