I mean, I liked Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad though, and the show was a direct spin-off of that. Yes, please. Vision has appeared in several movies now in addition to WandaVision, so the people asking, “Who the fuck cares about Vision?” presumably know who Vision is and don’t care enough about him to get excited.

Not this much time.

For 6 grand, I would absolutely care.

...And?

I wasn’t looking at the screen for a lot of the video. Regardless, for a product that cost this much that was mostly unprecedented, everyone’s supervisor would be breathing down their necks to make sure they didn’t screw it up. The marketing felt like every department and team was making their own decisions - and…

Yet, clearly a lot of folks loved it.

The price is per room, with additional people costing a marginal amount more. So the more ways you split the cost by sharing the room with other people, the less it is per person. But it’s deceptive in that rooms started at around $4K, so any solo guests would be screwed. Even families seem like they’re getting a…

Yeah, I watched it after posting that. Definitely didn’t expect to watch all 4 hours, but I don’t regret a second of it.

You gotta figure there’s at least a handful of people out there whose reason for celibacy includes, “Just in case anyone makes a virgin dating show.”

But on the other hand: The Fall Guy’s box office.

Co-signed. I remember watching the animated Avengers show from the late-90’s/early-00’s, which was my introduction to the Avengers. It wasn’t great, but what I always remember was how Vision stood out to me as “the lame one.”

Stars is plural. Chris Hemsworth is singular.

Yeah, I’ve heard that the experience of flying Spirit isn’t that bad, people just hate how everything is monetized. But the whole reason I would choose something like Spirit is if I knew I didn’t have to check in any luggage. I typically sleep through the flights, so I don’t need any pretzels or a tiny cup of Sprite.

I even wonder if the mid-meal notification was on purpose. In fiction, people leave their meals halfway-through all the time, and from what Jenny was saying (and maybe you can confirm), I got the impression that it’s easy to get food outside of scheduled meal times. Plus it’s included in the cost of the experience, so…

I think what some people are missing is that Jenny is upfront about how she saw other people having a great time and loving the whole experience. She’s not denying that, but pointing out the ways Disney built it to prioritize profitability over making sure every guest had a good time (which was something the parks…

I had to go on coupon day…

I encourage watching the entire video, or at least the last ~hour where she directly addresses things like cutting corners and being cheap. TL;DW she’s a theme park enthusiast and compares the experience to other experiences, including at Disney’s parks, and to me she made a very compelling argument why the experience…

The video explains how the marketing is bad, but what I want to know is why Disney, at seemingly every opportunity, approved the release of such shoddy marketing materials. Was it a simple case of Bob Chapek micromanaging, or was there some kind of power struggle behind the scenes?

One of the things she acknowledges upfront is that different people will have different experiences, but that her experience was far from unique. It seems that part of the experience is built around some people having a better experience than others. For example, the pole that obscured her view during the dinner show…

But it’s not like it’s the first time a brand new experience or product has been introduced. When a new concept is being introduced to the marketplace, there’s generally more pressure on the marketing department to figure out how to sell it to the public. In most successful launches, a unique and memorable marketing…
