I noted this downthread, but while this article reports that this movie is set to be released first, that’s not being reported anywhere else. I assumed from Gizmodo’s reporting that it would be the third movie, and while that’s not exactly confirmed either, The Guardian pegs the first two (Mangold’s and Filoni’s) as…

I feel a minor disturbance in the Force, as if a million neckbeards screamed out in impotent rage.

What backlash? A few people on Twitter making snide comments isn’t “backlash” that needs to be explained with an obnoxiously sensational headline.

yeah like dr strange in thor 3 is probably my platonic ideal of an MCU crossover - show up for 5-10 minutes, bang out a few jokes, keep it moving.

People like seeing characters they like interact with each other, which companies take to mean constant Epic Crossover Events. Same thing plagues the original comics. I like that Spider-Man can swing by Daredevil every now and again, I don’t like when some Crisis of Venom means every single storyline has to…

“And if it becomes just a bunch of nonsense onscreen, it gets really boring.”

I’m a non-binary pansexual person, and someone who’s the first to call out homophobia, and I really don’t think what Liu said was homophobic. What he was doing was talking about a) the fact that paedophilia is an urge some people have, like any other sexual urge b) that society used to be cool with men having sex with…

My first thought upon reading about this was “Disney totally Scott Walker’d them!” When Wisconsin voters decided they’d had enough of Walker in the governor’s office and voted him out, he and his team completely neutered the governor’s power before leaving office.

Hey now, as a white man operating a POC sock puppet account, I care DEEPLY about matters involving my demographic, so long as I can yell at AOC about it.

I wouldn’t call banning books in schools facist, he’s not banning them outright.

I’m sure you’re right. Because this particular land agreement with the state was always so unusual, and so advantageous to Disney, they’d definitely have some plans set up ahead of time for what to do if the government tried to mess it up. And now that they’ve boxed the Republicans in, I’m sure Disney already has sever…

Yep, he has to scramble to save face as he’s already losing ground to 45 in GOP straw polls and now just handed him a platter of “he thought he beat Disney and they kicked Meatball Ron’s ass instead” on the campaign trail

You need to look deeper into things that DeSantis has actually done and you’ll realize he’s an actual fascist. He unconstitutionally fired a duly elected state attorney, personally redistricted the state (again, unconstitutionally), gutted a liberal arts college because it was a liberal arts college and forced in far…

There’s a reason why attempting a crime can still get you charged with that crime.  Intent matters.  Just because they failed doesn’t mean their beliefs and actions aren’t aligned with fascism. It just means they suck at it.

I’d bet good money that Disney has had this specific action ready to go for decades. Just one of many contingency plans for various possible eventualities.

An attempt was made. A failed fascist policy is still a fascist policy.

1. This is the goverment running a private business’ land for them.

2. They were talking about ‘changing the programming’ that disney aired. So they thought they were getting 100% control of the company.

3. They already had that control for decades, they were being punished for speaking against a discriminatory law.

Michelle Obama and George Bush didn’t strip the U.S. of Roe v Wade or hundreds of thousands of live due to covid, or anything else that’s the direct result of that orange fuckwit. So yes, that’s my mentality. And go fuck yourself.

What’s even dumber is he’s going to “investigate” the move...just walk away, man. You got your “W” with your handpicked board of friends. You already took a victory lap. Just let your buds meet up for a nice dinner every once in a while, act like they’re in charge, and everyone goes about their business.
