“...unlike Ewan and Kendall, Shiv seeks to claim no territory here, save what exists in her own heart.”

“Halle Bailey... evoking the wide-eyed innocence...”

Galaxy’s Edge opened before Covid. A lot of the stuff in the hotel was supposed to be in Galaxy’s Edge based on their original presentations. Disney managed to spend over a billion dollars on it, but still cheaped out, which is almost unfathomable. So, yeah, that’s on Chapek (who was in charge of parks) but also on Ige…

Yes. I was thinking mainly of the first sky island, which I found cumbersome to traverse and explorer. You also have to do it mostly without shrine traveling and 100% without the paraglider. I just wanted to leave it, not from excitement, but because I hated being on it.

“In 20 hours with the game, shrine duty never felt like chores, because we always knew they’d be showing off something cool.”

The problem I have is that he’s basically inert. It would be like following the baby from Willow when it’s kidnapped. It doesn’t do anything. It just goes wherever it’s taken.

Yeah. I guess I was more responding to the original comment. Sorry, I should’ve been clearer.

“Wendy [has] a stronger arc than in previous incarnations...She’s courageous and witty while facing down obstacles and figuring out that growing up is an important step towards her happiness.”

What’s funny to me is the source they are quoting used to tout himself as a Disney insider. I used to spend too much time on Disney boards and he always had allegedly inside information. Usually it was something that could never be verified (Bob Iger secretly hates Kathleen Kennedy) or nonsense about the parks (a…

It reminds me a bit of the issues surrounding The Woman King. Evidently the heroic characters of that film were likely nothing of the sort in reality.

These quotes just sound like her trying justify a decision based on what she wants to be true. Also, the childhood excuse of, “Everybody else is doing it!”

Yes. I had absolutely zero recollection of his first name. Rhodey is all I remembered.

Makes sense. I only ever remember Rhodey.

“Terrence Howard as Jim Rhodes”

As if that writing wasn’t bad enough, now we want to triple-down on it? No thank you.

Right on. I guess “not good” was too strong. I just can’t handle the lyrics and Hetfield’s voice on the song.

To Live Is To Die and Bleeding Me are the big omissions for me.

I really like Sweet Amber and The Unnamed Feeling. Frantic is not good, though. I don’t get how that one made the list.
