Scott Eastwood Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 I didn't see it myself but Merida from Brave prolly fits that a bit better. Mulan is a "Disney Princess" but isn't actually a princess at all. But yeah, I'm all for shaking the game up a bit. Retreading old territory is hit or miss with movies like this but it's like they're aiming at everything that made the original great and just keeping the base premise of "girl plays guy in army" I thought she married in the second film? I also notice Kida should be considered a Disney Princess but she's not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNX Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Rapunzel, beast with the frying pan. But na, Mulan married Shang in the second movie. He's no Prince, just a general. As for Kida, you only get princess status if your movie rolls in the dough. No moolah, no crown. MatPat had an interesting Film Theory about qualifications for Disney Princesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Disney dont need a badass princess. Something being badass doesnt necessarily make it good. What Disney need are princesses with actual character, good stories and depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Indeed they do, but it thought we were talking about them in this new slate of live action remakes, so I mean they should adapt those who have depth to keep that depth and those that didnt, to give depth too.

JGPLX. Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Mulan was no princess and that was the entire point. Mulan was a *censored*ing G that cannot be denied. Also the new Jungle Book was ace, but I'm generally not a fan of all these remakes. Shows how stifled the film industry is in terms of creativity and freedom.

Also the new Jungle Book was ace, but I'm generally not a fan of all these remakes. Shows how stifled the film industry is in terms of creativity and freedom. Freedom yes, but creativity no. Film makers are as creative as ever, but unique movies do not sell as many tickets as the big branded ones (the ones that are usually remakes and reboots and re-imaginings.) So therefor Hollywood only pushes to make those. If a paper company has one product that sold more than others then it stands to reason that they would push that product on their clients and customers. Same thing the Hollywood studios and producers are doing. There are awesome and unique films that come out yearly, but they are not nearly marketed as much as Marvel, Star Wars, the horror remakes, Transformers and whatever garbage The Rock is doing. Movies like I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore, Tangerine, Green Room, Arrival, John Wick, Sicario, Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Crazy Rich Asians, A Quiet Place, Moonlight, BlackkKlansman. I could go on, but these are all unique IP's that have come out in recent years that are all solid to great movies. People will never stop being creative.

Shows how stifled the film industry is in terms of creativity and freedom. to be fair, it's not as easy to stay fresh and creative when the movie-making business has been running for over a century. That aside, there's still creativity, and as Creep said, it's just harder to find such movies because studios will spend more on guaranteed moneymakers or movies with big names behind them. And as someone said, art and commerce are in the end incompatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did stick around for The Frozen 2 trailer at the end? I did not, I wasn't even aware of it. Left halfway through, but it's not like I like Frozen much, so no prob. Felt like that too, but I liked Shank, she seemed badass. I'm not gonna watch Holmes and Watson. I don't find Will Ferrell funny, and they'd probably be over the top as usual with Watson and Holmes.

Now that you mentioned it, I don't think I could stand watching Will Ferrell make a mockery of Sherlock Holmes. Plus, it wouldn't be a good way to spend Christmas day.

It's a joke they act like their going to play a Frozen 2 trailer, instead it's ralph singing never gonna give you up. I did love Shank also loved the Disney Princess involvement I have no interest in seeing Holmes and Watson Edited December 4, 2018 by Scott Eastwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Holmes and Watson were pretty over the top. Holmes was cocky as all hell. Robert Downey Jr's portrayal in those Guy Ritchie movies is rather accurate.

My problem is with Reilly and Ferrell's brand of comedy. I find it way too over the top, and the trailer confirms my fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I like John C. Reilly a lot, but Will Ferrell sucks I agree. I'm not saying I wanna see them in a Sherlock Holmes movie, but that character was always rather over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam the d00d Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) I think both of them are great. John C. Reilly has a lot more range and is maybe my favorite actor currently, but most Will Ferrell movies Ive seen hes been hilarious in. I mean I even liked Anchorman 2, which for some reason is a hot take I guess. Edited December 5, 2018 by sam the d00d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
