Star Wars: Episode VII

It's one of those gerbil balls with a magnet and a bowl. I could build that thing with a machine shop. Jesus.

Well, I'll be much happier if I'm wrong than you will be if you are.

Why?

Why do you trust them? What reason do you possibly have?

Disney has continued to water down their flagship characters for 20 or 30 years. I don't even know why a child going to Disney World would want mickey merch. Or Donald merch. They are vague nothings.

There is like a 20 or 30 year gap with them doing anything of substance with Donald. Like It was a few episodes of Duck Tails, then a worthless shadow of himself in House of Mouse, a shadow of himself in Kingdom Hearts, Horrible bland cg shows for 3 year olds, and finally the new shorts in 2013.

Ducktails ended in 1990. That is 23 years of either nothing or shitty shallow attempts. We are only just now getting anything worth a shit with the new shorts.


Don't get me started on how Disney channel has been turned into lifetime for little girls. And Marvel? Marvel and US comicbook anything is a mess of shit. Its the same shit over and over again. And what has Disney done right? Not stick their dick in it? Good job disney, you didn't shove your dick in a cow pie.

Let's trust the fate of the first or second great scifi film franchise to a company's greatest success was not humping a pile of shit.

You act like the prequels don't exist and the franchise wasn't already in shit.

Nobody cares about Donald Duck.

That proves IP's point.
Did anyone care about Star Lord or Groot before that movie came out? Hell no. But since the product was bolstered by a semi decent movie, they're relevant now.

I know that when I buy Hello Kitty merchandise, I do so because I'm a big fan of her well-developed character and deep backstory.

You can't really compare the two.

So how old were you when Disney stopped making cartoons that failed to live up to what you were looking for?

What you're getting at isn't relevant.
