Lucasfilm can't even get Star Wars to succeed anymore (Andor was a flop for those who don't know), how the hell are they going to make this sequel to a half forgotten 80s movie work?
Disney's quality is awful these days, and they get by solely on brand recognition, something this doesn't really have. I just don't see this succeeding.
They did it because Amazon has been doing Lord of the Rings and Netflix had the Witcher (it'll gas out soon enough without Henry)
So they wanted to do their own fantasy show. And it hurts too much to do original material so why not just shove in some Lesbians to whatever you have lying around.
Not surprising, if people feel like I do about it. I saw the Critical Drinker posted a video talking it up today and after about 2 minutes of it I realized I wasn't listening. I've reached a point where Star Wars is a franchise I don't care about. It's not one I love, it's not one I hate, it's definitely not one I love to hate, it's... there. It occupies the same amount of my interest as the untranslated art films of some French director no one's ever heard of. I'm sure it has its fans and it might even be very good, but I just don't care.
Not doubting what you write, but what metric can be used to determine whether a show is a flop or not? Number of people watched? Number of minutes watched? Are these numbers available publicly? Or is it based on estimates?
“If you look at the original Willow, by no fault of anyone, it’s not very diverse,”
He says about an 80's movie with a dwarf as the protagonist. I honestly can't think of another until Peter Dinklage in Game of Thrones, and that was an ensemble cast. Willow put the dwarf front and center as the main hero.
"Diverse" is just code for women, brown people, and fags. Anyone with half a brain sees this; they're not fooling anyone.
There was a short-lived TV series with a little dude as the protag, it was some kind of hour-long adventure-type series, iirc. I think it only lasted one season.
Hmm...not one regular white man in the group, one "multiracial" actual lesbian, two kids portraying lesbians and a little person. Time to press the "ignore" button...
Kasdan was born to a Jewish family,[1] the son of Meg (née Goldman), a writer, and film director Lawrence Kasdan.[2] He is the brother of director and actor Jake Kasdan.
This show is feminist woke trash. Willow doesn't even make an appearance at least in the first half hour of the first episode. I couldn't make it any further. It was so boring.
That's not being pro-faggot, that's just airing kinks in public. Straight guys getting off to lezzies getting it on has been a trope for a very long while now. It's every bit as creepy as Roiland and Harmon constantly referencing incest.
More like two camps. The fat, mannish "bulldyke" lesbians (majority), and then the skinny scrawny boi lesbians. Actually I think most of those have become trans manlets today.
It's pretty interesting that there really are staggeringly few physically "normal" lesbians.
I wonder what the target audience to this is? Willow is not that big of a movie, it does not have that much nostalgia fans to milk and yet they are going to try to sell it as a gay fan fiction?
Who makes this decisions?
There's way more bi and lesbian women in Hollywood than there are dwarfs. This is just erasure of a diverse and rare population subset. This Jonathan chick doesn't like minorities, it seems.

I remember people saying this would eventually happen.

Disney plus as a whole has lost so much money that they ousted their chief executive.
Can we know whether that was really the reason?
Would Chapek be gone if Disney+ was making bonkers money? Nah
It's always hard to tell for sure, but using Nielson's top ten is usually a solid indicator. https://www.nielsen.com/top-ten/#streaming
Andor is in 8th place on the Original tab and did higher numbers than Netflix's Dahmer, which I've been led to believe was incredibly successful.

EDIT: Found it - The Wizard with David Rappaport.
Oh, yeah, Time Bandits.

Child sexual abuse
Is something that only had a single movie really deserving of the descriptor "legacy franchise?"
I’ve never seen the original. I’m sure this wasn’t in it This is the typical pandering to a small fraction of the population.
The original is campy but fun. Val Kilmer is badass.
I’ll see it eventually. Surprised I didn’t see it when I was little. I doubt that Disney has any intention of making a good story
Never heard of willow
Only Williow that matter is Welloooooo from TNA
Every time
Feel bad for Warwick Davis having to put up with this trash. People that know nothing of Fantasy that feel it needs "modernization".

Its the wedge for "acceptance" because it is easy to pretty it up so normies arent grossed out. Real life lesbos are disgusting and almost always fat.

"Bulldyke" is such an underused term.
Lesbianism is a sign that whoever is making it is part of the More Feminine Way.
Haven't watched any new movies in years, I've given up on Hollywood - f@^k them.

Such foolishness.

I see they saying "contemporary" instead of "modern" hehe.
