  • You said it yourself that you were holding on to watching luca because nobody told you! That’s literally waiting on what everybody says before forming your own opinion. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying you are FORCED to like it, but rather than you should be the one making that decision.

    Also, saying you are burnt out with disney because of crap movies is also deeply subjective. Other people may not think their recent movies are crap, after all they are really not that different from the stuff they did earlier. What makes you think they are, though? You provided no grounds as to why you think that, you just said it. Maybe you should re evaluate what role nostalgia plays in this, but really pixar movies have not changed as much a you seem to think.

    And again, i mean no hostility to you and i get why you might hate a giant corporation like disney. But generalizing in the way you are doing, without regards to nuance, is one of the reasons the movie industry is as it is now.


  • The thing is that ‘actually good’ is something subjective, and that it WILL change what it means person to person. What happens nowadays is that every piece of media will be analized extensively for every possible flaw (and if none, create some), which will be magnified online as negativity promotes engagement. You can see this happening daily online, with everything. Then, the way the online hivemind works, people will associate these ‘flaws’ with the media product and society will enforce its opinion on the average user. It’s a meme to be negative about something, and our brains like to be part of the ‘in-group’ so it also feels good. You can see examples of this on every cult classic that was hated when it came out.




  • Movies (or movie style, more properly said) changes all the time. I don’t get what are you trying to say here. But just because animation has gotten considerably better, it doesn’t mean they are different. As an example: luca (one of recent pixar films) has the same style and charm as brave (pixar movie from 10+ years back) and as toy story (pixar movie from 20+ yeara back). All of them capable of making me cry. Their animation style has gotten better and more polished, but they beat with the same heart. But luca (a post pandemic film) didn’t amass the same number of people to the theaters, because people are finding more convenient to wait for streaming.
