Damn Ocean know what's nuts? I like Star Wars AND other sci fi stuff lmao

I don't even count Star Wars as Science Fiction- it's like, fantasy set in Space lmao

i know. it all the most basic fantasy tropes but in space. i don't know why every gets so excited 

Ocean must be so fun at parties lol

Star Wars world is inevitable

Hell I could see it being the the first world reveal at a supposed 'D23' trailer. (again not trying to get peoples hopes up)

I understand the popularity of something can make you dislike something even more intensely- that's me with One Piece lol but, you shouldn't just try and stab any conversation with Star Wars to death- it's something a lot of us want

Not ever star wars fan, ya know

Is a raging neckbeard who hates women and dark skinned people LMAO

I can easily imagine them giving us a Star Wars world in KH4 that's just as disappointing as the Journey to Batu world in the Sims 4.

Who plays the Sims that's under the age of 35 😂

^Once upon a time, at least 30% of the world's population. Right now, probably around 10%.

Actually quite a number of people LOL

Shhhhhhhh

I'm shit talking 😔

It's frozen for me (though I dislike it for other reasons, too)

I think quite a good many criticisms to Frozen are valid, as your are I'm sure, but to me I think a solid number of times "it cause it's popular" is the heart of it for a lot of people lol

Like Roger Ebert said, "it is not enough to like something or dislike it, but to like/dislike it for the right reasons, and know why you do so."

(Mild paraphrase.)

the writing was just not good

literally "let it go" carried that movie

What didn't you like about it?

The writing I mean?

It's worth mentioning that the songs for a film can be as important a story telling device as the script can. Frozen has two excellent pieces for that in Let It Go and Do You Wanna Build a Snowman. One is a self actualization theme for one of the female leads, while the other beautifully conveys the strained relationship between both of the female leads.

Combined with the environmental story telling in the scene where Anna sacrifices herself and the subsequent one where she defrosts, you don't need anything else from the film to understand what it is trying to say. And the film doesn't suffer IMHO for having a script that mostly relies on mediocre to alright jokes over the course of the rest of its runtime. That stuff keeps the child half of the audience from growing bored, and even though the humor doesn't always land with the adults, it is at least writing that they can understand.

In the reverse a film with significantly more to say in its script, Pocahontas; gains very little from having such an excellent script. Because it also includes the song Colors of the Wind which covers everything the film wants to convey all by itself in a much more relatable and simple way.

Edit: One of my oldest memories of Pocahontas is reading a review for it in a magazine where I saw the words "word vomit" used in the media for the first time that I can remember. In the opinion of whoever wrote that review the script of the film was a difficult one for audience retention because the script is hard to stay connected with all the way through the film's runtime.

Colors of the wind at the very least is about teaching John than it is the audience at that point but you make a solid critique

Tbh, I'm kind of a culprit of this too. I just don't like how much that movie infected the general media when it came out. Also Let it go makes me wanna rip my ears out

But as much as I don't wanna and probably never will, I should rewatch it so I'm able to shit on it with proper evidence and critiques
