Hopefully the people he hire have other options since given the public knowledge nowadays of his work ethics, I don’t understand why anyone would opt to work for him."

Apart from people who frequent these chat rooms, none of "the public" knows (or cares) about his work ethics. If he produces shows that people want to see, they're going

Do you also find the 1939 Wizard of Oz film to be “an insult” to L Frank Baum? Or the same for Wicked to MGM? Is Black Ariel a slap in the face to Disney’s 1989 animated classic? How about Disney’sDescendants series?"

 

Tremendously bad analogies. Neither of those movies was a live action remake of a beloved cartoon reproducing the look of said cartoon. The point is, this movie's whole reason for be

I thought the point of all the live action remakes was the keep the IP under some form of copyright and sell more merchandise. The films don't have to be good to achieve that. Disney won't be able to extend their copyright on the original 1937 film forever, but certain element

I don't have much of a dog in this fight--I don't see the point of making these kinds movies (live action remakes of cartoons) and likely won't see it--but I'm glad the two leads taking opposite positions on the Israel-Palestine conflict, which could easily have brought attacks to one or the other, doesn't seem to be influencing the critics. I like to

The last thing a live-action Snow White remake needs to be is "socially relevant." Yes, the story is antiquated. It's a fairy tale at least 300 years old. It happens the original still holds up, not because it is still timely but because it is in all important ways timeless (and why would we expect characters living in some vaguely Middle Ages setting to have "socially relevant" lives????). 

I don't get the point of any of these live-action re

I think suicide wouid have been darker, since it would imply suffering despair. Neverthess, what did happen is absoultely horrfiying and depressing. I don't understand why they didn't care someone working to look after them, especially at their age and considering their individual infirmities. I guess she considered herself capable of looking after him. I am baffled by and don't what to know how she managed somehow to eat rat feces. It's nightmarish. Depite

It really isn't. But I think what actually bugged people was that the title of this thread was not initially punctuated as a question but a statement, which had everyone rushing in to learn the latest news. And there wasn't any. Which, given this show and this star, was bound to result in
