Disney/Pixar In General

As someone who saw it when was in theaters in February, DO IT. Absolutely worth it. Should've been in theaters from the start instead of getting dumped onto Disney+.

Hey, Jay? Work on giving us a proper Marvel vs. Capcom 4 and I'll give you my vote of approval.

("But we got Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite—")

I said proper.

A proper MvC4 would have had X-Men and new Capcom reps like Akira Kazama, Asura, Gene from God Hand, and not ditch vets like Tron Bonne, Viewtiful Joe, Amaterasu or have the characters look plastic-y because the team had a budget on the same level as a DLC pack.

But I digress.

So, I’ve come up with a 10-6 for my “most messed up Disney Villain Deaths”, so here is the full list:

I dunno, King Candy's pretty bad. He was trying to stop himself, but merging with a bug meant half of his mind was hypnotized by light.

I think the "lava pit" Frollo falls into is supposed to be a vat of molten iron. It's been a while since I saw the film, though.

I always figured it was boiling oil.

I feel like the most disturbing Pixar villain death is probably either Hopper (fed to baby birds) or Syndrome (getting sucked into a plane engine by his cape).

Fingers crossed we get a dragon involved in "Moana 2" for the "Year of the Dragon".

Dragons as westerners define them don't really exist in Pacific Mythology. Giant retilian or serpentine monsters, yes (and may fall under Our Dragons Are Different).

A giant sea dragon snake maybe

Maybe it's because it's a Disney Junior series, but I don't think they've made any Funko Pops based on Spidey and His Amazing Friends.

So, I randomly decided to binge Gargoyles...

All in all, I had a pretty fun time. This show felt pretty ahead of the game, since a lot of cartoons weren't really serialized back in the 90's and Disney didn't start making that the semi-norm till two decades later. The characters are solid, the world-building is well thought out, and the emotional moments usually strike home... Most of the time. I do gotta say though, this show definitely stuck out like a sore thumb compared to everything else that was part of the Disney Afternoon.

I think Season 1 was my favorite season, if only because it wasn't dragged down by something like the Avalon World Tour. (geez, minus the cute moments between Goliath and Angela that one was kind of a chore to get through) and The Goliath Chronicles being... well, a prime example of Seasonal Rot.

I have to say I love Amphibia for giving Bill Farmer the chance to show he can do heartbreaking drama.

And they balanced it out by getting him, the VA of Goofy, of all people, to say lines like "Eat the Rich!" in a Disney cartoon.

I wonder why Amphibia was not the show murdered before its time like The Owl House was. Both were major hits in the end though.

And he didn't in A Goofy Movie?

I knew you would say that, and that's true, that movie REALLY showed what he could do. Sorry for not including it in the post.

Cold-blooded murder and saying "Eat the rich" is fine but we can't have lesbians, I guess.

Someone should add Ralph Breaks the Internet to Audience-Alienating Ending.

So DAMN TRUE!

Although...I will admit, that despite me knowing of several other entries like Frozen II and Toy Story 4 and why they're on that list...

...I still enjoyed them. Even have them on Blu-Ray.

Ralph didn't wreck the net

I still liked Frozen 2 more. It is flawed, but I found it to be less flawed than the first.

Maybe it's the fact that I'm easy to amuse, IDK.

The angst over Frozen II seemed a bit excessive to me. "I'll never see you again Elsa... until Friday! Be ready for game night!"

I did think it needed some work to show better that Arendale needed a politician to run it and Elsa was just too introverted.

It's starting to feel like that "body count" joke is the only thing people have to say about Mulan nowadays. x_x >.>
