  • People were not happy about some of the creative choices.

  • This movie will be very different, and the media, of course, is right there to make sure everybody's pissed off and mad.

  • But yet they places like the Hollywood and Disney keep Cal telling to them so, you know.

  • Yeah, this isn't gonna go well.

  • This isn't going to go where There are a lot of a lot of things going on against this movie.

  • And now it seems like nobody is happy with it, and it costs a tone of money.

  • Yeah, this is me.

  • We're talking like Star Wars level Star Wars, level amounts of money here.

  • So before we get into the video, please subscribe. 00:00:57.180 --> 00:01:3.890 More pop culture news views and rants were only less than 4000 less than 4000 away from 100,000 guys. 00:01:3.890 --> 00:01:6.440 Thank you for the support Means a lot definitely does. 00:01:6.790 --> 00:01:9.500 Eso is move on a girl worth fighting for?

  • Is it a movie worth fighting for?

  • I don't know.

  • I don't know.

  • Um, everybody's mad cameras.

  • The media in true media fashion has, uh, first of all, the production people put their foot in it first because you know, anymore, they have to go out there and make announcements about, you know, look how you know we're pushing this envelope of that envelope and then the media has run with it.

  • Everybody is blaming the other side, but in reality, everybody's pissed.

  • I mean, everybody's but you're on their side.

  • But everyone is mad.

  • Yeah, so let's let's talk about some stuff that's come up before we talk about that.

  • Let's talk about the fact the movie cost $200 million.

  • We're talking.

  • This is almost as much as the force awakens for a Disney fairytale remake.

  • Okay, there are also a lot of liberties taken with the movie, and we're gonna talk about that before we talk about the liberties and why people are upset. 00:01:59.550 --> 00:02:4.190 Box Office Pro is only tracking this thing to make 40 to 60 million opening weekend. 00:02:4.200 --> 00:02:10.750 Yeah, that's lower than I am d b had some estimates to that were slightly higher, but I'm warning like I'm more agreeing with this.

  • Yeah, I not hearing a ton of buzz about it on why people are upset, that there's no music and a lot of the deviations from the cartoon, I think turning people off eso people are already they kind of have their backs up.

  • You know, for this movie, I mean, they're just not into It was clearly designed to pander to China, which that's a whole nother issue We're talking about two, but here I have more of the numbers put upon article idea in pirates and princesses.

  • Um, this was the I am DBS numbers.

  • Now.

  • They had the opening weekend at 60 to 70 million, but where here's where it gets interesting.

  • Total domestic.

  • They're estimating between 151 175 million, which is under the 200 million it costs three.

  • Only way it's going to do well is total worldwide.

  • And right now we're having a problem because a lot of the theaters in China closed. 00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:0.770 Yeah, that thing of which we cannot speak on you too. 00:03:1.440 --> 00:03:2.760 Are you even allowed to see that? 00:03:2.760 --> 00:03:3.250 I don't know. 00:03:3.250 --> 00:03:4.870 It's not even the C word. 00:03:4.880 --> 00:03:7.290 The C word you're not allowed to talk about on YouTube. 00:03:7.290 --> 00:03:11.910 But there is an issue in China preventing people from going to see movies.

  • Google it.

  • Yeah, Google it.

  • So you know that they need the world and not just China.

  • I mean, Japan shutting a lot of stuff down.

  • A lot of countries are shutting things down to try anything that would have a lot of people that would be out about being with other people.

  • They're trying to shut down.

  • So the worldwide box office is gonna be hit hard in the long run.

  • And now that doesn't mean it can't bounce back later if they get this under control.

  • But as of now, I don't think it's gonna hit that high.

  • Uh, yeah.

  • And Dizzy is delaying releasing it in China.

  • They don't know when they're gonna open it, But the thing is, this movie was basically designed to be a hit at the Chinese box office.

  • They picked a well liked Chinese star.

  • They cut out anything that could potentially maybe possibly be offensive the Chinese people. 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:8.470 They had Chinese people consulting on the movie to make it as palatable, but that they did lives like marijuana to they brought in people to make sure that they kept it, you know, culturally sensitive. 00:04:8.470 --> 00:04:12.750 And they kept it within what they would you know, accept and expect.

  • And they did this with China because China is the second biggest box office outside the United States.

  • And we all know the uniter that United States and didn't especially are doubling down on kissing China.

  • But yeah, watch South Park watch watch South Park, you'll get you get the picture of what's going on.

  • But this is gonna blow up in their faces, I think, because I mean, obviously nobody could predicted the issue.

  • We cannot speak of happening in China, but it's also stateside gonna face an uphill battle because there are a lot of liberties being taken in this movie compared to the animated version of the animated, but not compared to the actual story, right? 00:04:51.610 --> 00:05:5.750 So, yeah, So what's going on is, um basically, the producer, uh, turned around and said that the reason it incredibly Xiang and it could be as mad that Li Xiang isn't in, it is because of the me to movement. 00:05:6.240 --> 00:05:16.160 And that probably is true because when this movie would have been scripted and would have been early production, that was like three years ago or so when that was a big thing with the hash tag.

  • Me, too, with everywhere.

  • So I'm sure he's right And they said that have a commanding officer that is also the sexual love.

  • Interest was very uncomfortable and we didn't think it was appropriate.

  • So people are mad because they're like, Okay, you're pandering with me too.

  • But here's the other side of it.

  • A bunch of people are also mad on the other side, which we go collider for that because they felt that Xiang was bisexual because he liked Milan when he thought she was a dude, which I didn't really get that never got it.

  • And I thought that was like a friendship thing, and it was weird that suddenly he liked her when she was a woman.

  • Um, it was a little weird, but he didn't like it right away. 00:05:56.930 --> 00:06:2.480 He left her for dead in the middle of the mountain by herself in the freezing cold it wasn't like there. 00:06:2.480 --> 00:06:4.870 Even it wasn't like Ping's got tits hot. 00:06:4.870 --> 00:06:7.290 Damn, Yeah, it wasn't. 00:06:8.330 --> 00:06:18.050 It wasn't, But, uh, so they're upset because they feel that this is a pulling representation away from the LGBT community.

  • A cz well, as the fact that there was a kiss scene in the movie between Ah, you Milan and the new character.

  • I can't remember his name right now because I'm so tired.

  • Um, not Chang?

  • No, not exactly Split.

  • They actually split Xiang's character up into two characters.

  • They split him into commander tongue right here.

  • And then it's like Chen hungry.

  • I'm probably saying them wrong on apologized.

  • I am.

  • I'm not trying to, um and apparently she has a kiss with the hungry guy, but we don't know if it was as a woman or as, uh, a supposed man.

  • She's a woman the way you know what I mean. 00:06:57.580 --> 00:07:4.630 But it's her equal to make a point of saying that this guy, he's put the character her equal and not a commanding officer, right? 00:07:4.630 --> 00:07:9.820 Because he said that that wouldn't happen anyway, that she would have had a relationship with a commanding officer that was dumb. 00:07:9.950 --> 00:07:13.050 And they made this person her equal, which would make more sense.

  • But they ran it past the Chinese audiences, and they re in a past the Chinese officials.

  • And they said the kiss needed to go.

  • So they pulled this.

  • And, um, I'm wondering if it wasn't a scene where he kisses her thinking, you know, wouldn't she's in disguise as a man, I don't know.

  • But because of that, a lot of you are upset because I feel the representation is being pulled.

  • So it's hilarious because you watched the arguments.

  • Everybody is yelling.

  • Everybody who's like thinks of me to think is stupid, is yelling about.

  • You know how far left it is and how wrong that is.

  • And then everybody who's mad about representation and the kiss Mila is yelling about how far right it is.

  • And now, actuality.

  • Everybody's pissed. 00:07:57.350 --> 00:08:0.890 You're all pretty, and you know everybody's mad about it, so it doesn't. 00:08:0.890 --> 00:08:5.150 Everybody has a problem, and neither side is actually correct or caused it. 00:08:5.410 --> 00:08:6.950 So there's there's no Mu shu. 00:08:7.070 --> 00:08:8.710 There's no music. 00:08:8.720 --> 00:08:19.890 Why, the characters so says means Disney's making this movie, but it does not seem to have a whole lot to do with the animated version of Move On, it seems like they're trying to be more people could argue.

  • We thought it was going back to The Ballad of Milan.

  • Or maybe it was going more, you know, trying to focus more on the warrior element.

  • Unless on a romance, enough there was one of the originals in the original tale.

  • Um, and it's not to be the same because there seems like they're going back to the source material.

  • And the one thing that was nice was it wasn't going to be the same, because every other damn live action movie that comes out is pretty much the same for happened his socks.

  • Yeah, we're there radically different name land with, you know, like Dumbo was really weird.

  • Yeah, I didn't like malicious int.

  • I am like that. 00:08:52.060 --> 00:09:0.960 They took the most evil character in Disney Princess Cannon and made her sympathetic, but they never had her as her own movie in an enemy. 00:09:0.960 --> 00:09:6.190 She was like a character in incident beauty, but she never had her own movie that they redid. 00:09:6.340 --> 00:09:8.780 It wasn't like she had her own animated Yeah, but that was basically there. 00:09:8.930 --> 00:09:12.280 Live action version of Sleeping Beauty was Let's focus on malicious intent.

  • Most popular character really wasn't safe.

  • But okay, Yeah, but I'm saying, like we did with Alice in Wonderland, too.

  • Was very It was very different, which is kind of refreshing.

  • That is very different.

  • Why would you want to the same movie twice but thinking, But people I know is literally beat for beat and you know people people ripped in a new one for that.

  • So it's like you can't win on this because if you make it exactly the same, two more pissed if you make it radically different.

  • Apparently people are pissed.

  • So the other day, like all the other things, it's gonna just piss everybody off and no one's gonna go.

  • So here's a thought.

  • Just a funny funny thought.

  • Why don't they just make new make new things instead of remaking every animated move like the fact that they're they're doing move on again?

  • I mean, they pretty much run out of all the big eighties nineties movies.

  • At this point, I think. 00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:0.180 Well, so, like, what are Hercules? 00:10:0.180 --> 00:10:0.770 Tarzan? 00:10:0.770 --> 00:10:6.440 I mean, what else they're talking about that Lance was a bomb. 00:10:6.450 --> 00:10:12.150 Does your planet they're talking about that was another bomb, like the fact that they're actually looking at remaking box office bombs.

  • See, to me, it's more sense to do like ones that were actually really good.

  • But they somehow didn't do all the time.

  • Animation like Atlantis and Treasure Planet and Hercules don't think did as well as as they should have.

  • Tarzana didn't do as well because that three in time, these were performing.

  • But they're actually good movies, you know, And I could see them taking nose making a live action version of because they weren't that popular to begin with.

  • Maybe you could increase his popularity, but they have taken the popular ones home on the range way.

  • Need home on the range, the live action movie we don't that is when we hit a cow like Oh my God, you'll be like cats.

  • They'll be cows with human faces.

  • And don't actually get Roseanne Barr back because God knows she's not doing anything right now to get Roseanne Barr in the put her face on the cow, you know, um, no, I don't think that's a good idea, but people go to see that justice he have at it was that would be horrendous and probably strangely good.

  • I think I would.

  • I would give you a better than the rich.

  • Go see it.

  • I would find a way to see it without having to pay.

  • We have seen it original Ah, few times because when Pinky Because little she really liked it and we watched it several times.

  • Now, I'll tell you one movie from that kind of like like dizzy cycles there animation cycles.

  • And he had kind of a dark period, Brother Bear.

  • And my brother Bear is actually pretty good is good, but it was dark.

  • It was prepared by men like movies that well, that was one that didn't do very well at the box office either.

  • But what about the ones that can't get lost in the, you know, after Pocahontas came out like they had a run of, like, hit after hit after hit And then after Pocahontas, it seemed like, you know, really it was very hit or miss.

  • And then we finally limped along the home on the range.

  • But meet the Robinsons.

  • So good.

  • Meet the Robinsons got lost in the shuffle and meet the Robinsons. 00:11:59.430 --> 00:12:5.310 I think it was Dallas would not do well as a live action now, but the Times tell Selig joke just won't work. 00:12:5.320 --> 00:12:7.150 Well, you don't do the Tom Selleck joke. 00:12:7.250 --> 00:12:8.940 That importance problematic. 00:12:8.950 --> 00:12:10.050 You don't to Tom Selleck.

  • You do something else?

  • I don't know.

  • Anyway, meet the Robinsons.

  • Got lost in that.

  • That whole thing where we had, like, a one hand, we had home on the range, which was pretty terrible.

  • But then we had, you know, meet the Robinsons and Lee Loan sketch.

  • Now, Leland Stitch was, like, the only hit from the air, and they milked and milked in milk stitch a ll the blue milk.

  • They could get out of him and then kind of ruined that because the movie itself was awesome.

  • It didn't need Sequels.

  • Didn't need a TV show.

  • They've got all of them.

  • And now we're getting a live action leleu.

  • Instead, they're saying that that would not work.

  • Stop it.

  • Don't even go there with Lilo and stitch statues.

  • Creepy.

  • That's nightmare.

  • Fuel is what that ISS.

  • So let me get this straight.

  • So Okay, so we've got a movie designed for Chinese audiences.

  • That's not gonna be running China for who knows how long that soccer playing China for God knows how long.

  • And we've got fans of the animated movie or now upset. 00:12:59.430 --> 00:13:3.080 Ah, because we're missing a lot of characters were missing the music. 00:13:3.190 --> 00:13:7.240 We've got people who are looking for LGBT Q representation. 00:13:7.240 --> 00:13:8.290 They're not gonna find it. 00:13:8.660 --> 00:13:13.880 And, oh, by the way, by the way, I don't know if we can talk about this or not.

  • But there was another controversy around the actress playing move on said some things again.

  • I don't know if we can talk about it, but just say that her political opinions are not particularly popular with some people.

  • Right, So we've got that kind of working against it, too.

  • Um, I don't know.

  • I don't know how this is gonna D'oh, I'm not gonna do either.

  • But I think it's funny, cause if the people are just fighting each other on Twitter over this and they're like, Oh, it's all because of the S J.

  • W is always because all because the alright yacht seas and the rally reality situation is they both have reasons they're mad about that actually happened.

  • So you want to piss that somebody?

  • It sounds like you could blame the production crew. 00:13:54.980 --> 00:14:2.510 You can blame the Chinese government, and you can blame Disney because they're the ones who decided. 00:14:2.520 --> 00:14:5.860 Thio, you know, get rid of Shang to split into two characters. 00:14:6.040 --> 00:14:14.180 The ones that decided that you know the idea of having her as a man be, you know, attractive to other man.

  • They got rid of that even though, honestly, from the movie, I never got that.

  • It was, like, more like a mentor.

  • Which is what Donny Yanks playing in this, or yet is playing in.

  • This is a mentor.

  • I was He still felt like a mentor character, not a boyfriend.

  • Yeah, well, they pulled out all the stops.

  • All starts with because I guess I guess the actress is incredibly popular in China.

  • And we know Donnie Yen is crazy popular.

  • I would watch his I would watch a road one show with him.

  • Well, they I want to go.

  • They had I would tell you feel about that.

  • But they have.

  • They have gently in here.

  • They have a run.

  • So they have gently in here.

  • They have Jason Scott Lee in here. 00:14:51.510 --> 00:15:0.660 They had Donnie Yen, so they're bringing a lot of under the actress playing the which character, but she these are big names that they have coming into this. 00:15:0.670 --> 00:15:3.330 So, you know, Yeah. 00:15:3.330 --> 00:15:5.710 I mean, they designed this movie for China. 00:15:5.720 --> 00:15:8.840 And, of course, this is the year that China has that thing. 00:15:8.840 --> 00:15:13.650 We can't talk about happen, which is gonna definitely throw a wrench into it.

  • So yeah, there's, I mean, they're they're throwing everything.

  • The guy at $200 million they're talking here in the U.

  • S.

  • I mean, the only way this movie is going to recoup its money is a bit performs in China and we don't know worldwide it could.

  • But worldwide, everything is like, you know, any place that it would perform while are being kind of shut down.

  • So, I mean, this is a bad It's a It's a domino effect of bad things.

  • And, you know, it's gonna be hard pressed to come even at this point, A series of unfortunate events.

  • Yeah.

  • I mean, I'm still probably go see it because I actually like, uh, Chinese and K drama period pieces and stuff.

  • So, to me, I actually kind of find it interesting, which is the first time I've been really interested in a live action version for a while. 00:15:58.180 --> 00:16:1.430 Most time I really could care less, so I kind of want to see it. 00:16:1.470 --> 00:16:3.130 But I don't really care. 00:16:3.160 --> 00:16:7.550 I'm not so upset about Moo Shu and Xiang and all that other people are. 00:16:8.650 --> 00:16:9.830 They also want to kind of train wreck. 00:16:9.830 --> 00:16:11.290 It is, I don't know.

  • It doesn't mean it's just seems awfully a trade.

  • I mean, I get what they're doing.

  • I just think that they've changed it so much that I think that American audiences, anyway, we're gonna look at me like this barely barely resembles the move on.

  • I grew up watching what I think is refreshing, but here's the thing.

  • You're gonna have to understand Hollywood, um, you're mostly gonna have to pick a side you're after their pick China or picked the United States.

  • But it's really, really, really hard to peel to both.

  • Yeah, I mean, it's just kind of like I think the way to look at it is they're gonna have to They're gonna have to make movies, you know, that can survive without the form box office.

  • I don't know if that's possible.

  • I think we basically got the point where we've relied so heavily on the global box office that it's almost like making movies by committee. 00:16:58.990 --> 00:17:4.510 Because then the movies have to be designed to appeal to Certain countries have appealed. 00:17:4.510 --> 00:17:6.670 All know you can't feel that everybody at once. 00:17:6.670 --> 00:17:10.830 I mean, what offends people in one country might not offend someone in another country.

  • And I get the global box office.

  • But as we're seeing with Joker and we're seeing you signed the hedgehog, um, you know, Americans will support movies and then they looked like how, how colossal, how colossally they screwed up with Star Wars where they can't.

  • They can't make Star Wars popular in China like there's nothing because they don't care, can't make them do it.

  • Nina!

  • Nina.

  • It's not gonna work.

  • But then, in this case, they designed this movie specifically to play in China, and it doesn't look like it's gonna work out very well.

  • It looks like people in the States are gonna be pissed and, you know, I don't know.

  • It still might wind up being one of their $1,000,000,000 tent poles, but I just I'm not I'm not feeling basically everybody's mad at each other thinking it's their fault.

  • But the reality situation is, it was they were too busy trying to please everyone.

  • They please nobody.

  • And it's pretty much a movie for no one. 00:17:57.860 --> 00:18:5.450 So if race fighting each other over nothing because it's not either besides fault, it's like they tried to do for both sides, and it just messed up for everyone. 00:18:5.730 --> 00:18:8.040 Now I'm gonna say one more thing before we wrap this up. 00:18:8.270 --> 00:18:26.980 So, uh, what's gonna happen is the media who is out there stirring the shit up and there must all over this thing, like trying to get everybody worked up into a tizzy because your Hollywood keeps get back in the media and given him all this this, you know, path in the back and access and all they do is try to stop was much drama as possible.

  • So why they're out there trying to, you know, write the troops and make them it mad at each other.

  • What's gonna happen is nobody's gonna go see this movie because they made sure of it, and then they're going to turn around and tell everybody that they didn't do well because it was a strong female character and misogyny and racism stop Milan from doing well, Mark my words.

  • That's what's gonna happen.

  • Oh, I can almost guarantee it'll be like, Oh, it was a live action movie with on Asian female lead.

  • Of course, the yacht sees didn't go see it.

  • Of course they did. 00:18:57.210 --> 00:19:4.170 It's all racist and racism, and at the other day is just, you know, it's the media stirring up crap. 00:19:4.180 --> 00:19:6.170 It's dizzy making dumb decisions. 00:19:6.540 --> 00:19:14.520 Um, it's, you know, everybody wanting basically when the original made into a movie, when they're not going to get that the other day, that's what it is they want.

  • They want the original, and it's not gonna happen.

  • Yeah, and, you know, let's remember the last white action, you know, fairytale movie they had last year Bond moves into.

  • Didn't do very well know.

  • Didn't people were tired of people are they want new things that don't suck because onwards out looking too hot.

  • The O s.

  • Oh, um, that's a new thing.

  • So I don't know what to tell you any more.

  • I honestly don't even know.

  • I think this is the I'm gonna be honest.

  • I'm calling it now.

  • I think this is the year of the bottom falls out of the Disney bubble.

  • I think on every front, I think the movies are going to be terrible.

  • I think HBO Max is gonna come in and steal Disney pluses, thunder in the streaming.

  • And I think the theme park attendance is going to go down. 00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:0.350 Obviously, people were worried about traveling now, but I think the prices are actually gonna keep people way, too. 00:20:0.490 --> 00:20:2.830 The constant construction and dipping quality. 00:20:2.840 --> 00:20:4.290 We had another accident today. 00:20:4.300 --> 00:20:5.810 Yeah, there's 22 days in a row. 00:20:5.810 --> 00:20:13.000 They've had accidents at the park because they're not, you know, maintaining the stuff like they should, um and then they're charging more for that s o.

  • I think this is the year I'm telling you, this is the year that the bottom is gonna fly that Disney bubble and we'll see what happens.

  • And, you know, we might be looking at more home on the range after this.

  • Yeah, Okay.

  • Help.

  • So all right, we're gonna wrap it up.
