I really can't stand Wisecrack anymore. They turn 3 minute ideas into 20 minute monologues. But they don't do it like every other channel by slowing it down and nitpicking on details, they just shove the idea up its own ass 30 times in the effort to relate it to whatever Jung once said about something completely unrelated.
And the conclusion is always some doomsday prediction of the end of our culture. Unless its Rick and Morty, then its genius because Schoppenhauer said something once.
They also ruined my hometown of Orlando.
Yo, I just want to pop in and say (the video sponsor) Filmora is a garbage product by a garbage company. Don't make the same mistake I did.
It's really weird how the tone in this thread seems to be that Disney didn't ruin anything and Wisecrack is just annoying, even though their increasing market control over film and television and comics is demonstrably bad.
Lol Disney ruined culture, so I guess museums, galleries, concert halls, libraries and theaters all around the world are in flames!
I figured by the title that this would be about their use and abuse of copyright law.
This seems like a pretty vapid hot take; theres a reason Disney fine tuned their stories from the source to not be depressing and its because it wouldn't sell. People want media they share with their children to feel safe, not so much sanitized of culture but softened to prevent it from being traumatic to younger kids, this is the Disney formula. And it's not like they have erased history, like I personally am a big X-Men fan, and I'd love to see them present the X-Men as more mature content because in the comics it was often at times, but if they soften it like Fox did then I'll just have to accept it, it's not as if they are going back and censoring the comics, infact they've made the comics way easier to access and read with Marvel Unlimited.
There is so much that could be said about Disney harming culture with their monopolistic tendencies and manipulation of copyright law, but changing the plots and ending of 200+ year old public domain stories whose morals seem to be universally "submit to and obey authority or suffer/cause the suffering your loved ones" or "be a pious Christian or suffer" is not the problem. I'd call it good, actually. Grotesque, authoritarian, and lacking empathy aren't substitutes for profound. Anyone can change all the old morality tales that they want, usually for the better, just break up the goddamn monopoly.
