    Lol the chuds are mad because Chris Evans is voicing Buzz instead of Tim Allen. Damn, almost like the parents of kids are now millenials and know who Chris Evans is.

          It's probably gonna be a while, but it will be funny when media exports from the PRC become more common a la Korea in the present.

        if they really wanted to piss off the chuds they could’ve just made buzz lightyear nonwhite

        I'm just waiting for the counter-counter-contrarian circlejerkers to tie each other up in confusing knots when Starship Troopers gets adapted again with Juan Rico as a Filipino.

      Yeah, I don't think it's for political reasons either. Cuz if Disney was cancelling Allen, wouldn't they have replaced him in Toy Story 4?

      I looked it up and they started voice recording for that in late 2018, well into the Trump years and after Tim started coming under fire.

        The celebrity voice actors are almost always for the parents, and Chris Evans seems like a perfect choice for millenial parents. Idk why conservatives think any of these decisions are made with any considerations outside of a spreadsheet, lol.

          conservatives would have to come under a distressing conclusion that their political outlook is an aesthetic being sold to them, same as liberals being sold theirs. They'd much rather believe they're on some moral crusade rather than large companies simply bending to money

      Honestly? yeah, I would have liked Tim Allen because my childhood associates Buzz with his voice. Tim Allen has the perfect voice for a pixar/Toy Story movie.

      But I’m probably not going to watch this movie anyways so my opinion literally doesn’t matter.

        My point more is they think he's too unwoke, when the truth is that some collection of nerds ran a bunch of focus groups and stared at a spreadsheet for 10 hours before going "Chris Evans seems popular".
