every live action Disney remake is absolute garbage with no exceptions

And yet when I say it it's "secretarianism." Curious.
They perceive anarchism to be this massive shadowy group or something. I miss the old stereotypes where they’re dressed in a top hat and throw a circular cartoon bomb into a street for no reason
The villains in the new Star Wars: The High Republic series are:
a band of anarchistic marauders known as the Nihil*.
*Get it? Because they're nihilists.
"what if it's Cruella Deville but she's smoking hot?" -Exec at Disney making millions of dollars in a year
This implying she’s a satanist. I won’t have Disney besmirching my Dark Lord and Master.
I am once again asking pop culture to read the wikipedia entry on Anarchism.
the symbol is so easily recuperated, that's what happens when you don't establish a powerful nation-state :hammer-sickle:
it's not just baseless infighting to suggest that what anarchists think about the state is maybe not so good for organizing or building institutional power. Consumer society must build up insane ideas against the soviets but anarchists get the "they are children who want no laws!" treatment, and imho this is not unrelated to their thoughts on organization.
I guess I disagree. Anarchists aren't even given the respect of having a politics, and violent militarism of tankies has at least some truth.
Its interesting how monarchism is so glorified in Disney films. Just look at how many of their animated features have princes/princesses as the protagonists. We sort of take it for granted, but when you think about it, its really weird.
Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Aladdin, Frozen, Little Mermaid....the list just goes on. And then Anastasia takes it to the next step, because its a real life monarchy character jumping onto the screen.
Given that, its not much of a jump to villainize anarchism.
Not to defend the stupid mouse company, but Anastasia wasn't by Disney, it was Dreamworks I think.
Interesting. You are partly right, that it wasn't Disney. But it was Fox. And its from the 90s. Strange. And, Christopher Lloyd and Kirsten Dunst were in it.
Tbf it goes way beyond kids movies by Disney, especially if you expand monarchism to include the broader aristocracy. Bridgerton is the biggest show in the US right now and only a few years ago it was Downton.
I'm imagining they're going to make her into like a Peta analogue and contrive that with environmental terrorism
This is my guess
When was the last time a major Hollywood movie cast a conventionally unattractive actress for the lead role (villain or otherwise)? Even when they're meant to be ugly, there is a beautiful actress underneath the makeup. Charlize Theron even won an Oscar for undergoing the ordeal of temporarily becoming ugly for Monster . That's why Misery was such a good movie. They weren't afraid to cast the proper actress for the role. If it was made today, they'd probably cast someone like Amy Adams or Cate Blanchett.
I wouldn’t say Amy Schumer is conventionally unattractive, but she’s conventionally plain I guess. Of course it was a rom com where part of the conceit was that this average girl got confidence through magic or something and now everyone wants to do sex.
It’s going to turn out that the Dalmatian owners are ill-equipped to care for so many dogs and they’re all living in squalor.
ASPCA won’t do anything about it because they don’t have room at the pound for that many puppies.
So Cruella Deville hatches up a plan to rescue the puppies. When she goes the household and offers to take in the dogs, the owners suddenly think they’re valuable and don’t want to part with them. So she comes up with this ridiculous story that she’s going to turn them into a coat and then she steals them and makes a faux fur coat to trick the city and flees to a large ranch in the English countryside where they live happily ever after.
i was gonna believe Anarcho-Disneyism has been spawned, but it does look like a star
