Unironcally have a nice day you disgusting piece of shit. Even if the movie plot was better homosexualry would have ruined it anyway.
To be fair Disney announced their first openly gay character every other month at this point. It was the entire selling point of Andi Mack which is also forgotten.
And I keep telling people yes it was advertised for like a few months before release. Just on television where no one watches anymore except for sport events.
The sports bar I worked at had multiple game types airing on their tvs and Strange Wolrd trailers were so frequent it was getting annoying.
>Just on television
Well then it seems like it was just another film that Disney had no faith in. Just like Treasure Planet, not to compare the two in quality, not at all. Only that they shared the same fate when it came to their financial downturn.
The thing about characters like this is that they're basically impossible to market to hetero young men who would be the target demo for this type of shit. Boys don't want toys or shirts of goofy-looking gay homies.
Add "Disney's first gay shota couple" to the list:

Watched this movie with my family and it was the most boring thing ever. There movies have just been declining in quality in general. I remember seeing an anime VA get upset that this didn't get enough promotion. Just having someone be a minority or etc doesn't automatically make a movie special or good

entertainment does well during shit times because movies are cheap, well used to be cheap, only reason they are shedding DEI hires is precisely the slop they made bombed
US used to export soft-power through Hollywood and rock & roll, between stuff like kpop and anime seems like US is a laughing stock globally.
Guess capeshit still does will when it works...
I fricking loved Buzz in the Toy Story movies and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command when it was on TV. I heard they were making a Buzz Lightyear movie, saw the trailer and just tapped out right then and there.
I didn't care about the homosex, I didn't care about the blackness, I didn't care that Chris Evans can't shut the frick up.
The trailer that was meant to get me excited killed my hype and then the whole BUZZ WAS ZURG reveal compounded with Interstellar drama was just awful.
Literally all the had to do was make a fun 90's throwback space adventure movie crammed full of aliens and goofy retro futurism and it would have done FAR better than the garbage they ended up making
And the cherry on the shit sundae was the title card stating unambiguously that this was the movie Andy saw in the 90's that made him want a Buzz toy. Uh huh. Sure it was, marketing department.
Also the retcon for Zurg makes no sense. Why would Zurg and Buzz in Toy Story 2 think they were father and son if they were based on the toys from the movie?
>And the cherry on the shit sundae was the title card stating unambiguously that this was the movie Andy saw in the 90's that made him want a Buzz toy. Uh huh. Sure it was, marketing department.
I love the statement they made later: >"Why didn't Andy's mom buy him a Sox? Surely any kid who loved the Lightyear movie would want a Sox." >"All the toy stores were sold out. Andy's mom couldn't find one."
... That's it? That's what people lost their shit over? A kiss that lasted not even a quarter of a second? This world is losing its fricking mind and we all need to burn. There's no God, nor is there a heaven or hell, but we are all fricking sinners today.
Nah the usual vocal minority lost their shit over it, Pixar lost our on it because the movie looked boring.
Remember for every person who goes nuts over each and every single internet "controversy", there are a hundred others who just don't care and weren't going to pay money regardless.
I think we can finally say that society at large has gotten sick of these rehash movies that follow the same formula over and over and only do well because it's reusing an old IP.

Only gay bashers make a big deal of this. This guy being gay was never the focus of the movie. The real problem with the movie was that it was a cartoon about three generations clashing, and all three of them were boring.
Plus the gays are not going to tune in for some attempted brownie points quadruple word score. >he's an ugly fat minority and also gay and he kind of looks like someone's aunt >and why would i want to see that
discarded character designs were so much better
Post them
Those have so much charm, why did they go for uncanny and ugly designs in the film? Particulary why the big noses?
>all of these way more pleasing designs
But no, let's just slap some lipstick on a googly-eyed muppet instead.
i was looking for the bottom right one (my favorite). thank you!
The transition from 2D concept art to 3D final product is always a downgrade, isn't it
His father looks inbred as frick.
All are great but
in particular makes me sad about the final result... we coulda had a sunkissed chubster as Disney's First Gay Character™
>could've had the perfect shota design second to bottom right
>went with an abomination in the OP
the death of 2d in the west really has ruined everything
Such a shame, each variation is just brimming with personality. Do you have any designs of the rest of the cast? Just curious.
Not on hand. I got the Ethan ones from the wiki and threw them together.
Well thanks for what you have. Gosh, it really makes me wish that the industry embraced 2D animation for films once again. Such a waste this was.
>could have had a disney gilf for the first time in a long time
Fucjing wasted man
For a second I thought they were going for a Radical Ed look at the bottom left. Would have been cute.
These also look trash. Just because the version they went with is physically painful to look at does not make this version any better.
If this was the version we got, we woulda called it trash anyway.
These are so good, the frick. Oh this is just making me disappointed about the final product lmao
>I am forgotten...
Good.
I like the 7th design tbh
>I like the 7th design
Same.
the fat ones just makes him look like a toddler, so 7th is the only choice
Sorry but he needed a fat bulb nose
Wouldn't even blame it on him being blackish because half the chracters have that fricking awful nose
7th one is the only good one. Rest of them have Steven Universe/Chowder vibes.
isn't that the guy from the grubhub commercial?
Amity was openly gay first. Why would people care about a literal who hopping on the gay bandwagon?
If a lesbian and a gay had sex would it be gay sex?
It would be a double negative
Not canon.
Honestly, I think it's great they had an openly gay teen character. It's a shame he was in a dogshit movie.
>I think it's great they had an openly gay teen character
Unironcally have a nice day you disgusting piece of shit. Even if the movie plot was better homosexualry would have ruined it anyway.
These delicious salt bursts are why we need more characters like this.
>We need LGBT characters regulated to forgotten flop movies
I shiggy
>I am forgotten...
cringe dead meme that was never funny
just like the movie

Good
And this same character essentially yells at the audience to STFU about Disney movies not having villains anymore. Frick him.
I thought that Cyclops from that other Disney movie was their first openly gay character?
Yes, but not the first openly gay teenage one in a featured film.
First openly lesbian character
How many more tens of millions is Disney willing to lose on this shit?
As long as they can censor a version for a release in China, it will never end.
>As long as they can censor a version for a release in China, it will never end.
So, years ago?
This movie didn't get censored for China because it didn't release there, at all.
>tens of millions
It lost over 100 million on this one. Maybe as high as 200 by some estimates.
For sure Lightyear lost 200 million.
It's not as if they bothered to advertise Strange World to begin with. It had gone under the radar completely during its theatrical run.
And I keep telling people yes it was advertised for like a few months before release. Just on television where no one watches anymore except for sport events.
The sports bar I worked at had multiple game types airing on their tvs and Strange Wolrd trailers were so frequent it was getting annoying.

To be fair, economy is shitting itself hard. All the diversity hires are probably getting fired first.
are they? Because if Activision is any indication, it sounds like they're firing the veterans instead while keeping the diversity hires.
It's good to be optimistic, but reality is that they fire those that weren't diversity hires first unfortunately for us.
>economy is shitting itself hard.
entertainment does well during shit times because movies are cheap, well used to be cheap, only reason they are shedding DEI hires is precisely the slop they made bombed
Japan overtook the "cheap disposable entertainment" niche.

>Ask your doctor if Humira is right for you
How can a Pixar movie look this dull, there's no sense of emotion at all
This kiss was not even in the top dozen problems Lightyear had.
This
I fricking loved Buzz in the Toy Story movies and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command when it was on TV. I heard they were making a Buzz Lightyear movie, saw the trailer and just tapped out right then and there.

That was just a Star Wars gag they leaned into, never thought of it as any "canon."

Back to twitter with you.
now show me the chinese version
I hated the grub hub era
The first gay character is like the avatar, there will always be one
Only gay bashers make a big deal of this. This guy being gay was never the focus of the movie. The real problem with the movie was that it was a cartoon about three generations clashing, and all three of them were boring.
The problem is D.All of the Above.
Plus the gays are not going to tune in for some attempted brownie points quadruple word score.
>he's an ugly fat minority and also gay and he kind of looks like someone's aunt
>and why would i want to see that
I watched this movie and I felt like it was originally a girl and someone up top yelled at them to make it gay. The rewrites were just ctrl+f she/her
also openly disgusting looking.
if I wanted to look at some savage I'd go to Redfern and watch the abbos pick through trashcans.
>could have been acute twink
>grubhub character
frick disney
>first-ever openly gay character
You mean like the last half-dozen times they had openly gay characters?
Wasn't the blonde nerd guy from the old Static Shock cartoon confirmed gay by the writers?
>look at us, we have openly gay characters in 2022 while everybody else has been doing it since 2016, aren't we fricking progressive?
>Black personhomosexual
I love how this shit ass board still exists, with a constant feed of goycattle Black folklop to mindlessly discuss.
