Pretty much
I see more haters than shills here
I heard Zurg is actually Buzz instead of being his father. Why did they make that decision? The whole joke was that Buzz's family. was a parody of Luke Skywalker
>The reason for the change?
I don't have any insider knowledge but I think they changed it because this movie is just about Buzz himself learning to cope with his failings and move on. When Buzz jumps forward into the future (something done accidentally when trying to manufacture another fuel cell for his expeditions damaged ship, a ship that was damaged only because Buzz decided to investigate the planet the movie takes place on), he meets up with his Partners granddaughter and the other characters and begins to grow a connection with them, and thus a connection to the world and the life he missed out on. Zurg was a Buzz that was thrown centuries ahead, and spent his life nearly totally alone, consumed by his guilt and the obsession with getting to go back and fix his mistake, even if it means erasing two generations of people out of existence by preventing the circumstances of their birth from ever happening. Zurg is a Buzz who lost sight of himself and his code, and Buzz challenges his own weaknesses by fighting Zurg. If Zurg had been just an evil space guy, that would have been fun for it's own reasons, but we wouldn't get a Best-of-Startrek level sci-fi idea out of it if they had
Wow what a fricking shill. YWNBAW troon lover.
see the thing is- NO ONE WANTED THOUGHT PROVOKING THING IN THEIR MOVIE THAT'S SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT A SPACE RANGER PROTECTING THE GALAXY FROM THE EVIL EMPEROR ZURG.
if anything they wanted a space road trip of him going back to the colony after going off course, making alien allies he has to resort in teaming up with all while it's a literal space race to get back home before zurg invades his colony and fend his forces off.
From the first trailers, it was obvious this movie wasn't going to be a high adventure movie. You can be disappointed or dissatisfied, but I have no interest in discussing what might have been.
>silly anon, i don't want to talk about what could've been, because god forbid i read someone else's version of the story that'll be far superior in every way, and reveals that everyone in pixar have ran out of ideas and creativity and could potentially lose their chance to show their movies on theaters. i wanna circle jerk about their burnt out story that was hastily put together and ensure brownie points because frick money i guess. i don't wanna have a conversation on how this would've gone if they remembered that buzz lightyear was inspired by space adventure stories, i wanna put their moral of the day storyline in a pedestal and say "THIS IS HOW IT SUPPOSE TO BE, FRICK YOU STAR COMMAND ANONS!" I wanna consooom literal table scraps of a product and be excited for next product where thought provoking morals and "the message" stuff, again! IMMA CONSOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!
I'm not reading all that.
If writing fanfiction about your interactions with other people make you feel less sad though, enjoy.
>refuses to read gt of calling you out as being a consoomer
of fricking course.
i read your paragraph of your film class essay on the deeper meanings of the film, i'm just saying this shit does not and should not fit in someone named BUZZ LIGHTYEAR.
he's a silver-aged space hero, always has been.
we needed another star wars/hero's journey esque sci-fi adventure, not a pre-star wars 70s depression sci-fi flick with dumb plot twists.
>If you don't engage with my name calling I'll get really upset
Good, actually.
>thinking I'm being hostile so i can get a kick
from you seething when in reality i'm helping you
don't be disney's shill dog, rise above consooming.
learn that someone else wishes that they could of gone with their headcanon because that's pretty much the majority's headcanon of the character's story is a form of criticism and are tired of being beaten in the head with thought provoking morals and other oscar bait shit when watching their movies.
they just wanted a summer hit, something to escape from, not something that tells them:
>"u suck for doing a thing too long, go live your life even though everything is getting too expensive now to have a good time, and no more making a project that can be far better than OUR stuff, no no no, we do the stories for you, and will keep repeating OUR messages until you comply 100%"
whoops, i typed a novel again, guess you wont be reading this to find out that i'm trying to set you free from disney's grip, even after i had to resort to spacing things out like redditard
Not reading that too gaygut
Making him not Buzz’s father to avoid a lazy Star Wars parody is a good thing. They did it for the cartoon as well.
But I liked the parody, regardless of how lazy it was.
>time travel mindfrickery
Why does every sci-fi story have to rely on time travel now?
Time Travel is a pretty common plot thread these days it seems. Huh.
But why?
To create absolute fail-states where the villain wins, thus "raising the stakes" while allowing the script to sweep away all the bad shit in the end like it never happened. It's zero-consequence peril.
It was a parody itself in the movie and zurg didnt even tell our buzz he tells that to the other buzz with the blue belt and the end they show again playing with the zurg blasters it wasnt mean to being taked seriously but Cinemaphile are tol autist too recognize a joke
It would have been better than what we got.
Care to explain how?
The new one was equally as lazy and unsatisfying. Leaving it as the original would've at least been a nod to the thing it's based off of.
Again, this movie just shouldn't have been made if they were too self-conscious to actually make it Buzz Lightyear; a parody on Silver Age sci-fi and Star Wars. They could have leaned in to the Silver Age aspect more to differentiate from the mass of Star Wars content, but they didn't--it's just bland shit instead.
A nod to what? The future? So that you can complain that they're being meta?
Would have connected it more to the Toy Story films as well as being more fun for kids.
This would make it better how?
OK, Disneyshill, why is Lightyear perfect the way it is?
>zurg didnt even tell our buzz he tells that to the other buzz with the blue belt
Yeah, because both Zurg and blue-belt Buzz believe they are the characters they portray and not just toys. Zurg says he is his father because that's what presumably happens to the character the toy is based on.
Not that I am bothered by changes mind you, but it literally doesn't matter to which Buzz Zurg said his line to.
it was meh
3/10
This first 30 minutes were the worst part. It would have benefited from more exposition instead of rushing it in one rushed mess.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I thought the first act was going to be the best, as the rest seems like completely generic wacky sci-fi adventure based on the trailer
What bugs me most is that everyone goes "welp were stuck here" when they still have the means to travel interstellar space. And to top it off they don't bother going back to Earth or even at least get back in contact with it. And are you going to tell me that Earth doesn't know they're gone and sent someone after them?
>They still have the means
No they don't, that's literally the point of the movie.
>Why didn't earth send anyone?
We aren't given info on what Star Command is doing or what the original mission really entails. We can't answer those questions.
They do in the middle of the movie anon
Them going to orbit is not the same as reasonable interstellar travel. To cross interstellar distances without aging to death en route, you need FTL. Without the hyperspeed crystal, you can't go faster the light. You could vibe up in orbit all you want tho.
They have a complete crystal in the middle of the film anon. The second half of the movie is all about Buzz getting it to the mother ship to take everyone back to earth
Even with the crystal, the big ship still had everyone in Stasis. Also the mission was "get everyone home", not "frick off in a lil' bombership and run to earth with limited supplies at the first chance you get"
Those flights were test flights because they couldn't pin point how to make a complete crystal. When Buzz finally gets the crystal, Burnstrandt just goes "nah we're good" and Buzz can't believe no one is jumping the chance to leave the planet to go back to Earth
Oh shit, you're totally right, I had forgotten that. But can you really expect 2 while generations of people born on that planet just to uproot their whole lives, leave everything behind, and fly off into a world only their grandparents remember?
The planet was barely colonized and hostile, even it was all I knew I'd want to leave
But you're one man, and there were thousands of people on that planet. It's a good conundrum.
Obviously it was a viable planet if they could live on it for so long. From a hard sci fi standpoint they would have just genophaged everything and colonized it. I can answer questions. The movie was harmless and I have had to deal with muslim refugees raping same sex kids so I don't care about what their views on homosexuality are.
>Second half of post
Fricking ok???
>I have had to deal with muslim refugees raping same sex kids so I don't care about what their views on homosexuality are.
Muslims, like many people, are hypocrites who don't actually believe in their teachings. This is why the "Based Arab" meme is a big lie. Lord knows what the frick goes on in the ME behind closed doors.
No all arabs are muslim. Islam is a religion, not a race
Hold up Anon, you're moving too fast for some of these people.
It just bugs me when I see morons say that. I have a friend who's an marronite and she's told me alot about the dissemination she faced in jordan as a christian
>Lord knows what the frick goes on in the ME behind closed doors.
Pagan polytheism.
They had a mine that damn near seemed to go into the core of the planet. They were exploring but not really doing anything but subsisting
Without hyperspeed (faster-than-light travel) communicating with Earth will take untold thousands of years.
Oh shit, good point.
Really? I thought the intentionally lean worldbuilding was great. What did you think you were missing out on from the fast pace of the intro?
I didn’t care about Alisha or Buzz’s relationship with her because she’s barely in the movie. The scene where Buzz finds Alisha’s last recording isn’t as impactful since there’s no build up to her importance. Cutting down the original cast to give Buzz more time with his mentor would’ve solved the issue.
Lightyear did his mom
stfu pan!
why would the first thing time traveling Buzz would do is to go back and have sex with his mom? he's been obsessed with completing the mission, he's got no time for a quickie
That homie has been pussy deprived for years, and he needs desperate release
You're right; it's the only way to retain the lore.
So? At some point most of us have in our young lives. We don't talk about it to others but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Pixar could have adapted King City
Despite what people think, Izzy is not a "Strong black woman" she's a starry eyed cadet who fricks up most of the movie and it was a little endearing
It's hard to accept the message that Buzz needs to rely on others when everyone else is a complete frick up all the time.
It's very family-friendly
well first of all its bad
and thats it
I’m going to see it on Monday with my mom. I don’t know what she’s going to think of it, based on what I’ve heard — I’m worried she’ll find the time dilation stuff confusing.
They make it blunt and simple. They wrap up the time-dilation-debriefing scene with >"Simply put, the faster you go without reaching hyperspeed, the farther ahead in time you'll end up."
That’s good to know, thanks!
i just wanna see pixar gays seethe when youtube reviewers bring up the star command cartoon and say that it's vastly superior when handling Buzz's world
>dare i say, watch them "REEEEEEE" to infinity and beyond
Go to reddit if you wanna circlejerk a shitty and purely corporate movie.
>contrarianons are actually pretending this committee-made piece of soulless garbage has any sort of "intellectual merit"
movie was bad
I'm convinced this thread was made and is maintained by an actual shill. Who gives this much of a shit about something shat out of an equation made to pick "all the best elements to make a movie from"--which ignores all of the things that could've made this movie enjoyable.
I don't know how to tell you this, but your tastes are not universal. Just because someone likes different things then you do does not make them some insidious, mustache-twirling villain.
No, it just means they have no standards whatsoever--or are being paid to disseminate ingenuous opinions.
The terms you're looking for are "Inauthentic Behavior" and "Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior".
Yeah, that. Thanks, Mister Vocabulary-Man.
Correct.
Look they don't even deny it just deflect.
Because I have absolutely ZERO faith that the people screaming shill could be convinced otherwise. They really, REALLY want anyone who likes this movie to be fake. I liked the movie, I ain't getting paid to think that, but where's the point in arguing against people who have zero interest in thinking otherwise?
I liked Buzz and will post about how I liked it. If that upsets you, cope.
>They really, REALLY want anyone who likes this movie to be fake. I liked the movie, I ain't getting paid to think that
See, I just have a hard time bringing myself to think that there are people with standards as low as this.
So, yeah, you're a shill. Frick off to a moderated Reddit thread if you want a "safe n comfy" discussion about this soulless pile of vomit.
>See, I just have a hard time bringing myself to think that there are people with standards as low as this.
I would assume more that you're a jaded person who thinks that only your own tastes matter or have merit.
>jaded
I'm not the one simping for
>le uber-realistic take on everybody's favorite blatant parody on Star Wars & Silver Age space-heroes--that has no fricking aliens in it
Yeah, I'm jaded for not liking shit that's self-conscious of it's own origins. If they were too pussy to have him actually be Buzz, they shouldn't have made the film in the first place.
Cool story Anon.
Sorry, I just find it deliciously ironic that you call me jaded for not liking a movie made by clearly jaded people.
IT DOES IT FOR FREE
Jesus frick moron, just leave the thread and hide it, some of us actually want to talk about or at least talk about everything wrong with it
>WAH! WAH! HE WONT STOP SAYING NEGATIVE THINGS!
>Why are you criticizing me!
Go away homosexual, it's a two way street
>Go away homosexual
No. Deal with it or keep crying.
get woke go broke, etc.
Nah, it's just not enjoyable. People aren't going to recommend it to their friends/family because most of the audience is smart enough to come out of the theater seeing what a phoned-in movie it was.
The movie seriously isn't woke outside of the gay couple and they're barely in the movie
For real?
Yeah. You only see them together during the time-skipping montage Buzz goes through at the start. Whole sequence takes less then 5 minutes IIRC.
Yes really. Izzy spends the majority of the movie fricking up and isn't as competent as the trailers imply
>movie seriously isn't woke outside of the gay couple
the hideous diverse cast is woke enough
that old brown b***h with the bombs is dyke coded
What's there to talk about? It's a very bland movie that's blatantly trying to milk people's Toy Story nostalgia after not knowing where to take the story after TS4. First half had some promise, but the moment Keke Palmer and her dumbass friends show up, instant snooze fest
It is impossible.
>This thread is for people who want to talk about Lightyear, and not the "controversies" around it or it's box office numbers.
Literally impossible.
Most movies these days aren't enjoyed or made to be enjoyed. It's all culture war bullshit. Damn near every mainstream product has had the same song and dance since Ghostbusters and it's getting old.
>Woke shit
>People complain about it
>But even without the woke shit, the film looks so bland that nobody would like it anyways
>People who made said shit then use audience reaction as a shield for buzzfeed points
>Film flops
>If, in rare cases, it doesn't flop ala many marvel movies, people will just pretend it did
I'm fricking tired of this shit, when will movies just become MOVIES again, instead of arguments? It feels like filmmakers and audiences are at constant odds.
The last movie I felt was free of this culture war shit was cats and the Sonic movies.
This movie can be a movie if you disregard all the disingenuous culture war bullshit like I did.
There is no going back.
The toy story ship is in the final scene. Stop posting itt if you didnt watch the movie.
I liked it. My son liked it. My wife liked it. It was good.
>Stop posting itt if you didnt watch the movie.
No you homo
>The toy story ship is in the final scene
...That has no bearing on ANY of the criticism made. This is the first time I've even heard it mentioned. People complain that it's all in a different style.
Movie looks more like a Call of Duty game circa 2006 - 2013 -- but, IN SPACE.
I think Lightyear sucks!
Fricking Disneyshills man.
The movie was very meh but I gotta say, Buzz's design is fricking hot. Rail me daddy.
Woody please leave
Dude Woody just needs to come to terms with the fact that Buzz is a MUCH cooler toy.
You can hate child predators from all ethnicities. Whether they be catholic, israeli, or muslim. I don't care if they don't want to watch our movies because I Dont want them in my country.
> or it's box office numbers.
Why? What happened to its box office numbers?
They're low as shit for a Pixar release, reportedly.
any camrips and webms?
I sadly can't help you Anon.
no camrips yet
they're normally out by now but I guess no one even wants to pirate this movie
I am fricking bewildered and impressed by how Sox wasn't an annoying little shit.
Sox was probably the best part of the film, which isn't saying much
I just want to know if this movie is good, bad, mediocre and was any of these things in ways that defied expectations or met all of them completely. That Cinemaphile can't even get a chuckle out of a shitshow it ranted about for months upon months by refusing to even countenance the very existence of a movie they played no part in the release of is just a symptom of why this place is close to worthless now.
Its good. If you are 5.
surprise surprise, nobody wants to pay money to see this... wait for a torrent if you want discussion
I just came back. Watched 4dx.
I went in with low expectations because of all the buzz on the co catalog about low box office numbers.
It was excellent. Pacing was perfect. Started off running and didn't slow down. I never felt the film was slow or boring, even the dramatic moments. Realistic backgrounds were fantastic. The message was good. There were moving moments. Humour was occasional, but never felt out of place. The film was action-packed and exciting.
One of the children in the audience yelled out, "That was so awesome!" as soon as the credits started.
I can't think of a better candidate for the gold standard of children's action-adventure film.
This post feels like it was written by a bot
Thank fricking God, a person with taste. "Gold Standard" seems excessive, but it's a praiseworthy film.
As mean has there recently been a comparable action movie for kids?
Good question actually. I don't have another thing to offer in argument.
things that never fricking happened
I dare you to go outside once in a while and mingle with homosexual sapiens.
What was Disney thinking?
So does the real Emperor Zurg exist somewhere in the future?
I was lukewarm on the movie after the reveal of who he was in this movie, but a sequel that really hams it up could be the best thing Pixar has ever made.
>Emperor Zurg
I dont rember that guy from toys story
>instead of the cool Darth Vader-esque villain it's just a guy on a shitty mech suit
this movie is the definition of anti-fun
>color palette for the movie is dull, brown and orange
>except the suit which is colorful and toyetic
yeah you could tell they were shoehorning this shit hard
So how long will the shilling for this movie last? I give it about a 2 weeks till they move on to something else Disney's putting out.
>So how long will the shilling for this movie last?
Cinemaphile has been doing more shilling for this movie than anyone else, and that has been true since the trailer's release because you morons have zero self control.
Which of the characters die and how? I'm not paying to watch hyperrealistic creepypasta Buzz Lightyear.
>I'i-m the normal one, everyone who doesnt share my tastes is wrong
My step dad and his 8-year old kid just got back from this and they said it sucked.
i liked it.
