The only controversy it had was that fake-ass video they made of the theatre losing its shit to Clod, because the movie was so mediocre the idea that people would be that excited was clearly fake.
It was stupid and the designs were also uninteresting. Imagine having the creative set-up of sentient elements and just making them humans living in a very human looking city with mostly human-like culture.
It made people feel incredibly awkward since it was almost the exact opposite of all media of the last 30-40 or so years.
Cartoon media has been very hard at work portraying almost no differences at all between groups of people, trying to avoid any and all talk of race whatsoever, and definitely avoiding any storytelling situation that has one race not get along with another in some way. Everyone just gets along side by side and no race names or details are even mentioned. People grew up in this in all their entertainment.
and then along comes this movie that makes extreme race divides to the point of having them actually be deadly to each other if they so much as touch. All the groups live divided, they do not get along, the story is portraying how they don't really like each other and then it shows some races having genuine things they physically cannot accomplish or jobs they cannot do because of their race. (That's just anti all kids media since the 60s at best) And no one would ever attach race traits to very differently designed groups in a cartoon like this. This makes people feel weird since this is now totally different from everything before.
There wasn't any controversy over it. It just looked really boring and bland. People compared to those medicine commercials where cute stuff plays while they list off the dangerous and deadly side effects of the drug.
The movie itself isn't particularly bad. Ignoring the heavy-handed race metaphors and "racism", it's a serviceable rom-com movie. I'd say it's probably the better movies from Disney in 2023.
Controversy? It was a cookie cutter Pixar movie that did nothing that has not already happened before. Personified things in a wacky themed city, Just like Inside Out, Cars, Zootopia, Bugs Life....
Calling on it, the only reason why this movie had any positive review at all is because of the visuals and/or the cute Fire Girl, everything else was absolutely horrendously predictable, bland, overdone themes that it just tire the shit out of people, living elements? Oh yeah what a novel ass concept, nobody thought of that before.
Not even that, one of the worse aspects in the movie is that we get the typical "racism is bad, different people can get along" when the apparent racism against fire people is justified, considering that they literally burn shit that they touch including other people as demonstrated with an earth elemental in the train.
Touching a Black person irl doesn't burn your skin, so the movie is extremely stupid and self-contradicting.
It's not. It just didn't do well in the U.S. and did remarkably well in South Korea.
It's also a film about immigrants and society, which you know pisses off /misc/. Those are mostly the people whining.
Zootopia but worse and instead of being a buddy-cop with furries, it's romance with elements.
Did that cloud b***h in the posters have like...one memorable scene? Or did anything of worth?
Uncreative concept.
That's it. That's literally the only reason people raged so hard at it.
There's no controversy, the movie is so bland everyone forgot about it
This. I never saw this movie and I don’t plan to watch it at all
The only controversy it had was that fake-ass video they made of the theatre losing its shit to Clod, because the movie was so mediocre the idea that people would be that excited was clearly fake.
the human races are conceptualized to be different elements in this movie, but whenever you bring it up people turn away and refuse to believe it
People turn away because that's a /misc/-tard opinion and people have better things to do with their time that argue with /misc/-tards.
How is it? They literally made the fire people love spicy food and gave the girl slanted eyes. I'm just pointing out details here
OK so like I can buy fire is Asian and Water is white but I don't see how the other align.
nothing, you are just baiting for (you)s. here you go homosexual.
stop making up shit. This movie made $500 million worldwide.
the shills are already here, why are you trying to delude people? this movie was the poorest excuse of garbage i've ever seen
doesn't make it controversial
>the main antagonist of this movie was runny pipes
jesus fricking christ
It was stupid and the designs were also uninteresting. Imagine having the creative set-up of sentient elements and just making them humans living in a very human looking city with mostly human-like culture.
It looks like a commercial for allergy medication
It wasn't controversial, it was bland. It looked like a parody of what Pixar makes into movies.
>What if two random common objects were actually people in a themed city full of common objects?
Zootopia: but make it horrible.

Disney had the audacity of calling this movie an original idea
>Water people=whites
Water is supposed to be black people. All the major water characters have black VAs.
it's about racial identity and relationships while Zootopia was more about systematic racism and bigotry.
Ember parroting that "I'm fire, you're water" crap to Wade and her almost buning out at the beach was extremely uncomfortable.
Not even that, one of the worse aspects in the movie is that we get the typical "racism is bad, different people can get along" when the apparent racism against fire people is justified, considering that they literally burn shit that they touch including other people as demonstrated with an earth elemental in the train.
Touching a Black person irl doesn't burn your skin, so the movie is extremely stupid and self-contradicting.
Ember and Wade can touch and fire people don't burn things on purpose so you're wrong for letting the fantasy get in the way of the message.
It's not. It just didn't do well in the U.S. and did remarkably well in South Korea.
It's also a film about immigrants and society, which you know pisses off /misc/. Those are mostly the people whining.
I just want to say I want to cum inside Wade over and over until he turns white
He might be bisexual anyways, he wore a pink t-shirt and acted like a beta for most of the movie
The movie was just "dude what if elements were racist!?"
Zootopia but worse and instead of being a buddy-cop with furries, it's romance with elements.
