Slightly off about the dwarves in Snow White problem. When that picture was leaked Disney initaly swore they were stand ins. They then pivoted and said they were "magical creatures'. The narrative shifted a third time when Disney swore they were actually 'bandits' that aided the stand in for the prince. It was only then, during the 4th retelling of events that Disney released the CGI dwarves and tried to act like it was always the plan.
So insulting to Dwarf actors. They pulled the dwarves due in part because of that GoT actor, Peter Dinklage, because he did not get a part and then spouted a bunch of woke lies. But now they are using CGI dwarves. That is obscene.
I think it's stupid that how the dwarves will be portrayed is actually an issue, No one boycotted the lord of the rings or the hobbit movies back in the day because they didnt get real Dwarves in them
@@Halfort57 I too prefer the diversity hires. The core problem is that animation lets you get away with stuff that is harder in real life, creating the core problem with making this live action. By using humans, they almost HAD to wade into the political incorrectness of dealing with real life dwarfism as some kind of magical creature effect, and the alternative of just making them seven random humans kind of destroys part of the original story, and triggers the anti-woke crowd. Going with Alvin and the Chipmunks level CGI dwarves is like the worst of all worlds, since its no longer really live action, but its not as good as the original animation. This will be a hugely expensive movie, since the dwarves are main characters in the original, and their relatively large screen time means both that this will be a very costly movie, but also that we will have to endure a ton of CGI characters goofing around on the screen. CGI is best used in small doses, preferably for action scenes. By making CGI the main effect of most of this movie, its certain to both be terrible, and not really mock-able either, since its now just another generic kids movie, and nothing that can really be ridiculed for wokeness, which I actually enjoy, and I was looking forward to mocking the absurdity of these diversity hires trying to actually play the dwarf parts in the original movie.
@@drunclecookie216Mate you're spot on with this one. A mainstream film of a JFK conspiracy, Marilyn Monroe conspiracy, Roswell conspiracy and those are just the bigger conspiracies out there. If you're a writer you should start penning a script, who knows?
Blade going R rated and with a smaller budget is the best decision they could have made. In fact a lot of MCU films could do with halving their budget so as to not make bloated souless messes. I always use the first X-men and Deadpool of great examples of working magic with far less. Both of which had their budgets slashed twice during production.
I totally agree with you on Deadpool, but you lost me at X-men. The movie was enjoyable, but the plot holes, the contrivances, and the directing could have used a lot of work!!! Even the character arcs in X-men was laughable! Blade on the other hand, was done so well the first time, they will be stuck with coming up with something post Whistler if they want to keep audiences happy. It really seems they want to do the Midnight Suns story eventually, so they should stick with a story that will get them there, but definitely keep the budget tight, because you really don't need a lot here! This should be on par with the Budget of "Werefolf by Night" and keeping a lower rating might help it's box office take!
@@tobybigham4196 great takes by you and @gingergeek, and I would add that they should make the story actually primarily about Blade, instead of whatever they were cooking up before all of the hullabaloo stirred up around this movie. Imagine a Blade character story movie about...Blade.
The star of Snow White went to every press junket essentially talking about how much she didn't like the story that she was starring in, how "outdated" it was, flippantly smugging about how her co-star might get totally cut from the film because Snow White's "power" was much more important. Peter Dinklage pretty much pulled the ladder up behind him by complaining about dwarves in movies, keeping seven of his fellow actors from being eligible for work. The entire endeavor was unasked for, unnecessary, nasty and cynical, but sure, it's doomed because "the usual suspects complained." What a boring, unoriginal analysis. Thanks.
Yeah, but it's "whatculture". Most of the good staff have gone, so we're left with a safe milque toast establishment shilling channel. I used to watch them quite regularly when they had some funny and interesting personalities working there. Now I barely bother at all. Especially with wet blankets like what's his name here.
honestly the comments by the girl playing Snow White were blown way out of proportion it doesn't really matter anyways. it wasn't a movie i was going to watch anyways. I wish DIsney would just at least try and make original stuff as opposed to relying on cheap nostalgia that's either going to suck, or the discourse around the movie is going to suck b/c we have too many dipshits living in their mom's basements complaining about wOkEnEsS
She was clearly joking and being sarcastic about the prince’s scenes getting cut. The fact that you’re a moron and can’t see her visibly smiling is annoying
The Beekeeper looks like a classic Jason Statham film. Daft plot, Jason beating people up while vastly outnumbered and lots of stuff getting blown up. Perfect.
The main issue the Snow White remake has had to contend with is comments made by its star that suggested that she and the writers of the remake detested the original. Who would be interested in seeing a remake of a movie they hate? You missed that simple point.
Honestly a lower budget for a movie like blade may not be a bad thing. It could force them to focus on keeping things smaller and more stylized then just a bunch of big cgi. Personally I would love to see a blade movie that is a horror movie first and a action/marvel movie second.
Yeah but Blade isn't the main star, his daughter is. Blade is only there to give his daughter "life advice." Leaks are already out and the guy playing Blade basically quit unless they completely change the movie.
I agree having a smaller budget won’t upset me but them making blade into feminist propaganda is what is gonna get me mad! The original blade was a badass ninja who had weakness from his vampire side… He was his own guy and that was awesome! From the original plan, they wanted Blade to be the “4th” lead (Which is essentially saying he would be an extra in his OWN movie!) and as soon as Mahershala Ali threatened to walk, Marvel gave him the film he wanted but wanted to slice the budget in half as it’s not gonna be alphabet or feminist propaganda
100 million isn't small, it's just the latest big studio minimum. I'd love to see them make a Blade film with half the budget and only practical effects

Personally I think The Little Mermaid and Lion King could have been either handled better or left alone altogether seeing as it was the first actual 'remake' and Snow White's been done so many times with so many versions it's nothing new... Disney needs to get some fresh stuff to be honest 🤷♀️
They don't need new stuff. They need to stop with the woke pandering. It's literally that simple, write stuff people want to see and stop trying to propagandize to the viewer. Sorry but radical leftists don't spend enough money to support Disney just like they don't support the wnba.
The generic WhatCulture host doesn't understand what happened with the new Snow White movie. Or he was afraid of being cancelled. Peter Dinklage has been criticized by every single small person actor in Hollywood. His comments during early production changed the direction of the movie. Disney was originally going to hire 7 real little people for the roles. In response to Peter's comment, Disney chose to hire 6 people of average height and one little person. After that received a negative reaction Disney chose to go completely uncanny valley. Peter is not very popular within that community as a result.
@@macethorns1168Well duh, but there are very few roles for people with that condition, so any chance for these actors to get a job in what they love is a welcome event. Dinklage's downright ignorant comments about the loveable dwarves from the Disney original is more than likely why we don't have live actors in these roles in the first place, but awful, uncanny valley, CGI ones. Which they obviously are replacing the other average sized actors we saw from the leaks and subsequent backlash from that leak. The official photo of them all is an obvious replacement of the other actors that would have been there, and reshoots are happening for the scenes they can't salvage by placing the CGI over them. We will see these CGI dwarves standing on a lot of things 😂
@@ericdugal8818 I'm sure that Disney will give them plenty of job opportunities when they decide to reimagine the original Star Wars movies as musicals and rename C3PO as RU1-2.😊
I'm pretty sure the intent of the dwarves in the original Snow White story were to be more like the Germanic folklore/Norse mythological dwarves, which weren't people with dwarfism, rather they were earth/mountain spirits that were closely associated with gems, precious metals, and all manner of crafting.
That's categorically irrelevant since they're remaking the animated movie, Snow White and the seven dwarfs which depicts the stereotypical fantasy race we all know. If they were instead telling a completely original tale INSPIRED by that same fairytale THEN they would have a leg to stand on when disregarding the dwarf actors.
The original Snow White tale as discovered and modified by the Brothers Grimm, is likely based on one of two real women (Maria Sophia von Erthal of Lohr - 1730s or Margarete Von Waldeck of Bad Wildungen -1550s). There was a local mine in each case most versions of the original tale had children working the mine given their size. The Brothers Grimm often softened the harsh realities engrained in the fairy tales they collected; they made the miners dwarves to make the story more fantastical and palatable.
I'm pretty sure you're talking out of your woke rear end. It was intended purely and simply to overturn the whole idea of white people being anything positive, and what it did do, was ensure a sizeable number of actors with dwarfism would not be employed, very inclusive. It was anti-white and anti-male, racist and misandrist in one fell swoop.
I haven't been disappointed in any Disney production since the last Disney film I saw was Avengers Endgame.I saw the writing on the wall back then and gave up on them a long time ago.
I absolutely love how dwarfism was named after a nordic folklore creature just like gigantism was named after another creature from folklore and now it is offensive to have the folklore creature in things because another thing was also named after it. *shakes head*
True. BTW, since the dwarfs in the original fairy tale pretty much have to be those folklore creatures - that is something that hasn't been used in any Snow White movie yet, mostly they are depicted as some sort of humans in all, I think, so if they wanted a bit more fresh take that is what they should have done. The dwarfs are faerie creatures, their cottage is in another, magical realm, time will perhaps go at a different pace there than it goes for the queen, the glass coffin is magical and the dwarfs know, or maybe even guide, the prince to it and are in the end the ones responsible for her waking up after he finds her. Maybe they are the ones who guide her fate the whole time.
Yeah. That's a different creature in nordic (or at least swedish) mythology though. The gnome and the dwarf are separate things. One being a dvärg while the other is a tomte. With that said, I think I looked it up and the dwarves in Snow White are neither. They are some other sort of mythological creature that I don't remember at the moment.@@whiskeyvictor5703
The Beekeeper still seem like it will be a "Jason Statham" movie. I'm thinking that I will enjoy it as a "Jason Statham" movie. Like a known entity. Even if it's bad, it might have been a long enough time since the last one. So I am guessing that I can enjoy it. If that is what they were going for. It might be doing fine.
I some times think we over think movies. we look for errors, instead of just sitting down and just watching it. if you get to the end then it can not be that bad a movie. if you get to the end and say was that really a 2hr film did not seem like it then even better
Hard disagree about Furiosa. Yeah, the title is a shitshow, but Mad Max: Fury Road was extremely popular, and Furiosa became really popular in her own right.
@@rona6063 Trailer footage is not the whole film. Besides, there was a ton of CGI in Fury Road, yet the main product blended it well enough that it wasn't an issue for most people. And my initial point is that Fury Road built up so much good will that even if the Furiosa trailer looked a little too CGI-y, it could still garner enough audience to avoid being considered "doomed."
Those dwarves were added in after the leak, and backlash, of the "magical creatures", and reshoots are happening to fit them in. It should be obvious at this point that's what's happening 😂
Boiling down the Snow White debacle to the "usual suspects" calling the film "too woke" is so typically simplistic of you. Way to dumb down the issue. I remember now why I stopped subscribing to WhatCulture. Every video you guys put together feels like it was cobbled together with a few Google searches. There's nothing genuine or well-thought-out here. It's so easy and safe and unoriginal.
Whatever writer for this list that threw in the cringe-inducing, eyerolling-baiting "usual suspects" line when it comes to people complaining about Disney being too woke was clearly paid under the table by Disney to put that catty, deliberately pseudo intellectual line in this video 😂 I guess it's just easier for them to be as catty and immature as their current target audience instead of being smart enough to be neutral and just focusing on actually good storytelling 😉
A blade movie from the perspective of a group of vampires just trying to survive while being hunted by the badass Blade would be nice too. A hunter x hunter situation
Soooo... It's offensive to use actual little people to play little people now? I thought it was the other way around, that it was offensive to use normal height people to play dwarves or animating them instead of hiring actors... Who the hell can keep up? I'm NOT one of the dumbasses using "woke" without understanding the term, but I do think the outrage culture has gone too far. From all political camps.
I think Blade has potential to be a big hit if they make it rated R and focus all the attention on blade. Blade can make just as much money as Deadpool if the marketing is done right
@@voodoophil the bases of the character is interesting enough to make a good movie with out Wesley snipes. The fact you can't make a vampire, hero movie work means you have no business making movies.

Okay but in Venom’s defense, the writer for 50 Shades had to adapt a mediocre Twilight fanfic, but at least “Venom” & “Let There Be Carnage” were decent movies.
Sony also hired a writer with terrible track record to write the story for the upcoming Zelda movie. The Lastof us 2 and Spiderman 2 also had terrible writing. I don't think Sony can afford good writers with all their money losses.
Im a bit n the fence about Anya Taylor Joy , dont get me wrong i love everything she was in but all of her roles are very Posh/ high society style. I am still going to give it a shot because of the actress but so far i have not seen her in a role that requires energy, fury, or madness.

You can try to be dismissive and call them the "usual suspects" because you don't have the balls to call out Disney and their endless woke output, but if it was just a few disgruntled fans these films wouldn't be failing. It's not. It's millions of fans sick and tired of it and Disney absolutely refusing to listen.

But the casting of this really seems off, and everyone looks like they still have that new car smell! I really hope this comes out better than it looks, as I loved Theron's performance, and the whole story concept. Even Emmortan Joe looks so wrong in this.

I think the last Mad Max was just "feminist" enough to pass the "modern audience" test. He wouldnt compromise the plot or other characters to the extent that Dizzzznee has with their train crashe movies. I think that George Miller, Denis Villeneuve & Tom Cruise are the last directors who arent yielding 100% to the Hollywood "message".
The issue with Blade IIRC was that they wanted Blade to be the "sidekick" to the real protagonist. That's why Ali threatened to walk away. It was a dumb idea.
How strange. I'd just naturally assumed that after Jack Black's incredible performance in "The Mandalorian," his presence alone would have been enough to guarantee massive success. Maybe they need Lizzo, too. 🤷♂️
My biggest disappointment of the Year is Indie and the dial of Destiney. I would have loved to go see a good Indy film after the ridiculous crystal skull. What we got was the destruction of Indy so they could gender swap the main character. I could have lived with out seeing Harrison Ford being a grouchy old man in his underwear.
The problem with the Dwarves in Snow White is no one seriously believes those actors were "stand ins" and the image released by Disney months later when the scandal already brewed for months convinced no one as they clearly were not up to Disney usual standards and looked thrown together and fake. The so-called stand ins were in costume, looked nothing like the animated versions and there was previous statements by Disney that they were not using Dwarves, mainly because of Peter Dinklage saying it was offensive. Why would they all be different heights with one little person if they were stand ins for CGI? What would be the point of that? Then you had the comments from the lead actress on top basically dumping all over the original. If the dwarves were genuine in the latter photos, they could have easily nipped the whole controversy in the bud by releasing that photo months prior. It did not exist because the seven far left diverse adults WERE the new dwarves. Everyone knows it. And people are also getting tired of Disney and people like them saying offensive things, insulting their audience, changing things for far left political reasons, clearly trying to fan bait their audience and ramming politics into kid movies, then gaslighting the same audience when anyone complains, like it is their problem they don't like it and snidely label people who do as "the usual suspects that complain." You mean like everyone? It isn't our problem, it is theirs for doing it. Box office for all the bomb Disney's movies have proven WE are the majority, not you. Videos also acting like the dwarves were always animated and CGI, like Disney is telling the truth, and everyone who said otherwise was nuts is also the definition of gaslighting.

The first two Blade movies only cost around $50 mio. each (the 3rd was a bit more expensive) and they were great, so even when you adjust for inflation, $100mio. for the reboot seems perfectly fine.
AVI ARAD ruined BORDERLANDS The same way he ruined TASM2 and UNCHARTED Things went so bad that Craig Mazin (from CHERNOBYL and THE LAST OF US) asked for his name to be removed from the credits and replaced by the name of Joe Crombie

I didn't think tasm2 was that bad. Sure it wasn't as good as what came before, but the action was fun and the ending hit me where it should. I still think it's a shame we didn't get 3.
Rachael Zegler didn't just bash the source material, she also managed to make herself look like an unlikable spoilt child in the process. The studios would want to include PR lessons to their younger stars.
But this is where I will give her credit. Despite what I know about Zegler, she played very likable and endearing characters extremely well in West Side Story and the Hunger Games prequel
One variable almost never mentioned in box office performance is that fewer people have the disposable income to view a film multiple times in a theater...especially when high definition televisions provide a much better experience than in the past. Another one is that the behavior of modern audiences tend to make that experience less enjoyable rather than enhance it.
The biggest factor though, is streaming. People will miss the cinema and wait a month or two for it to hit their streaming service and watch it at home, rather than go to a cinema, buy overpriced tickets and food, possibly have others talk during it, get all the ads before the movie, worrying about parking etc. People would rather watch it at home, on their streaming service, which costs less a month than a movie ticket. People did this during the pandemic when cinemas were closed and it really took off. I think the game has changed, and the ratings system needs to change with it. It should be based on audiences on all platforms, not just cinema box office.
So it the economy doing great or is it in the toilet? You guys don't get to have it both ways. Fact of the matter is that people are getting sick and tired of the same recycled shit and the politics being relentlessly shoehorned into almost everything that's coming out.
"You guys..."?! Who are you writing about? But, in fact, I can have it both ways. Most, if not all, of the traditional economic indicators used to determine the strength of the economy are doing exceptionally well. But never in modern history have these indicators been more divorced from the everyday life and financial health of the common worker in America. The old saw that a rising tide lifts all ships is obsolete. More than any time since chattel slavery only those with yachts are lifted and the rest may stay afloat, get scuttled, or drown. The good economy does NOT trickle down!@@macethorns1168
@@macethorns1168 The economy isn't doing great. It hasn't since COVID. I never said that the economy was doing well. Streaming services don't cost that much, and a lot less than movie tickets. So people go for the cheaper option, and sitting at home, watching a movie on a streaming service costs less than parking, cinema tickets and cinema food and drinks. I bet if streaming didn't exist, movies would be doing better in the cinema. It is the number one reason for movies struggling. Movies not taking risks with original ideas is another.
weird, I thought blade was going to be the tale of the granddaughter of the actual blade, a 50% black, 25% native American and 25% latino descendant non-binary empowered transgender demigoddess, from the Bronx.
As a rule, I don't follow movies in production, but it's still a surprise to find they hadn't even started on the new Blade movie. I assumed it was coming out soon, if anything. It certainly doesn't bode well, which is unfortunate as they set it up to be the next big thing in The Eternals (which was a flop, granted). I have next to 0 expectations for Borderlands. I was already dubious from the start (being as it's a video game movie, those are notorious for being mediocre at best), but once they announced Kevin Hart as Roland my expectations went from being in shallow waters, to plunging down an undersea cliff. Roland is an average height stoic type. Kevin Hart's whole schtick is that he's a short funny guy that often shows insecurities centred around his height. I just can't see him doing the 'serious ex-soldier' routine, and if they lean into his height and jokes like they tend to do in movies he's in, the character won't be Roland anymore. I was disappointed that they didn't stick with Claptrap's actual VA too (though I"m generally OK with Jack Black, it's just another 'insert recognizable celebrity at the expense of the actual character' tactic). Offhand, the only actor who actually might work for the character was Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis. I could actually see her pulling off an older Tannis, at least. That's another thing though; the actor and character ages are all over the place. Basically, it has been mismanaged from the word go and I won't be surprised if even the costumes end up underwhelming (the silhouettes have never inspired much confidence), to the point that 'I've seen better homemade cosplay' is a claim that can be backed up with evidence. I"ll be happy to be proven wrong, but at this point it's looking like you're better betting on NFTs making a comeback.
I'm still looking forward to Kraven In Name Only just because "Gimme a shirtless Aaron Taylor Johnson rocking an adult film mustache.". Yeah it's a silly reason but don't take that from me.
Its just another gender swapped franchise, instead of Max we get furiosa. They even have the nerves to put mad max in the title tho he has nothing to do with this story.
My biggest recent Disney disappointment--Thor Love and Thunder. Such wasted potential after the awesome Thor Ragnorak. I don't think I've seen a Disney Movie since. I liked Mandalorian S3 though so . . .
A lot of these suffer from the same problem which is executives or people in power making strange decisions finally catching up to already outdated and old fashioned ideas. Snow White is a decent example of something that would have done well in 2012-2016 when people wanted more token representation in any form just to have something and when criticism could be (nay, should be) ignored because it was hugely exaggerated and over the top. Now, people have some self respect and standards, they don't need to be preached to by multi billion dollar corporations on how to be nice or to 'represent' them as if they cannot relate to someone of a different race or gender who displays human characteristics. Now people are insulted when they are pandered to sacrificing good writing and characters for empty, shallow point scoring characters who serve one purpose to look good while not actually being good.
There is no way the Mad Max/Furiosa movie will bomb. That's just insane. Watch the making of Fury Road sometime, when even the actors thought it was shit. The director knows how to cut a movie. If George Miller made a 90 minute movie of Joe Biden taking a dump, it would be the most action-packed movie of the year. Scream 7 will do well, only because there is no competition in horror. The Saw, Nunn and Paranoia Activities movies proves that point. It wont get awards, but it will double its costs. The rest of the list is likely doomed. Kraven may find an audience as an ultraviolent movie, borderline super hero movie. Just look at Venom; horrible movie, but made money with the super hero violence. Kraven will no doubt lean heavy into the Boyz and Invincible audience, but then again, Morbius did awful. Though that was more to do with campy writing, than bad directing. As long as Kraven stays away from the cheesy humor, it will do well. Not great, but it will make a bit more than it cost to make it. What is sad is, that the success of this movie will determine if we get a Spider-man sequel for Kraven's Last Hunt. They have been trying get Last Hunt off the ground for decades. I would hate to see that fail. If you are not familiar with Kraven's Last Hunt, its the End Game equivalent for Spider-man as the hero is utterly defeated and will no doubt be a massive money maker if it wasn't for the required pre-staging it requires to introduce Kraven and give Spider-man stability before Kraven destroys him. The Lion King Pre-qual will do well because of its target audience of black families, and also appeals to white families, and that it isn't shoehorning black actors into traditionally white parts. The movie itself is likely boring and unoriginal, but parents will take their kids to it to occupy them for 3 hours and not be bored themselves. Just look at the Little Mermaid live remake. I could care less about the controversy behind it, I just couldn't stand the boring story, and crappy CGI, yet the Little Mermaid made money. Not Disney money, but the type of money that Paramount would be happy with. The Snow White live action remake is a big question mark. There is a lot controversy behind it, and that CGI photo didn't make me feel better about it. They look like the 1990s Garbage Pail Kids. If that's what the dwarves look like after CGI, they should have kept the stand-ins. Either they make animation corrections, via the Sonic Movie, or they use camera tricks via Lord of the Rings, but if they keep what they got, it's going to give kids nightmares. Regardless, it will break even for the same reason the Lion King prequel will. Madam Web has a chance if it goes supernatural thriller and stays away from the Super Hero genre. Unfortunately, i doubt that will happen. Blade only works for the same reason Kraven may work. I have less hope than I do for Kraven. When the original Blade came out, there was no good Superhero movies outside Batman, and it didn't feel like a superhero movie. It's inherently bad writing and has very little going for it that audiences haven't seen before in other vampire movies. I doubt it will do anything we haven't already seen the first Blade movies or the Underworld franchise. Not only that, but Blade has no good source material. The new Blade movie is being made solely for nostalgia of the original film. This doesn't mean a great writer, and decent director can't turn it around, but judging by Marvel's recent entries with mediocre characters, I don't have my hopes up. It just doesn't have enough originality. This would have been better served as a TV series, where they can build the character, rather than throw him at the screen like confetti at a Rip Taylor show. The Beekeeper will make money only because it was cheaply made and it stars Jason Stratham. Don't get me wrong, its going to suck, but it has no competition, and its a dude movie, just like every Jason Stratham movie. One day Stratham's deal with Satan will expire and he will stop making money off these shitty films. Distant, it's too early to tell. Its sounds bad, but think how bad the pitch meeting for Interstellar or Contact went? Sometimes it works on film. Regardless, whether they make money or not depends more on when they are released, than if they are good or not. There has been plenty of great movies buried by big budget films, and complete shit movies banking by releasing when there is no competition. This also includes genre. There are so few kid's movies, they always make money, especially when the kids are out of school and parents are looking for something to distract them with. Similarly, Horror movies are so rare and cheap to make that they always make double their costs. As to my pick for most disappointing Disney movie, easily Indian Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It was a crappy cash in, that looked like it was written by throwing darts at board with fan fiction posted to it. This is definitely how Zack Snyder makes his movies.
Blade is something that could benefit from going back to it's roots: a certain comic called 'Tomb of Dracula', where a bunch of vampire hunters collect to take on the Drac by ending the atlantean-age magical 'curse' that permits extra-dimensional 'vampires' to exist on Earth in the first place. Paralleling the grouping of vampires that exist with the grouping of hunters, Vanessa van Helsing, that guy in the wheelchair, and incidentally Blade, could be successful. As usual, just permitting a real writer to actually write a story that deep might actually work.
of course Vanessa Van Hellsing is also gonna be black and the lead character, quite possibly lesbian too, the best female van helsing descendant has already been done in hellsing ultimate
"The usual suspects have called it woke." Really? Why might these suspects be? The 90% of normies who are fed up with every classic being sabotaged in order to scold us about not being progressive enough? This guy would probably love an all-female version of Saving Private Ryan.
I just watched The Beekeeper today, saw the reviews and the gross. I think you should rethink condemning Jason from now on. You totally dropped the ball and I'm loving it.
Just like RDJ is Tony Stark, Wesley Snipes is Blade. You can't replace these actors within a generation and not receive backlash, regardless of how good an actor the replacement is. As much as I love Blade, I'd rather no movie than a bad one.
Beekeeper is an undeniable hit. Thankfully the negativity of this "let's tear it down before it even opens journalism" didn't affect millions enjoying the movie. Really this type of article is just shooting fish in a barrel weak. At least you think you're funny. Great job.
Recent Disney flops-ah any of the live action remakes except the Maleficent films. Beauty and the Beast was awful, The Lion King was creepy and by the time Mulan and Aladdin came along I had just given up on them. I liked the Maleficent films because they took the Wicked approach to doing them essentially making a different version of the same story.
Yea the Rumor mill behind Blade was that the script was in a near done state to where they were getting the director and actors notes on it and they both felt that the main character Blade was a B tier character in his own movie as it was mostly focused on other super hero characters. Some have even suggested it turned into a female empowerment movie (not sure if true due to sources).
Given Disney's absolute refusal to abandon their girlboss push you could easily believe it's true, although who knows at this point. Everything Disney touches is now poison.
Honestly, quite a few of these movies like Furiosa, actually look good. George Miller is a master filmmaker. Doubting him is just ridiculously stupid. 🤦♂️
The "usual suspects" so... normal people. Got it. your mad because the chick from scream got fired for supporting terrorists and mad that nobody wants to see woke disney... "oh people are over live action remakes" you 100% know thats not why people dont support disney anymore...
My expectations of Scream 7 improved a ton after those two wastes left/got fired. Ortega is overrated garbage. Snow White is too woke. Disney is on life support. Their last 10 movies have sucked Kraven is not a hero, or even an anti-hero. Thats probably the first of many problems. Another one is the rumour that he is a environmentalist
Never been a fan of people saying a movie is gonna suck before they've seen a bit of it, and I'm still not. There are many that have become cult classics that could have been successful from the beginning if not for smear campaigns. Campaigns often funded by rival studios or just toxic fans that get all pissy because a female lead replaced a male lead in a franchise for example. Or my least favorite of all, "they didn't make the movie they way I would have" or "why didnt they base it on my terrible fan fiction". Sheesh people, Wait till you see the movie.
Whats crazy is Borderlands has a release date but we havent seen a single trailer yet despite it being in production since most movies that have already come out. Borderlands had many issues going on with them not knowing what direction they wanted to take the film in before going with an elsewhere story.
I don't like your dismissive comment about "the usual characters calling things too Woke". They have a point, and they are not racists, misogynists or other ISTS just because they have critical opinion...
I agree with all of these except for Furyoisa. George Miller is a god in the industry, and not to mention the amazing cast. I really hope this turns out to be amzing and will convert the not so happy people into lovers. High hopes!
@@qobikwezi656 The trailer for Furiosa was BAD and got a lot of flack for the dodgy CGI and lack of practical action though, the trailer killed most of my anticipation for it.

i don't care what anybody thinks, the new Mad max film is almost guaranteed to be awesome. trailer looked a lil wonky in places but pretty sure that won't be representative of the final product
I don't think Furiosa will be good, but damnit people, George Miller has earned the benefit of the doubt. The man has one of the strangest filmographies of any director alive FFS!
Yes, the 'Spider-verse' movies from Sony look pretty bad (aside from the animated ones), but Furiosa looks amazing! It's going to be hard to beat Fury Road, but I trust Miller to bring his baby to life.
Well, Disney right now is epitomizing that line from the original Blade: "some motherfuckers always try to ice skate uphill".
Slightly off about the dwarves in Snow White problem. When that picture was leaked Disney initaly swore they were stand ins. They then pivoted and said they were "magical creatures'. The narrative shifted a third time when Disney swore they were actually 'bandits' that aided the stand in for the prince. It was only then, during the 4th retelling of events that Disney released the CGI dwarves and tried to act like it was always the plan.
I can't be the only that noticed the CGI version of Dopey looks more like Alfred E. Newman from Mad Magazine than the cartoon Dopey.
So insulting to Dwarf actors. They pulled the dwarves due in part because of that GoT actor, Peter Dinklage, because he did not get a part and then spouted a bunch of woke lies. But now they are using CGI dwarves. That is obscene.
I think it's stupid that how the dwarves will be portrayed is actually an issue,
No one boycotted the lord of the rings or the hobbit movies back in the day because they didnt get real Dwarves in them
they should have stayed with the Seven Diversity Hires, at least those don't evoke the Uncanny Valley feeling
@@Halfort57 I too prefer the diversity hires. The core problem is that animation lets you get away with stuff that is harder in real life, creating the core problem with making this live action. By using humans, they almost HAD to wade into the political incorrectness of dealing with real life dwarfism as some kind of magical creature effect, and the alternative of just making them seven random humans kind of destroys part of the original story, and triggers the anti-woke crowd. Going with Alvin and the Chipmunks level CGI dwarves is like the worst of all worlds, since its no longer really live action, but its not as good as the original animation. This will be a hugely expensive movie, since the dwarves are main characters in the original, and their relatively large screen time means both that this will be a very costly movie, but also that we will have to endure a ton of CGI characters goofing around on the screen. CGI is best used in small doses, preferably for action scenes. By making CGI the main effect of most of this movie, its certain to both be terrible, and not really mock-able either, since its now just another generic kids movie, and nothing that can really be ridiculed for wokeness, which I actually enjoy, and I was looking forward to mocking the absurdity of these diversity hires trying to actually play the dwarf parts in the original movie.
Hollywood needs to pick up a book occasionally... Seriously, there's millions of incredible stories out there. Choose one.

Blade going R rated and with a smaller budget is the best decision they could have made. In fact a lot of MCU films could do with halving their budget so as to not make bloated souless messes. I always use the first X-men and Deadpool of great examples of working magic with far less. Both of which had their budgets slashed twice during production.
I totally agree with you on Deadpool, but you lost me at X-men. The movie was enjoyable, but the plot holes, the contrivances, and the directing could have used a lot of work!!! Even the character arcs in X-men was laughable!
Blade on the other hand, was done so well the first time, they will be stuck with coming up with something post Whistler if they want to keep audiences happy. It really seems they want to do the Midnight Suns story eventually, so they should stick with a story that will get them there, but definitely keep the budget tight, because you really don't need a lot here! This should be on par with the Budget of "Werefolf by Night" and keeping a lower rating might help it's box office take!
@@tobybigham4196 great takes by you and @gingergeek, and I would add that they should make the story actually primarily about Blade, instead of whatever they were cooking up before all of the hullabaloo stirred up around this movie. Imagine a Blade character story movie about...Blade.

The star of Snow White went to every press junket essentially talking about how much she didn't like the story that she was starring in, how "outdated" it was, flippantly smugging about how her co-star might get totally cut from the film because Snow White's "power" was much more important. Peter Dinklage pretty much pulled the ladder up behind him by complaining about dwarves in movies, keeping seven of his fellow actors from being eligible for work. The entire endeavor was unasked for, unnecessary, nasty and cynical, but sure, it's doomed because "the usual suspects complained." What a boring, unoriginal analysis. Thanks.
Yeah, but it's "whatculture". Most of the good staff have gone, so we're left with a safe milque toast establishment shilling channel. I used to watch them quite regularly when they had some funny and interesting personalities working there. Now I barely bother at all. Especially with wet blankets like what's his name here.
honestly the comments by the girl playing Snow White were blown way out of proportion
it doesn't really matter anyways. it wasn't a movie i was going to watch anyways. I wish DIsney would just at least try and make original stuff as opposed to relying on cheap nostalgia that's either going to suck, or the discourse around the movie is going to suck b/c we have too many dipshits living in their mom's basements complaining about wOkEnEsS
My latina fiance can't stand her either now she must be a usual suspect he's talking about?
Yup
She was clearly joking and being sarcastic about the prince’s scenes getting cut. The fact that you’re a moron and can’t see her visibly smiling is annoying
The Beekeeper looks like a classic Jason Statham film. Daft plot, Jason beating people up while vastly outnumbered and lots of stuff getting blown up. Perfect.

@@xiiirob I've got this and Dune 2 pencilled in for the year. That's it.
Who in their right mind would expect anything else when they see a movie with him as the main character?
The main issue the Snow White remake has had to contend with is comments made by its star that suggested that she and the writers of the remake detested the original. Who would be interested in seeing a remake of a movie they hate? You missed that simple point.
Just a reminder because the writers are responsible for Madame Web are the same writers who are responsible for Morbius
And ironically, Avi Arad isn't involved this time
Oh no
For blockbusters, they are deadly. For superhero movies, they are lethal.
Oh. That's unfortunate. The premise looks fun and Dakota Johnson is always value.
I think Jared Leto is box-office poison. He just seems to be the *wrong* casting choice for every part he plays.
Honestly a lower budget for a movie like blade may not be a bad thing. It could force them to focus on keeping things smaller and more stylized then just a bunch of big cgi. Personally I would love to see a blade movie that is a horror movie first and a action/marvel movie second.
Not only that, maybe they give the CG artists a much needed break.
Yeah but Blade isn't the main star, his daughter is. Blade is only there to give his daughter "life advice." Leaks are already out and the guy playing Blade basically quit unless they completely change the movie.
I agree having a smaller budget won’t upset me but them making blade into feminist propaganda is what is gonna get me mad!
The original blade was a badass ninja who had weakness from his vampire side… He was his own guy and that was awesome!
From the original plan, they wanted Blade to be the “4th” lead (Which is essentially saying he would be an extra in his OWN movie!) and as soon as Mahershala Ali threatened to walk, Marvel gave him the film he wanted but wanted to slice the budget in half as it’s not gonna be alphabet or feminist propaganda
100 million isn't small, it's just the latest big studio minimum. I'd love to see them make a Blade film with half the budget and only practical effects
I don't know about you but, I really want the new Blade to be rated R.

The generic WhatCulture host doesn't understand what happened with the new Snow White movie. Or he was afraid of being cancelled. Peter Dinklage has been criticized by every single small person actor in Hollywood. His comments during early production changed the direction of the movie. Disney was originally going to hire 7 real little people for the roles. In response to Peter's comment, Disney chose to hire 6 people of average height and one little person. After that received a negative reaction Disney chose to go completely uncanny valley. Peter is not very popular within that community as a result.
the host is just reading copy. He didn't write what he reads
I mean...the dwarves in that story were mythical creatures and not *actual* people with dwarfism.
That's what people like Dinklage refuse to acknowledge.@@macethorns1168
@@macethorns1168Well duh, but there are very few roles for people with that condition, so any chance for these actors to get a job in what they love is a welcome event.
Dinklage's downright ignorant comments about the loveable dwarves from the Disney original is more than likely why we don't have live actors in these roles in the first place, but awful, uncanny valley, CGI ones. Which they obviously are replacing the other average sized actors we saw from the leaks and subsequent backlash from that leak.
The official photo of them all is an obvious replacement of the other actors that would have been there, and reshoots are happening for the scenes they can't salvage by placing the CGI over them. We will see these CGI dwarves standing on a lot of things 😂
@@ericdugal8818 I'm sure that Disney will give them plenty of job opportunities when they decide to reimagine the original Star Wars movies as musicals and rename C3PO as RU1-2.😊
I'm pretty sure the intent of the dwarves in the original Snow White story were to be more like the Germanic folklore/Norse mythological dwarves, which weren't people with dwarfism, rather they were earth/mountain spirits that were closely associated with gems, precious metals, and all manner of crafting.
That's categorically irrelevant since they're remaking the animated movie, Snow White and the seven dwarfs which depicts the stereotypical fantasy race we all know. If they were instead telling a completely original tale INSPIRED by that same fairytale THEN they would have a leg to stand on when disregarding the dwarf actors.
The original Snow White tale as discovered and modified by the Brothers Grimm, is likely based on one of two real women (Maria Sophia von Erthal of Lohr - 1730s or Margarete Von Waldeck of Bad Wildungen -1550s). There was a local mine in each case most versions of the original tale had children working the mine given their size.
The Brothers Grimm often softened the harsh realities engrained in the fairy tales they collected; they made the miners dwarves to make the story more fantastical and palatable.
Rammstein - Sonne only Snow White I need to see.
I'm pretty sure you're talking out of your woke rear end. It was intended purely and simply to overturn the whole idea of white people being anything positive, and what it did do, was ensure a sizeable number of actors with dwarfism would not be employed, very inclusive. It was anti-white and anti-male, racist and misandrist in one fell swoop.
At the very least, you could probably get away with giants in a plot despite 'giantism'. So, to me, the same principle applies.
Furiosa? Really? I doubt it. I'm not expecting it to be as good as Fury Road, but I doubt it will be disappointing.
The trailer looked pretty cool.
I imagine even if the reviews are bad it'll do decent financially just because of high expectations
I think the only thing working against it is the fact Fury Road came out almost a decade ago
For real, I'm excited about Furiosa! That dude is crazy. Trailer looks f'ing awesome.
@@loganwithlightsabers3051 Yeah but Thunderdome was 30 years prior to Fury Road.
I haven't been disappointed in any Disney production since the last Disney film I saw was Avengers Endgame.I saw the writing on the wall back then and gave up on them a long time ago.
Yes, exactly. The girl power scene was so fucking cringe.
Have thankfully avoided the 'live action' era, even with young cousins to babysit.
I absolutely love how dwarfism was named after a nordic folklore creature just like gigantism was named after another creature from folklore and now it is offensive to have the folklore creature in things because another thing was also named after it. *shakes head*
True. BTW, since the dwarfs in the original fairy tale pretty much have to be those folklore creatures - that is something that hasn't been used in any Snow White movie yet, mostly they are depicted as some sort of humans in all, I think, so if they wanted a bit more fresh take that is what they should have done. The dwarfs are faerie creatures, their cottage is in another, magical realm, time will perhaps go at a different pace there than it goes for the queen, the glass coffin is magical and the dwarfs know, or maybe even guide, the prince to it and are in the end the ones responsible for her waking up after he finds her. Maybe they are the ones who guide her fate the whole time.
Never underestimate a weak person's need to be a victim. For their thirst for attention is LEGENDARY!!!
Just go with "gnomes" -- unless that's also non-PC. 🙄
Yeah. That's a different creature in nordic (or at least swedish) mythology though. The gnome and the dwarf are separate things. One being a dvärg while the other is a tomte. With that said, I think I looked it up and the dwarves in Snow White are neither. They are some other sort of mythological creature that I don't remember at the moment.@@whiskeyvictor5703

@@rona6063 Trailer footage is not the whole film. Besides, there was a ton of CGI in Fury Road, yet the main product blended it well enough that it wasn't an issue for most people.
And my initial point is that Fury Road built up so much good will that even if the Furiosa trailer looked a little too CGI-y, it could still garner enough audience to avoid being considered "doomed."
Those dwarves were added in after the leak, and backlash, of the "magical creatures", and reshoots are happening to fit them in. It should be obvious at this point that's what's happening 😂
Boiling down the Snow White debacle to the "usual suspects" calling the film "too woke" is so typically simplistic of you. Way to dumb down the issue. I remember now why I stopped subscribing to WhatCulture. Every video you guys put together feels like it was cobbled together with a few Google searches. There's nothing genuine or well-thought-out here. It's so easy and safe and unoriginal.
Where's the lie?
Whatever writer for this list that threw in the cringe-inducing, eyerolling-baiting "usual suspects" line when it comes to people complaining about Disney being too woke was clearly paid under the table by Disney to put that catty, deliberately pseudo intellectual line in this video 😂
I guess it's just easier for them to be as catty and immature as their current target audience instead of being smart enough to be neutral and just focusing on actually good storytelling 😉
A blade movie from the perspective of a group of vampires just trying to survive while being hunted by the badass Blade would be nice too. A hunter x hunter situation
Soooo... It's offensive to use actual little people to play little people now? I thought it was the other way around, that it was offensive to use normal height people to play dwarves or animating them instead of hiring actors...
Who the hell can keep up? I'm NOT one of the dumbasses using "woke" without understanding the term, but I do think the outrage culture has gone too far. From all political camps.
I think Blade has potential to be a big hit if they make it rated R and focus all the attention on blade. Blade can make just as much money as Deadpool if the marketing is done right

You can try to be dismissive and call them the "usual suspects" because you don't have the balls to call out Disney and their endless woke output, but if it was just a few disgruntled fans these films wouldn't be failing. It's not. It's millions of fans sick and tired of it and Disney absolutely refusing to listen.
Nailed it !.
How about this?
What does "woke" mean?
@@BerylliumGold it means nonsense riddled with Marxism
@@BerylliumGold Simple: shoehorning overrepresentation of supposedly "oppressed" groups (meaning those that you leftists believe are incapable of succeeding on merit alone), injecting a DEI message everywhere possible, and trying to convince Americans that we're not 70% white.
Now I have a question for you: what is a woman?
@@BerylliumGold Anti white aka racism against whites, anti judeo-christian religions values, anti heterosexual, anti mens, anti nuclear family, anti capitalism, thats basically what woke means, just check snow white and the 7 dwarfs that woke Disney make with no white even when the girl is named cause she is white as snow (racism against whites check), no 7 dwarfs but 7 diverse plp that they show firts before they do that terrible Jim Henson type look alike dwarfs (erase the heterosexual hard working white dwarst, multiple checks).
Highly looking forward to Mad Max Furiosa.
Massive massive spiderman fan. Won't be going to watch Madam Web.....looks horrendous going on the trailers.
I get more entertainment from my toilet than any Disney remake these days! 😅😅😅
Furiosa actually looks ok. Looking forward to that one.
Huh, I thought Beekeeper looked like it would be fun, and one of the few movies I'd at least think seriously about going to see this year, along with Argyle. I agree with the rest of these, though. I'd never heard of Distant until you listed it, actually.

pretty common.
I am not sure. I wanted this film. But it seems kind of bubblegum. What really sold Fury Road was it's grittiness! The characters looked warn out, beaten down by a world that would eat them alive. But the casting of this really seems off, and everyone looks like they still have that new car smell! I really hope this comes out better than it looks, as I loved Theron's performance, and the whole story concept. Even Emmortan Joe looks so wrong in this. I am curious how Nathan Jones will be reprising his Rictus Erectus role!
I think I'd be more stoked if this was a sequel with Charlize Theron reprising her role. But hopefully it's still good.
@@atomicgator5207 That would be awesome! For sure! I am not sure about this Anya girl. She has crazy eyes, but she comes off about as menacing as a box of kittens!!! I really pray they don't screw this up!
I think the last Mad Max was just "feminist" enough to pass the "modern audience" test. He wouldnt compromise the plot or other characters to the extent that Dizzzznee has with their train crashe movies. I think that George Miller, Denis Villeneuve & Tom Cruise are the last directors who arent yielding 100% to the Hollywood "message".
The issue with Blade IIRC was that they wanted Blade to be the "sidekick" to the real protagonist. That's why Ali threatened to walk away. It was a dumb idea.
How strange. I'd just naturally assumed that after Jack Black's incredible performance in "The Mandalorian," his presence alone would have been enough to guarantee massive success.
Maybe they need Lizzo, too. 🤷♂️
My biggest disappointment of the Year is Indie and the dial of Destiney. I would have loved to go see a good Indy film after the ridiculous crystal skull. What we got was the destruction of Indy so they could gender swap the main character. I could have lived with out seeing Harrison Ford being a grouchy old man in his underwear.
The problem with the Dwarves in Snow White is no one seriously believes those actors were "stand ins" and the image released by Disney months later when the scandal already brewed for months convinced no one as they clearly were not up to Disney usual standards and looked thrown together and fake. The so-called stand ins were in costume, looked nothing like the animated versions and there was previous statements by Disney that they were not using Dwarves, mainly because of Peter Dinklage saying it was offensive. Why would they all be different heights with one little person if they were stand ins for CGI? What would be the point of that? Then you had the comments from the lead actress on top basically dumping all over the original. If the dwarves were genuine in the latter photos, they could have easily nipped the whole controversy in the bud by releasing that photo months prior. It did not exist because the seven far left diverse adults WERE the new dwarves. Everyone knows it.
And people are also getting tired of Disney and people like them saying offensive things, insulting their audience, changing things for far left political reasons, clearly trying to fan bait their audience and ramming politics into kid movies, then gaslighting the same audience when anyone complains, like it is their problem they don't like it and snidely label people who do as "the usual suspects that complain." You mean like everyone? It isn't our problem, it is theirs for doing it. Box office for all the bomb Disney's movies have proven WE are the majority, not you. Videos also acting like the dwarves were always animated and CGI, like Disney is telling the truth, and everyone who said otherwise was nuts is also the definition of gaslighting.
Still, it's not like anyone went to actually watch the 'Sound of Freedom' Movie ... all those Right Wing Radio Hosts who bought and gave away all those tickets just for video evidence of sold out theaters with no one watching ... they must've felt used and stupid for wasting their money.
honestly disney should have just used little people actors as the dwarves.

Thanks, Disney for some more nightmare fuel.😅
yeah these two films are gonna flop and i bet venom 3 might get delay because of this but yeah 2024 will be the year Sony let go of spider man for good!
No one wants to see a reimagining of their favorite disney movie if the lead actress shats all over it with every breath. Nice interference, though. 🙄
I'd refer to them as the "Fanbase" being distressed over disrespecting the source material or dare I say, childhood memories. as opposed to "usual suspects," being "woke," but hey, that's WC being WC
Also, The Beekeeper is fun silly action. It felt like OG Transporter era Statham
We're not tired of live action adaptations. We're sick and tired of wokeness showing up and shitting all over everything.
The first two Blade movies only cost around $50 mio. each (the 3rd was a bit more expensive) and they were great, so even when you adjust for inflation, $100mio. for the reboot seems perfectly fine.

The CGI dwarves in Snow White are a reaction, not the original intent.
The Last Jedi blew any faith I had in Disney.

Rachael Zegler didn't just bash the source material, she also managed to make herself look like an unlikable spoilt child in the process.

Hey! We're over here 👋
One variable almost never mentioned in box office performance is that fewer people have the disposable income to view a film multiple times in a theater...especially when high definition televisions provide a much better experience than in the past.
Another one is that the behavior of modern audiences tend to make that experience less enjoyable rather than enhance it.
The biggest factor though, is streaming.
People will miss the cinema and wait a month or two for it to hit their streaming service and watch it at home, rather than go to a cinema, buy overpriced tickets and food, possibly have others talk during it, get all the ads before the movie, worrying about parking etc.
People would rather watch it at home, on their streaming service, which costs less a month than a movie ticket.
People did this during the pandemic when cinemas were closed and it really took off.
I think the game has changed, and the ratings system needs to change with it.
It should be based on audiences on all platforms, not just cinema box office.
So it the economy doing great or is it in the toilet? You guys don't get to have it both ways. Fact of the matter is that people are getting sick and tired of the same recycled shit and the politics being relentlessly shoehorned into almost everything that's coming out.
@@macethorns1168the economy has nothing to do with the average person's budget moron, especially for entertainment media
"You guys..."?! Who are you writing about? But, in fact, I can have it both ways.
Most, if not all, of the traditional economic indicators used to determine the strength of the economy are doing exceptionally well. But never in modern history have these indicators been more divorced from the everyday life and financial health of the common worker in America. The old saw that a rising tide lifts all ships is obsolete. More than any time since chattel slavery only those with yachts are lifted and the rest may stay afloat, get scuttled, or drown. The good economy does NOT trickle down!@@macethorns1168
@@macethorns1168 The economy isn't doing great. It hasn't since COVID.
I never said that the economy was doing well. Streaming services don't cost that much, and a lot less than movie tickets. So people go for the cheaper option, and sitting at home, watching a movie on a streaming service costs less than parking, cinema tickets and cinema food and drinks.
I bet if streaming didn't exist, movies would be doing better in the cinema. It is the number one reason for movies struggling. Movies not taking risks with original ideas is another.
weird, I thought blade was going to be the tale of the granddaughter of the actual blade, a 50% black, 25% native American and 25% latino descendant non-binary empowered transgender demigoddess, from the Bronx.
As a rule, I don't follow movies in production, but it's still a surprise to find they hadn't even started on the new Blade movie. I assumed it was coming out soon, if anything. It certainly doesn't bode well, which is unfortunate as they set it up to be the next big thing in The Eternals (which was a flop, granted).
I have next to 0 expectations for Borderlands. I was already dubious from the start (being as it's a video game movie, those are notorious for being mediocre at best), but once they announced Kevin Hart as Roland my expectations went from being in shallow waters, to plunging down an undersea cliff. Roland is an average height stoic type. Kevin Hart's whole schtick is that he's a short funny guy that often shows insecurities centred around his height. I just can't see him doing the 'serious ex-soldier' routine, and if they lean into his height and jokes like they tend to do in movies he's in, the character won't be Roland anymore. I was disappointed that they didn't stick with Claptrap's actual VA too (though I"m generally OK with Jack Black, it's just another 'insert recognizable celebrity at the expense of the actual character' tactic). Offhand, the only actor who actually might work for the character was Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis. I could actually see her pulling off an older Tannis, at least. That's another thing though; the actor and character ages are all over the place. Basically, it has been mismanaged from the word go and I won't be surprised if even the costumes end up underwhelming (the silhouettes have never inspired much confidence), to the point that 'I've seen better homemade cosplay' is a claim that can be backed up with evidence. I"ll be happy to be proven wrong, but at this point it's looking like you're better betting on NFTs making a comeback.
I'm still looking forward to Kraven In Name Only just because "Gimme a shirtless Aaron Taylor Johnson rocking an adult film mustache.".
Yeah it's a silly reason but don't take that from me.
The usual suspects were right all along.
They're never right dude. Usually on the wrong side of most things.

Madame Webb trailer looks like a porn parody
ALWAYS trust in the brilliance of George Miller. He created an entire sub-genre, and Furiosa is going to be amazing!
the trailer looks awful, but i have full faith, the man that directed happy feet cant do wrong
Its just another gender swapped franchise, instead of Max we get furiosa. They even have the nerves to put mad max in the title tho he has nothing to do with this story.
My biggest recent Disney disappointment--Thor Love and Thunder. Such wasted potential after the awesome Thor Ragnorak. I don't think I've seen a Disney Movie since. I liked Mandalorian S3 though so . . .
A lot of these suffer from the same problem which is executives or people in power making strange decisions finally catching up to already outdated and old fashioned ideas. Snow White is a decent example of something that would have done well in 2012-2016 when people wanted more token representation in any form just to have something and when criticism could be (nay, should be) ignored because it was hugely exaggerated and over the top. Now, people have some self respect and standards, they don't need to be preached to by multi billion dollar corporations on how to be nice or to 'represent' them as if they cannot relate to someone of a different race or gender who displays human characteristics. Now people are insulted when they are pandered to sacrificing good writing and characters for empty, shallow point scoring characters who serve one purpose to look good while not actually being good.
people didnt want token representation, thats why all the flops are happening.
There is no way the Mad Max/Furiosa movie will bomb. That's just insane. Watch the making of Fury Road sometime, when even the actors thought it was shit. The director knows how to cut a movie. If George Miller made a 90 minute movie of Joe Biden taking a dump, it would be the most action-packed movie of the year.
Scream 7 will do well, only because there is no competition in horror. The Saw, Nunn and Paranoia Activities movies proves that point. It wont get awards, but it will double its costs. The rest of the list is likely doomed.
Kraven may find an audience as an ultraviolent movie, borderline super hero movie. Just look at Venom; horrible movie, but made money with the super hero violence. Kraven will no doubt lean heavy into the Boyz and Invincible audience, but then again, Morbius did awful. Though that was more to do with campy writing, than bad directing. As long as Kraven stays away from the cheesy humor, it will do well. Not great, but it will make a bit more than it cost to make it. What is sad is, that the success of this movie will determine if we get a Spider-man sequel for Kraven's Last Hunt. They have been trying get Last Hunt off the ground for decades. I would hate to see that fail. If you are not familiar with Kraven's Last Hunt, its the End Game equivalent for Spider-man as the hero is utterly defeated and will no doubt be a massive money maker if it wasn't for the required pre-staging it requires to introduce Kraven and give Spider-man stability before Kraven destroys him.
The Lion King Pre-qual will do well because of its target audience of black families, and also appeals to white families, and that it isn't shoehorning black actors into traditionally white parts. The movie itself is likely boring and unoriginal, but parents will take their kids to it to occupy them for 3 hours and not be bored themselves. Just look at the Little Mermaid live remake. I could care less about the controversy behind it, I just couldn't stand the boring story, and crappy CGI, yet the Little Mermaid made money. Not Disney money, but the type of money that Paramount would be happy with.
The Snow White live action remake is a big question mark. There is a lot controversy behind it, and that CGI photo didn't make me feel better about it. They look like the 1990s Garbage Pail Kids. If that's what the dwarves look like after CGI, they should have kept the stand-ins. Either they make animation corrections, via the Sonic Movie, or they use camera tricks via Lord of the Rings, but if they keep what they got, it's going to give kids nightmares. Regardless, it will break even for the same reason the Lion King prequel will.
Madam Web has a chance if it goes supernatural thriller and stays away from the Super Hero genre. Unfortunately, i doubt that will happen.
Blade only works for the same reason Kraven may work. I have less hope than I do for Kraven. When the original Blade came out, there was no good Superhero movies outside Batman, and it didn't feel like a superhero movie. It's inherently bad writing and has very little going for it that audiences haven't seen before in other vampire movies. I doubt it will do anything we haven't already seen the first Blade movies or the Underworld franchise. Not only that, but Blade has no good source material. The new Blade movie is being made solely for nostalgia of the original film. This doesn't mean a great writer, and decent director can't turn it around, but judging by Marvel's recent entries with mediocre characters, I don't have my hopes up. It just doesn't have enough originality. This would have been better served as a TV series, where they can build the character, rather than throw him at the screen like confetti at a Rip Taylor show.
The Beekeeper will make money only because it was cheaply made and it stars Jason Stratham. Don't get me wrong, its going to suck, but it has no competition, and its a dude movie, just like every Jason Stratham movie. One day Stratham's deal with Satan will expire and he will stop making money off these shitty films.
Distant, it's too early to tell. Its sounds bad, but think how bad the pitch meeting for Interstellar or Contact went? Sometimes it works on film.
Regardless, whether they make money or not depends more on when they are released, than if they are good or not. There has been plenty of great movies buried by big budget films, and complete shit movies banking by releasing when there is no competition. This also includes genre. There are so few kid's movies, they always make money, especially when the kids are out of school and parents are looking for something to distract them with. Similarly, Horror movies are so rare and cheap to make that they always make double their costs.
As to my pick for most disappointing Disney movie, easily Indian Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It was a crappy cash in, that looked like it was written by throwing darts at board with fan fiction posted to it. This is definitely how Zack Snyder makes his movies.
Blade is something that could benefit from going back to it's roots: a certain comic called 'Tomb of Dracula', where a bunch of vampire hunters collect to take on the Drac by ending the atlantean-age magical 'curse' that permits extra-dimensional 'vampires' to exist on Earth in the first place.
Paralleling the grouping of vampires that exist with the grouping of hunters, Vanessa van Helsing, that guy in the wheelchair, and incidentally Blade, could be successful.
As usual, just permitting a real writer to actually write a story that deep might actually work.
of course Vanessa Van Hellsing is also gonna be black and the lead character, quite possibly lesbian too, the best female van helsing descendant has already been done in hellsing ultimate
"The usual suspects have called it woke." Really? Why might these suspects be? The 90% of normies who are fed up with every classic being sabotaged in order to scold us about not being progressive enough? This guy would probably love an all-female version of Saving Private Ryan.
Am huge fan of borderlands, I literally have a blue siren mark sleeve that is my own mark and I have ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE for this movie attempt.

I just watched The Beekeeper today, saw the reviews and the gross. I think you should rethink condemning Jason from now on. You totally dropped the ball and I'm loving it.
Just like RDJ is Tony Stark, Wesley Snipes is Blade. You can't replace these actors within a generation and not receive backlash, regardless of how good an actor the replacement is. As much as I love Blade, I'd rather no movie than a bad one.
Beekeeper is an undeniable hit. Thankfully the negativity of this "let's tear it down before it even opens journalism" didn't affect millions enjoying the movie. Really this type of article is just shooting fish in a barrel weak. At least you think you're funny. Great job.
That was a great impersonation of Jason Statham! 😂
Recent Disney flops-ah any of the live action remakes except the Maleficent films. Beauty and the Beast was awful, The Lion King was creepy and by the time Mulan and Aladdin came along I had just given up on them. I liked the Maleficent films because they took the Wicked approach to doing them essentially making a different version of the same story.
Yea the Rumor mill behind Blade was that the script was in a near done state to where they were getting the director and actors notes on it and they both felt that the main character Blade was a B tier character in his own movie as it was mostly focused on other super hero characters. Some have even suggested it turned into a female empowerment movie (not sure if true due to sources).
Yes, reportedly Blade himself was the 4th lead following behind 3 female leads. In other words, Blade wasn't even the star of his own movie
Given Disney's absolute refusal to abandon their girlboss push you could easily believe it's true, although who knows at this point. Everything Disney touches is now poison.
Star Wars is the biggest Disney flop. I don’t care how much money they made, those movies suck. Except Rouge One. That movie is really good.
Honestly, quite a few of these movies like Furiosa, actually look good. George Miller is a master filmmaker. Doubting him is just ridiculously stupid. 🤦♂️
The "usual suspects" so... normal people. Got it. your mad because the chick from scream got fired for supporting terrorists and mad that nobody wants to see woke disney... "oh people are over live action remakes" you 100% know thats not why people dont support disney anymore...
My expectations of Scream 7 improved a ton after those two wastes left/got fired. Ortega is overrated garbage.
Snow White is too woke. Disney is on life support. Their last 10 movies have sucked
Kraven is not a hero, or even an anti-hero. Thats probably the first of many problems. Another one is the rumour that he is a environmentalist
Disney will do anything for a quick cash grab these days, Marvel, Lucas Film, 20th Century Fox, who is next?
Never been a fan of people saying a movie is gonna suck before they've seen a bit of it, and I'm still not. There are many that have become cult classics that could have been successful from the beginning if not for smear campaigns. Campaigns often funded by rival studios or just toxic fans that get all pissy because a female lead replaced a male lead in a franchise for example. Or my least favorite of all, "they didn't make the movie they way I would have" or "why didnt they base it on my terrible fan fiction". Sheesh people, Wait till you see the movie.
Whats crazy is Borderlands has a release date but we havent seen a single trailer yet despite it being in production since most movies that have already come out. Borderlands had many issues going on with them not knowing what direction they wanted to take the film in before going with an elsewhere story.

Looks like the trailer has finally come out. For what it's worth, the CGI looked better than The Flash.
