  • Willow, the latest low-effort product on Disney+, is pretty much the personification of everything bad about modern writing. Join me as I take a look.

      @@plamenyonkov9154 I would love to see a live action show of Chronicles of Prydain if Disney still has rights to it. The Black Cauldron was flawed but still an enjoyable romp that showed promise even though it had to cut out and alter stuff and condense the story a lot, so having a multi-season series to explore the books in depth would be welcome. It pains me that Disney and fans often forget Princess Eilonwy in the Disney Princesses list. Just imagine seeing Arawn Death-Lord on screen in his full glory. :)

      The only real exception was possibly Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance which despite only lasting for one season consistenting of just ten episodes was some of the best televison I've seen within this modern decade. You can really tell unlike near everything else from the Witcher, Rings of Woke, Willow or Wheel of Time the people who made that show clearly loved and respected the original movie and generally sought to add to it rather then tear it down for the sake of THE MESSAGE.

      In total fairness, Warwick Davis wasn't very good in the original Willow either. I know that "vertically challenged" & "actor" probably makes for a very small Venn Diagram group, but after seeing both Peter Dinklage & even old Billy Barty, one realizes that the talent pool isn't very large.

They followed Elora Danan as she grew up and learned about her purpose, fleshed out the world, and showed Willow Ufgood after becoming a great wizard.

    Disney's love for Ginger Plank of Wood is 100% based on what she looks like. Both Solo and Falcon and Winter Soldier did the same trick where she wears a helmet then in a dramatic moment takes it off and absolutely everything stops for a couple minutes because the creators are expecting everyone to have their entire worldview destroyed by this reveal. They also expect the audience, just like the other characters, to instantly forgive everything this character has done and desperately want to be her friend based solely on her appearance.

    • @M4GG0TK1NG

      I'm fairly certain in both Solo and F/WS they intentionally made her look more ethnically ambiguous than she actually is because in Willow she just looks like a ginger but in those other titles she looks fairly brown skinned for a ginger.

Best to just savour the prime extracts from those bold and noble people who make that sacrifice and endure the whole sorry saga rewritten to correct the past 'incorrect' thinking for us. In the the UK we wait in dread for the latest crop of multi cultural attitude corrected rehashes of Dicken's 'A Christmas Carol' which will surely soon be upon us. Corrected of course by people who know far better.

      What I don’t understand is the contradiction between the drive to reboot old movies, yet the insufferable need to reimagine these stories with current sensitivities and drenched in identity politics (political correctness). This is clearly painting by the numbers by modern production companies, take one part “known story” add “all political correct tick boxes” add “mediocre moralism” mix and presto “modern TV show / Movie”. Lack of actual creativity, lack of talent, lack of daring to stick their necks out, lack of originality etc. Let’s be honest, the entertainment business is a reflection of our society - a shallow and empty illusion. So how can anyone expect a modern reboot of a mediocre movie at best be anything but complete shit?

    Congratulations! You made it further than I did before turning it off for good. It' felt like it was written by teenagers for teenagers in a high school drama class. It wasn't just the unrelatable obsessing that means very little in the face of inhalation, or the acting that came across like no one wanted to be there, it was the little things. Like how their cloths always looked bright and laundered while living rough on a hike across the country side; the musical score that lacked the levity of the original; and, the lack of common dark prejudices and social statues that brought importance to the presence of Madmartigan and provided a personal struggle for willow relatable in some way to all ages. It should be mandatory for any adventure writer to maybe go on an adventure and live in the wild for a time, or at least step outside their gilded life to see what a competent adventurer and high stakes life choices looks like.
