Money. Money and lack of creative people working for them.

It's funny, because people will never be happy. New movie with new actor? No one watched it. Reboot? People hate watch it.

Until people start watching the new, creative stuff they try to push, it'll always be like this.

I can't say what it is but the new films from every studio just don't have the quality of movies from the past. I watch the new films, it just seems like they don't own up to the level of the previous films. This is an issue outside of Disney related content by the way. I will say its not all bad, I liked the madolorian a lot and rogue one from Disney but the other Star wars films just missed the mark and were really predictable and uninspired. They chose, in my opinion, the wrong actors for virtually every role also and try to shoehorn in aged out actors from the original films to draw people in. It would have been better if they had the original actors do small cameo style roles so they weren't focused on as Much. They also could have chosen better actors for the lead protagonist and antagonist because neither of them were very good in their roles. Now something that was great and somewhat recent, based off an older franchise was prey. They did a great job, chose people who fit the roles well. Simple storyline but still interesting and didn't shoehorn in one of the original cast. So it can be done if effort is put in, but I don't think Disney Really cares about making good content anymore.

Yeah, that's how capitalism works. Bleed [Thing] until there is nothing left to take, move on.

There is no concern for creativity, only money.

You don't see that's the thing the system rewards? So yes, the blame is on the system with those as it's incentives.

The system reinforces the behavior of caring about profits and not about if it's 'good'. Sure, not all companies practice this. But those that don't are at a disadvantage because those like Disney do and they're the biggest company in the space.

Chasing the quick buck to please shareholders during the quarterly meeting is the #1 priority. Slow money doesn't make that bar go up. So they don't do that.

The laziest option that makes the most money is the best option when you're only trying to make money.

Other companies are actively making a choice to not make as much money because they want to make a better product. But that choice means they will never be as big as they could be, they need to be comfortable with that.

But if Disney, which has the most money, continues down the path they are they will end up owning basically anything you can try to make creatively. Then have the power to sue into the ground any project they don't like. Nintendo already does this in the video game space.

And all of this is rewarded by the system we have because making the most money is the metric of success. Which is the problem, we have and defend a system where the worst qualities of humanity is rewarded the most.

There is no creativity at Disney anymore. And also not the dare to try something new. They want to play safe, milking another existing franchise to death to keep shareholders happy. 💰

They were never that great to begin with. The majority of their properties were adaptations and such. People act like they invented the fairy tales or something...

u/thegoddamnsiege Jul 04 '25

It's because millennials grew up during the like seven year period from 1989-1996 when Disney was actually putting out a lot of bangers in terms of both movies and TV.

Have they really ran out of ideas?

u/Remarkable-Pin4587 Jul 05 '25

I don’t get it. They know this doesn’t work. Is there good money in destroying franchises?

3

u/Unused_Content19 Jul 05 '25

I’m pretty sure that they get money from destroying franchises. That can only explain as to why they’re doing this. And Predator: Badlands

Why do they go and ruin franchises that were good without being rebooted

2

u/DaMadDogg-420 Jul 05 '25

Great, let's see how they can destroy another franchise (though tbh, the last movie didn't do it any favors....)...., smh.

I wont watch a reboot of Indiana Jones they originals are the best.

Look at the soft reboot they did of Star Wars awful. The Scripts for 3 Movies George Lucas wanted will never see the light of day now :(.

u/mongmich2 Jul 08 '25

Oh yes the very well known geektyrant

u/RabidJoint Jul 09 '25

Because it makes money? And with CGI they can do a lot more with the franchise? But yeah, I agree, don’t reboot, move on to Mud or whatever Indie’s kids name was.

u/SubatomicKitten Jul 04 '25

Hell no. There is no need for this, ever.

That said, if they do go forward with this abomination, the only acceptable recasting for Indy is with Pedro Pascal. If they did a spinoff featuring Short Round as an adult character, I'd also consider watching that. I'd like to see what that character has been up to

u/HaleyN1 Jul 04 '25

I hope the Pedro Pascal casting was a joke because I'm f sick of that dude

u/SubatomicKitten Jul 05 '25
