    The Mandalorian and Grogu is fine. Not great. Certainly didn’t feel like a blockbuster. But it is enjoyable. I’d compare it to a Muppets movie in scope and feel, but honestly Muppets movies incorporate some wicked humor that puts them a step above this. Still, I’m a Star Wars fan and I love getting more Star Wars stuff. Except Episode 9. That can fuck right off.

    Moana, though? Moana was an incredible movie. Animation was the perfect medium. The songs and voice acting were great. How could “live action” improve on that?

    Look at this:

    Does anything look better or more interesting in any way in the live action version? There is literally no reason for this to exist. It looks worse in literally every way.

      Everything looks absolutely washed out like a cheap Netflix series. I hate how movies look these days.

        They should’ve saturated the fuck out of the film. It should be bright and colorful like they just invented color movies. That movie should look like someone recreated it out of skittles.

        You could drop a still from The Dark Knight into that list and you wouldn’t be able to tell without squinting. Is that Hei-hei, or is it The Scarecrow?

          Can’t wait for Disney to adapt Encanto and the only colors in the movie to be grey, beige and brown. If this is how they colored Moana, that takes place in a tropical island, Encanto has no hope.
