Topic	The Funko Pop bubble has burst? over $30 million in Funko Pops sent to landfills
Count_Drachma 03/05/23 7:50:52 PM #41:	captpackrat posted... Personally I think they're all hideous. The only ones that were any good were the MLP ones that looked like actual MLP toys. That's not even a Pop!. There are MLP Pop!s, though. WizardofHoth posted... There's now a new Cocaine Bear Funko pop coming soon I might put it next to my Sharknado Pop! ParanoidObsessive posted... What's really interesting is how Disney managed to take a franchise entirely built around intensive merchandising that thrived for 35 straight years and managed to wreck it so badly in only 10. It's an amazing achievement (in ineptitude). Yeah, it's been fucking insane, although sadly predictable given the overall arc. How could anybody expect anything except failure given who they wrote out after EG? adjl posted... Which ideology is that? Personally, I don't believe it's so much that Disney itself believes in an ideology -- although maybe many of its content creators subscribe to far-left social issues -- but the fact that it's trying to pander in a socially progressive direction because it assumes that's the market's direction. However, it's driving off existing fans and -- as we saw with CW -- the more overtly "woke" content is often niche. And sure, going overboard on social issues is probably hurting Disney, but there are a lot of other problems, too. The SW sequel trilogy was a soulless, focus-grouped attempt to remake the original trilogy. Most of the films in the MCU are kinda spotty at best, and have involved talent who probably shouldn't be in the superhero-media industry at all (including the heavily problematic Joss Whedon). On top of that, MAYBE the frequency is another issue. Whatever the case, I haven't been excited to hear a new Marvel project announced since Avengers and whatever hope I had for SW was quashed by TFA. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.
