You can tell it was re-written in a way to make it the launching point for a new series villain rather than it being its own contained narrative. You felt it as you watched. It is kinda like the Pixar film Brave, you can tell it was rewritten and changed halfway through.

This is from the same company who didn't have proper screenwriters for their Disney+ shows and just told directors what to make, until the new WGA terms forced them to do so. Not surprised they're out of touch with their movies.

Was it? I've only seen it once a long time ago. Yup, the first writer wanted it to be more about Merida's struggle to live her own life and not be part of the clan hierarchy. So the first half was all about her fighting against getting married and being obviously the strongest person in the clan but still expected to marry and all that. It would have been a father/daughter story. Then the second writer came in and shifted focus to the mother/daughter relationship. From the Wiki: Announced in April 2008 as The Bear and the Bow,[18] Brave is Pixar's first fairy tale.[19][20][21] Writer and director Brenda Chapman considers it a fairy tale in the tradition of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm.[22] She also drew inspiration from her relationship with her daughter.[23] Chapman conceived the project and was announced as the film's director, making her Pixar's first female director,[24] but in October 2010, she was replaced by Mark Andrews after creative disagreements between her and John Lasseter.[25][26] Chapman found the news of her replacement "devastating", but later stated that her "vision came through in the film" and that she remained "very proud of the movie, and that I ultimately stood up for myself."[23][4] Chapman then stated in an interview in 2018 that while she was still bittersweet about being taken off the film and believed that there was no reason to do so creatively, she felt that it "opened more doors for me to have that happen".[26] Brave is also the first Pixar film with a female protagonist and Pixar's first film to have two credited directors. Following his hiring as director, Mark Andrews did a major overhaul of the story to give more focus on Merida and her troubled relationship with her mother. Among others, he cleared away many magic elements, which he found affected the environment.[27] However, he wanted to stay truthful to Chapman's story. He said: "The bones of the film were totally fine. That was not the issue. What was hanging off the bones, there were problems. There were things that were not working. The focuses and balances that were out of whack."[28] --- https://i.imgur.com/GWG5c3r.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

Did they dump a lot of money into the movie? Yes, they really did. Was it a banger? Let's just says there's a huge reason why it didn't do as well at the BO as they expected it to...because it was bad. I mean, you know the movie is going to be a dumpster fire when the whole premise relied on Michelle Pfeiffer being a moron and not mention anything about Kang the Conqueror in the Quantum realm.

I think it's more when you have a franchise that's 20 movies deep people are over the 'that was okay' kinda movies.
It's pretty obvious people are feeling saturated. That doesn't mean superhero movies are dead but maybe they'll go back to just going to see the big and popular heroes like Batman and Spider-man. --- A Fallen Mascot ... Copied to Clipboard!

Worst part for me was the screenplay and cassies actress. Part of what made the mcu excel at first was how they tried to sell you these fantastic worlds with a hint of realism. Cassies line in the movie saying "you know, just quantum" showed me how lazy the had become in this area.
Also Michael Douglas seemed like he was revived out of cryogenic chamber just to act here and that was a shame. Movie looked nice at least. They also sold you this movie as the one thats moving along the continuity and it failed at that as well. --- Mas dicen, que en las dimensiones de nuestro ser... hay muchos detalles por conocer... ...
