That's pessimistic


Perhaps but it's what all Hollywood blockbusters have shifted towards. I enjoy some of it but it's just so invasive at this point.

Let's go through the list, shall we..

Captain Marvel - Does not look good. I don't care about the character. If I watch it'll only be for Nick Fury.
Avengers: Endgame - Infinity War is the apex of modern comic book movies so I'll watch this, sure. I really hope Thanos doesn't meet his end in a really stupid way though.
Dumbo - No.
Shazam - It looks like they're open to turning superhero tropes on their heads so this could be enjoyable.
Aladdin - HELL NO.
Dark Phoenix - This has been in development hell forever. Gonna be a shitfest.
Toy Story 4 - This is just plain unnecessary and a cashgrab. TS3 ended the trilogy perfectly.
Spider-Man: Far From Home - I didn't like Homecoming very much so I'm not particularly jumping to see this one.
The Lion King - Visually impressive but it looks to be a complete retread of the original. I don't really want to support Disney's business practices being akin to just repainting an old antique with a shiny new coat.
Frozen 2 - Didn't like Frozen so no.
Star Wars: Episode IX - Star Wars is in perhaps the worst spot it's ever been. It's not that the Disney Star Wars movies are bad... they just make me not care. That's even worse.

Perhaps the quality won't be the best from your perspective, but do you agree that many of these will gross $1 billion or close to it?

At release date, the oldest twins will be 7 and the youngest twins will be almost 5.

Yes, I have two sets of twins, so four kids total.

Youngest ones are still pushovers for the older ones at this point.

Captain Marvel - Not feeling it. Never a fan of Carol, and the girl power push is usually a red flag.

Avengers: Endgame - Worried. Part one was everything I want, but the comic story won't work for follow up, so I'm not sure where to go or how it'll all work out.

Dumbo - meh. May borrow a DVD from the library just to see what changed.

Shazam - ugh. I expect it to work in the end, but what we've seen is largely "adults say stupid things" and it makes my head hurt.

Aladdin - Not hopeful. It may be good, or could be the "watch Will Smith act like his old Fresh Prince persona".

Dark Phoenix - be more interested if they were going to keep to the original, you know, with hellfire club being a sex club.

Toy Story 4 - Can I just say I think Pixar is over rated and leave it at that?

Spider-Man: Far From Home - Homecoming made vulture work, but missed the point of Peter Parker. I'm not expecting better

The Lion King - See dumbo

Frozen 2 - Just hoping the music doesn't take the world by storm again. I hate it when even stuff I like is overplayed.

Star Wars: Episode IX- Maybe the train wreck they've made for themselves will be entertainingly bad.

I'll get to them all at some point. Avengers: Endgame is the only one I can say I'm looking forward to. I'll pay the nerd tax on the other comics movies if I don't have to go out of my way for them, and will look for cheap options on the remakes of cartoon classics. I'll wait a few weeks after launch to "rifftrax" watch Star Wars IX unless something exceptional happens.

Its just the same thing every year, now: superheroes, comic book movies, and Star Wars.

I honestly dont remember the last time I went to a movie theater.

Im not saying that some of the remakes dont seem interesting, but why is everything a besides the superheroes a remake? These writers have nothing on the guys from the 70s-90s.
