Remakes are getting out of hand recently. I’m sure that most of us are tired of the same things being remade over and over again. Like everytime I check my feed on Youtube, I always see another old show being revived or remade. And even if we get new ideas, they are never going to beat the live action remake from Disney. Ever since their first live action remake Alice In Wonderland made bank, Disney started pumping out remakes as fast as humanly possible. As of now we have at least 20 of these things in over 10 years. Most of them not a lot of people know about because they shaft half of them onto Disney+. Now at first they were somewhat recreation of the original like the Cinderella remake which was a retelling of the original. So naturally Disney decided to ruin all that by changing their future remakes so much that it is just plagiarism. However, people are now finally getting tired of it. Not because the movies are bad, even though they are, but because they changed in those movies. Every time they do a live action movie, they redesign anything that is not a human, and when they do they give them the most horrific redesign. Like with the Will Smith Genie because what was that. When they first revealed him, I don’t know why that was the design they were going for but it was beautiful to see people freaking out over his nipples on the internet and scrambling to remove them. Same thing with the ugly dwarves from Snow White, and look at my boy Flounder from the Little Mermaid, that’s just a fish. Anyways, people are finally tired of these movies with the most recent remake Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Before it was even coming out it was getting digitally crucified because of the drama behind the main actress who said with full confidence that an 18 year old prince kissing a minor was outdated. Even for the main villain, the actress Gal Gadot was so bad as the Evil Queen I feel as though she is channeling her inner A.I chatbot. So when the movie underperformed in the box office, Disney delayed all future remakes and we all thought that it was over. Creativity would return. Until the Lilo and Stitch remake made 900 million dollars. Nice job us.
I don’t know why people are complaining about why Disney keeps pushing these out as if we are not the problem. Like why are we complaining about Toy Story 5 when we watched the last one and it made a billion dollars. Of course they’re doing it. They’re making bank. Anyways the only people that would even watch these types of movies are small children and middle aged moms who hate paying taxes and wish times were simpler. And sometimes it’s not even Disney though. The new live action How to Train Your Dragon movie made bank. But, I feel as though they didn’t change a single thing. I think that remake is just the original but with higher graphics. If I had to give these companies credit, I would say that remaking the movie is an ok idea. If you look up the cast for the original Snow White, it is going to look like an obituary. So retelling the story would be fine if they didn’t change it. In the animated ones you can tell some old guy was carefully and precisely making it look good for the time. As for the remakes, it feels like watching a play version at a school.
And sometimes they just flat out lie about it being live action. The Lion King remake didn’t have a single human in it and it’s considered live action. I think a requirement when making a live action reboot, you have to choose a movie with at least some humans in it otherwise it would be considered CGI. But they just say it’s live action just to make more money. But one thing I find funny about this is that Seth Rogan played Pumbaa in that movie so I’ll give them that for making me laugh for a solid 2 minutes. Now let’s talk about anime. Studios remake any popular anime and give it a budget of 10 million dollars, such as Full Metal Alchemist and Death Note. But some of the scenes in those movies don’t look as sick as in the anime. Moving on to Netflix, who does more butchering than a serial killer. Whenever Netflix remakes something, it usually looks a bit cooked. Like with the Live Action One Piece where the only difference from that and the anime is that you don’t have to sit through more than a thousand episodes. So yeah, that’s about it. That’s all I wanted to cover. I do have to say though that we are the problem for making some of these movies or shows successful.
