WEIRDGIRL ZONE

even without the context of the original ending There is history of native/indigenous children being purposely/forcefully separated from their families cuz of colonization/imperialism

i know it's silly of me to be upset over a movie but like DISNEY HAS VERY BIG MONEY AND INFLUENCE, THEREFORE AN IMPACT ON CULTURE.

She supposedly was a college drop out in live action with no degree.

So they made her personally choose to lose custody...to move to California.

Even if they wanted to do the whole go to university route.

They could have had more potential by going to universities in hawaii and still raising sister as an ending.

And the change to jumba. From eccentric, flawed, hated and learning and growth.

To paper thin "villain wants to cause chaos for chaos sake and no extra motivations and growth" while adding a touch of potential added ableism reinforcement in some viewers

...adaptions should focus on what makes the originals good, expand. What made lacking, minimize. I'm not saying had to be a live action clone. I'm not even saying they couldn't have added plot points like go to uni...the Hawaii universities.

Now, I know what most of you are already thinking: “Not Lilo & Stitch again, Geeky!”

Look, I get it, I’m beating a dead horse with this “anti remake” stance, but I NEED to get this one off my chest.

These two posters here may look similar, but they each tell a completely different message.

Notice how the 2002 poster (left picture) shows Stitch gleefully sitting in the center of a blank white canvas, and a tagline above him that reads There’s one in every family? Top that off with various characters from past Disney films looking on in utter shock/confusion/disbelief.

Then there’s the 2025 poster for the live-action remake (right picture), which just shows Stitch hoarding all the Disney IPs like a greedy dragon would hoard a cave full of treasure.

What does this say about each film? Well, I’ll tell you:

The 2002 poster is basically saying: “Hey kids, remember all the wonderful characters from those other Disney movies that stuck with you? Well, check out this funky little dude! His name is Stitch! He’s a bit of an oddball, and a troublemaker, but you’re gonna love him once you see our latest movie this summer!”

Meanwhile, the 2025 poster’s like: “Hey, kids! Guess what? We own everything now, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Now give us your money and buy our new live-action Stitch merchandise!”

But last time I reblogged one ten/fifteen minutes later I got a call offering me a job

But I reblogged it because I was waiting on hearing back from the job. So there you go.
