Morgan Freeman Voice narrating over:

“Later, Greyah would admit this is the point when they should have let the Lion King thing die, as it was the beginning of a long opus of tragedy and horror that couldn’t be killed through normal thread derailing methodology. It was, simply, what most people on the WrA Forums liked to refer to as, a ‘bad move’.”

I don’t think so. At this point, others bring it up more than I do. So who’s really to blame, Karmas?

I don’t like the direction this inquiry is going.

I get stopped all the time. I’ll be daily questing in Uldum and someone will say in general: “look! It’s lion king orc! Hahaha! Say it, do it come on!” The chorus of echoes of the sentiment continues. As if the humming drone of aqir are singing “say it, do it, say it!” Until I appease them. With one simple phrase:

”Have you seen the Lion King?”

They erupt in applause. But I am not proud. I do not feel joy. I am empty inside…

You almost had me but for two things:

  • You are probably the only one in Uldum.

  • No one that plays the game reads the forums!

  • Extra reason with extra meaningful context – it probably even has charts(placeholder)

Believe what you will, but taking my experience and making it something it isn’t or making isn’t what it is is gaslighting.

Several films are on the docket for remakes and in varying steps of production. I’d like to see Treasure Planet remade tho

In middle school I made sure I memorized Be Prepared and almost thought of making Gotosh’s voice close to Mufasa’s. But i went back on that… Gotosh’s voice is hard to reference.

NO.

What is wrong with you?!

Did you not see the last few remakes? Why would you wish such horror on Treasure Planet? It’s perfect the way it is! Leave my baby alone!

While I certainly understand the hesitation of remaking Disney movies because they’re bad, I don’t understand the staunch opposition to them. They don’t take away anything from the original animated films and if anything help to world build and give characters more depth even if it’s not exactly what you had imagined.

I’mma be real witchu Orcmama,

I have never seen a Disney remake and been like, “Yeah we needed this, this helps expand upon the characters, this was a good idea”.

I guess that’s where differing opinions come into play. If your opinion is that they’re bad and unnecessary could you just ignore it and not watch them instead of taking it away from someone who might genuinely enjoy and find value in them? It is harmless to let people enjoy things and ignore them if you do not.

While I don’t disagree with that point, I would like to address the fact that a remake undoubtedly will distort the original if a person was, perhaps, too young to watch the original when it came out, and only came to know the remake.

I’ll also say that this can be good or bad - the animated Lord of the Rings movies, for example, while excellent pieces of animation, were ultimately terrible adaptations. The franchise most people know, however, is a masterpiece of cinema that helped outsiders understand the legacy of one of the greatest fantasy authors of all time.

But I mean, if it’s a bad remake, then it would work the opposite. Like, Ghostbusters 2016. I know some Gen Z adults that don’t have a lick of interest in the original 'cuz they didn’t like the remake.
