‘the main reason I made the last post actually comes from watching a few videos analyzing the business model of the Disney coorporation, and forming my own opinion on it in relation to the upcoming remakes of Aladdin, The Lion King , Mulan (in addition to Dumbo this year, and the slew of remakes or adaptations we got in previous years), and placing the ST in that context, and not liking where things are headed. I started wondering why we as a movie viewing audience are so uncritical of this Trojan Horse in our wallets feeding on our nostalgia? I like a good remake, or adaptation just like the next person, but should the underlying corporate strategy that drives this business model affect our enjoyment of them, especially when every dollar that gets spent on remakes, and adaptations isn’t spent on new content?’ - surely this is worthy or a new thread to discuss? rather than in here?

‘Let me end this post with the following question. Does the ST thusfar, and TLJ specifically fit within the Disney remake strategy: same meat, different gravy? If no, why not?’ what is the Disney remake strategy? In general, or for the ST? Again surely worthy of discussing in a new separate thread? (or a thread on these subjects, if one already exists?

Why not in here? It relates to TLJ, and the creative choices within. It affects the enjoyment of TLJ to some of us here, and we might want to express that point of view. What are you suggesting, that we should only discuss TLJ in a positive light in this thread? You do not like reading critical posts, and so we should make separate threads, such that you can avoid them, and stay in your echo chamber? No, thank you. If you have a more interesting perspective on TLJ (positive or negative), I will be happy to discuss it with you, or anybody else. Maybe that would be a better strategy in the future. Take the time to write your own analysis open to scrutiny (on content), rather than to criticize other people’s posts, and where they put them. You want to discuss positive aspects of TLJ, then write a post, and argue your case.
