Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

one is a major marvel/disney animated franchise with all of disney's marketing power behind it and the other isn't. it's an apples and oranges case.

plus BH6 was also a racially diverse cast, with characters that were previously uniracial changed so that more faces could be represented, so isn't its success more proof that that this shit matters and works?

also, "Annie was a good movie but it's basically this decade's Avatar, in a few years you won't be able to name more then two actors/actresses in it and maybe a line or two." this is not a comparison you want to make with a film that was just another production of a classic and beloved musical. People are gonna remember the lines, songs, and who was in it, regardless of its success.

fact is, it was successful. it was not as successful as major hollywood blockbusters but it was never going to be and was never intended to be. even in the golden age of hollywood, musicals were not making the kind of money our modern blockbusters do.

you're using the absolute highest standard of success as the only standard and using it to justify completely backwards reactionary bullshit. plebcomics has a clear politica agenda, so does everyone who is trying to sell this idea that Annie was a failure/flop. It doesn't take into account what is actually considered a success in the film world, it's just using the fact it wasn't as popular as the MOST popular films of its time as an excuse to point and say "SEE? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RACEBEND TO APPEASE THE PC CROWD". and you're buying into it.

Except Disney and marvel had no hope of BH6 being sucessful and set the bar pretty low.

Otherwise they would of advertise it as Marvel

this is the saddest more recent example of grasping at straws I've seen

like you literally had to pick one point, and you couldn't even form a good argument about it. you are saying that because marvel's name wasn't in the advertising (it was), must prove Disney had no faith in its success. right.

I am definitely sure all those toys, tie-in promotions, and other stuff disney used to market the film, all of which had to have been designed and ordered before release, were definitely made with the expectation of the movie to fail.
