How do sci fi series involving time travel scam anyone out of their hard earned money?
I expect better next time.

[Gendo's Ocular Dickhole]

Won't be enough to bring them down, but good to know at least some normies are standing up (for now).

[Le Redditeur]

Yeah, until the release of Doctor Strange in the Capeshit Multiverse: The Quest For Trans Children Rights, which still will make billions and attract capeshitters in droves to watch their garbage, all while Benedict Cucumberface molests dozen of young boys- I mean, educate them about their transgender identity.

Concerned parents will maybe boycott Disney for a little bit, until they release a new Frozen cartoon with a slightly toned down woke message ("the higher-ups said we need to cut down the 'Elsa finds out xir is trans' scene, and keep the Minor Attracted Person positive stuff to a bare minimum!"), people like the guy in the video will claim victory over le ass jay dublya armies, and money and degeneracy will flow as usual from the House of Mouse.

There is no hope for the bugmen.

I'd say a Frozen 3 is likely since that franchise is the only in-house cartoon of theirs that people actually give a toss about.
But I don't see them being in any sort of dire straits. The Mouse has gobbled up too many IPs and studios to fall, even if it doesn't make any kind of good use of them.

Been on a wuxia kick, my favorite is definitely A Touch of Zen - but I also really liked Ashes of Time, the Wong Kar Wai movie from the 90s - plot is a little floaty, but the thing is just a fuckin vibe.
Also seen a lot of Kobayashi recently and I think I like him slightly more than Kurosawa now.

I don't think normalfags are aware of Hollywood degeneracy at all and if they did they wouldn't care. They never knew the casting couch existed until 2017.

What will bring Disney down isn't economics but rather pissing off the wrong politicians. Disney owes a lot of its power to sweetheart deals from the US Government, like for example copyright extensions when the earliest Disney cartoons should have fallen into the public domain ages ago.

This is why corporations, once upon a time, just tried to sell you stuff and didn't get involved too deeply in political issues.

Hara-kiri is a better movie than most of Kurosawa's work. I'm not a huge Kobayashi buff, but I saw Samurai Rebellion and Harakiri. Both were fantastic. I think Kobayashi comes across as more radically humanitarian, and more willing to challenge traditional views of the past. Not that Kurosawa never does those things, but (for example) even when he depicts people reaching across class boundaries in order to connect, such as in Seven Samurai with Katsushiro and the peasant girl, he reaffirms the separating power of class at the end of the film. Katsushiro doesn't end up with the girl. Because he's still a samurai and she's still just a peasant. The samurai team up with the villagers, and both fight and die together. But then the samurai leave, forever distant from the villagers after all.

Kobayashi's Hara-kiri spends a lot more time on the inhumanity of the samurai code, and how these rigid moral structures left well-meaning, honest people completely fucked over. To the point that they would beg to be allowed to commit suicide in a samurai house. Perhaps because they genuinely wanted to die, or perhaps because this was the only form of "begging" which was socially acceptable, and might be rewarded with the little money or employment they needed to continue living.

If you like Kobayashi's work, you should definitely watch Kanedo Shindo's Onibaba and Kuroneko. Kuroneko is one of my favorite films. Shindo's films are more horror than samurai, but they are period pieces. Another excellent one is Ugetsu Monogatari. I forget who made that one, however. Another very famous director. Tokyo Story is also required viewing for anyone interested in a more contemporary setting. Tokyo Story is a drama about inter-generational families. Still very relevant today. It's also a capsule criticism of what was then the "modern" japanese society. A materialistic, get-ahead world where values like filial piety were going away.

So some SJW retard decided to pull a Will Smith and tackled Chapelle on stage. I guess comedians fears were justified.

EDIT: He apparently had a firearm.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

They should just make a YT channel like all the cool kids.
