but there's no trademark infringement I believe

like there is for copyright infringement

if someone uses it they just sue don't they?
I know trademarks do have a higher expectation of defence on the owner's part

I go apeshit for cape shit.

so you can use the Superman S in stuff without getting sued, so I think you can use the name and visage of "mickey mouse" in your own art but not as it pertains to the disney logo

disney logo doesn't have mickey mouse in it anyway, its the castle with tinkerbell flying in an arc over it

I think Mickey's name is trademarked

so in theory you could remake Steamboat willy but not call the character Mickey I guess

yeah or the inverse

although I don't think he even goes by Mickey in that short

eh, I'm not an entertainment lawyer

I'm not saying they can't make good movies by making MANY movies, but I can certainly see where the industry is going. Is Star Wars 'good' right now? Did them pumping out those movies fair well? What does it look like for the future of the MCU? The casting of Ariel, etc etc etc

a bit soon to call it for the MCU phase 4, they're coming off the backs of some massive wins

maybe they can do what the comics couldn't and make the all new all different stuff work

I wasn't calling you out @RuRu I was just speaking in general, I like you

nono, you're fine. Just sayin

hopefully they will still keep using the Russos going forward
if Disney were smart they'd put them on Captain Marvel 2 assuming that it's still going to be a thing

It's perfectly fine to hold out optimism for good films. I'm far less so with Disney. They're too deep into pandering, and far to risk adverse to take any real chances on new stories

the Russos said they were moving on to other non-disney projects

we'll see I guess, Disney are sure to throw around some crazy money for them in the future

tangentially related, I can't think of the last time I was excited for a movie or show. video game yes, everything else no.

So about what I wrote earlier: Petra Kelly was a prominent Green Party politician who was involved in the founding of the green party and protests against the stationing of nuclear weapons in Germany. She was later shot by her boyfriend Gert Bastian a former green party politician who was involved in the same causes as her. (Protest against nuclear weapons in Germany or the peace movement). He commited suicide after killing her before Stasi files could reveal his role as an east German spy.

He was also a member of Generals for peace, a group of nato generals involved in the peace movement who were getting money from the Stasi. That peacemovement which opposed american missiles in Germany was not only supported by east Germany, but was the movement which later gave rise to the greens.

Disney has never genuinely made any of their own original content. It's all old Grimm fairy tales or legends they adapted and Disney-fide. Now they're just acquiring other franchises cause they can't seem to pull anything out of their asses. The only time they every looked original was with Pixar, and now with Pixar taking all their marching orders from Disney, Pixar is mostly unnecessary sequels

spot on, Artsy Man.

lol thanks

do you have suggestions for movies/shows that are unaffected leftist shit?

Also, curious to know if anyone is actually excited for Avatar 2? Or 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7
I think James Cameron waited WAY too long and the hype train is gone

anime mostly

I hated Avatar

still do

Yeah anime

i knew that was coming

i dont like anime, i can't bring myself to like anime

john wayne movies

except Miyazaki

I don't even watch anime anymore, but it seems to be the only genre unaffected

although there's not a whole lot that's got me interested there at the moment

it's mostly waiting on season 3 of Konosuba and the movie and Boku no Hero Academia

but it depends on taste I guess

Anime still has macho men and sexy girls
