Not every show needs to have a deep plot.

Sometimes, people just want episodic cartoons and fun where they can drop in every week and catch up with it in minutes and enjoy themselves. You know, like the old cartoons that have lasted the test of time because they are so universal and easy to get into.

Not everything needs to be a deep study of fhe human psychy and endless trauma. That's okay from time to time, but not always. If we want the animation industry to get back up, especially with kids, we need to go back to simplicity and fun.

Death of Hollywood.

You won’t be missed.

Stories used to be escape. Now they’re sermons. You pay to be insulted.

It starts with the casting.
Casting used to fit the character. Now it fits a quota.

Cleopatra. Snape. Helen of Troy. And now Achilles. Can’t even.

More effort goes into the race swap and the gender swap than into the story.

Oh and screw the Greeks I guess.

Thousands of cultures and thousands of years of human story treated like raw material for one narrow worldview, defined from one ivory tower in LA.

Even the stories themselves are gone.

Every blockbuster is a remake of a remake. IP recycled until the corpse stops twitching.

Same trauma backstory. Same girlboss arc. Same bumbling boyfriend.

Make sure while going into the quantum realm as ant-man you discuss the rent affordability crisis and how billionaires are evil. Like wtf.

Indie films starve. Originality starves. The same six studios feed you the same six stories.

Try to laugh at any of it and you get fired.

Comedy died the day cancel culture was born. You can’t laugh anymore. Someone somewhere is crying. And it’s your fault.

The funniest people in America haven’t been let in a writers room in a decade.

And the ones still inside? They think they earned a pedestal.

They didn’t. They got hired. Now they lecture you from it in $80,000 dresses about wealth inequality.

Peter Dinklage built his career as Tyrion. Then he shamed Disney into deleting the dwarves from Snow White. The movie lost $115 million. Dwarves are fine when they pay him.

Then they hand each other awards for it.

Best Picture eligibility now requires a diversity checklist. Story comes second.

They give each other gold statues for movies nobody watched.

Studio heads say men have to be retrained to like their movies. You can’t force people to eat shit.

Movies are escapes. Emotions. Other worlds.

If I wanted to be miserable, I’d have just watched CNN or looked at my bank account after taxes.

Entertain us or sit down.

I am done with Star Wars. 

That is a sentence I never thought I would say.

If you know me in real life, or have me on social media, you know that since a child I have been obsessed with the franchise. 

I would bond with my Dad watching the six movies on Friday nights, over and over.

I watched The Clone Wars while eating cereal every morning before school. 

I dressed up as Jar Jar Binks four halloweens in a row. 

I still stayed up until dawn waiting for the new Episodes of the new Maul: Shadow Lord to drop.

That all ends today. 

It's no secret that Disney is a left-leaning network. I mean, one of their most recent releases for Star Wars featured what can best be described as Communist Lesbian Space witches. 

And don’t get me started on the girlboss-obsessed Sequel trilogy, and the transgender clone trooper…

I could go on forever.

Anyway, these inserts of progressive ideology into Star Wars have been huge blows to me as a fan, but not enough of one to make me abandon being a fan entirely.

I truly believe that the Conservatives were retaking culture (before imploding on themselves over Israel), and like Target and Bud Light, Disney would eventually go back to honoring George Lucas’ vision of story telling like they promised they would when he signed the contract.

However, yesterday the line was finally crossed.

Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke Skywalker, posted on X calling for the death of the President. And if you recall, this comes just weeks after a gunman tried to murder him at the WH correspondent's dinner. 

In an age where violence and assassinations of Conservatives is all too common, an influential actor posting something so reckless to the masses is unacceptable. 

Disney fired Gina Carano for drawing a comparison between how the Left in our country was encouraging people to hate their neighbors who differed politically, and how the Nazis did the same to Germans getting them to hate their Jewish neighbors. 

If they fired her for a fair historical comparison, they sure as hell can at least release a statement about Mark and bar him from future Star Wars events. 

He may think he is Luke Skywalker off of Camera, but he is not. Luke fought for the rebellion, which sought to reestablish the democracy of the Republic.

He may think Trump is Palpatine, but Trump didn’t use corruption to get elected. He won both the electoral vote and the popular vote. Democracy in its most basic form. 

What Mark is doing goes against Democracy. Maybe he should take a word of advice from the Jedi that trained him and reflect.

I'm not concerned about UFO stuff. Whatever happens in the future regarding aliens is either demons or government puppeteering. Aliens aren't real.

A message to Hollywood and the narrative media.

Merely race or gender swapping established characters is not innovative or imaginative.

It is an exercise in politics, not art.

It is proof of creative bankruptcy, which will lead to financial bankruptcy.

Disney employed 2,200 animators who made Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Tarzan. By 2013, nearly all of them were gone. Fired. The people who built Disney’s legacy were shown the door because executives thought the problem was 2D animation. It wasn’t. It was bad storytelling.

[Rob Schneider 🇺🇸 @RobSchneider]

For the people who did NOT READ MY ENTIRE POST AND ARE JUST RESPONDING to the HEADLINES…
You are MISSING THE POINT.

A military with EVERY SEGMENT OF SOCIETY REPRESENTED would make the DEPLOYMENT of TROOPS and foreign wars LESS likely as there would be MORE accountability at the highest levels of power.

Right now, the all-volunteer force means the sons and daughters of politicians, billionaires, Hollywood elites, and the ruling class are almost never the ones in uniform. That makes it far too easy for elected officials to vote for endless foreign adventures — they suffer no personal cost.

When every family — rich or poor, red or blue, from every race, creed, and zip code — has skin in the game, things change dramatically.

Congress would think long and hard before sending American troops into another faraway war that isn’t vital to our national survival. No more cavalier decisions. No more “other people’s kids” dying while their own kids stay safe at Ivy League schools or in Beverly Hills.

That’s not pro-war.
That’s anti-reckless-war.

It’s the same reason universal service in places like Israel and Switzerland hasn’t turned them into warmongers — it forces leaders to feel the real human cost before they pull the trigger.

Read the whole post. The goal is unity, strength, and responsibility — not endless conflict.

We want a military that truly reflects America… so America stops treating its military like disposable chess pieces.

God bless the United States of America.

Love,
Rob Schneider

@Fenrirtheicewo1 I’m a Brony and I would never do this.

[Janet Murray @jan_murray]

I didn’t really get the problem with gender ideology at first.

I’m liberal-minded about most things. 'Live and let' live has generally been my motto. I believed inclusion mattered. I believed in being kind. In not using language that might upset people unnecessarily.

I knew people who identified as transgender. I knew some adults chose medical treatments or surgery to resemble the opposite sex. That seemed to me a matter of personal autonomy. Adults can do what they wish with their own bodies.

What I hadn’t realised - and I feel slightly embarrassed admitting this - was that I’d misunderstood what was being claimed.

I thought “transgender” meant a form of self-expression. A man who liked wearing women’s clothes. Someone changing their name. Gender non-conformity.

What I hadn’t grasped was that some activists weren’t just asking for tolerance. They were asserting that declaring yourself the opposite sex made you the opposite sex. Not metaphorically. Literally.

And that this wasn’t just cultural. It had legal consequences.

- It meant men who said they were women were demanding access to women’s sports, prisons, domestic violence shelters and hospital wards

- It meant the rewriting of healthcare language - “pregnant people”, “bodies with cervixes” - to avoid saying “women”

- It meant children struggling with identity being affirmed onto medical pathways with lifelong implications

And also redefining same-sex attraction. Lesbians called 'bigoted' for not wanting relationships with men who identify as women. Gay men accused of prejudice for saying they're not attracted to female bodies. None of which made any sense.

But I'd also overlooked how far this had travelled - into HR policies, professional bodies, schools, political parties and public institutions.

And how easily disagreement was framed as cruelty. Speaking up felt risky - because others were being publicly humiliated for doing so.

None of this is abstract.

Because sex is the basis on which safeguarding works. On which data is collected. On which cancer screening programmes run. On which fair sport and single-sex spaces depend. It’s written into law - including the Equality Act - because material differences matter.

If sex becomes a 'feeling' rather than a biological category, those protections become unstable.

And once reality becomes negotiable, everything does.

Once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it.
But I needed to be sure.

So I read. Books, research papers, policy documents. When I finally spoke publicly, there was backlash from all directions.

Many women thanked me - both quietly and publicly.
But some feminists criticised me for speaking too late.

Others were angry about a past interview I’d done with the parent of a transgender person, accusing me of promoting harm.

It takes courage to change your mind publicly.

It takes courage to speak when you know your reputation, friendships or livelihood may be on the line - when you know raising your voice could strain, or even end, relationships you value.

Once I understood what was at stake, staying silent was no longer an option. I lost my livelihood simply for saying I didn’t like the phrase “pregnant people”. That alone tells you something is deeply wrong. It shouldn’t be this way.

I will never judge any woman for when she finds her voice.

Because every voice adds value - whenever it is raised.

And I know how persuasive this ideology can be. I know how easily it bypassed me. And I know how much courage it takes to admit, publicly, that you got something wrong.

[WorldinGreyInk - The Art of Being Jacob Seavello🌫 @WorldinGreyInk]

Not really, because it's always about character vs. visual.

If you need to see yourself in a character to feel represented it means you are incapable of finding commonality with behavioral traits.

It's why a massive chunk of men of all races and creeds align with characters like Superman or Goku. Because they embody 'representation'.

[Eldritch Brick - BE NOT AFRAID @FuckKoroks]

One underdiscussed element about the decline of film is the complete death of character actors.

There is no Steve Buscemi, Lance Reddick, or Patrick Fischler of the current generation.

For those who don't know what that is, it's an actor who plays notable supporting roles.

They usually had more acting range than your typical protagonist actors, and a couple of decades ago you'd instantly recognize them in most movies.

Have a gander at Buscemi's filmography, he's played everything from serial killers to comedic relief. He could do it all and then some.

Just another instance of how Hollywood just doesn't know how to make movies anymore.

Western animation already lost the cultural zeitgeist and kids now are growing up online on YouTube, Tiktok and social media. All this entails is that kids will be looking towards A.I./political circles for entertainment and engagement all because modern cartoons failed them
