When Morbius said "It's Tronning Time!" and Tronned all over the place I cried truly a cinematic masterpiece
Modern Disney ruins everything
I think Disney have solved the problem of pirating films, by making films that are not worth even pirating.
“Sam Flynn left the company for personal reasons.” Also, “somehow Palpatine came back” - because, you know - reasons. 😅
It's sad. Another franchise destroyed due to bad storytelling and lack of talent in key places of production.
Disney on a mission to ruin as many franchises as possible
I dont understand how Disney shareholders are okay with the constant movie burning
Tron was killed collecting Peruvian spiders in the Amazon jungle😮😢
On a lighter note. Disney raised their park prices again.
Man, Lilo and Stitch already had a simple story, they didn't need to dumb it down so much.
