As a Disney fan, I would like to express my feelings about their recent actions.
First of all, I'm a huge Disney fan, I've always loved their movies and I always will.
When I say huge I mean it, I have a lot of Disney shirts, a lightsaber, and tons of Marvel merchandise. I'm 18 years old and I went with my friends to the cinema to watch Wreck-It Ralph 2, Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4.
It was my last year in high school and all I did was to write quotes from the MCU. Since the rumors about Endgame's trailer started, the Avengers ever the only thing I could've think about. When me and my BFF watched Avengers: Endgame, I cryed more then I've ever cryed in my entire life, I almost passed out (I'm not kidding), and after Tony died I was DEAD for weeks.
I hope you got convinced now that I'm an actuall Disney fan and not just someone who want to criticise them for no reason.
I really want the best for the fans, and thats why I have to write this post.
First of all, lets talk about what happened yesterday: Disney and Sony didn't renewed Spider-man's deal, so Spidey will no longer be a part of the MCU.
When I read about it I literally cried, and I was so furious about Sony like all the other fans, but it was actually Disney's fault.
The last deal was that Sony will gain the profits from Spider-man's movies in exchange for Disney help to produce the movies and being able to use Spidey's character in other MCU movies.
The deal was over after Spider-man: Far From Home released and Disney wanted to renew it, but after they saw the records that Far From Home broke, they had different terms.
Disney stipulated to Sony that they wanted to split future Spider-Man movies in a 50/50 cofinancing arrangement, which also meant a 50/50 split in the profits but Sony rejected the offer, and I'm totally get it.
Which bring us to this point: All Disney care about is money.
They're taking over EVERYTHING. They own Pixar, ACB, Lucasfilm, Marvel and now 20th Century Fox, they're basicly ruling the world right now. And we haven't talked about Disney plus yet.
Any deal would've been good for Disney, so why offer a deal that the Sony will definitely lose from?
What about the fans?
Spidey was supposed to be the new face of the MCU, he has so many fans that love him.
To tear up Spidey from the MCU is a devastating step- Sony won't be able to mention Spider-man's past because of Disney, which will definitely impact on the movie's quality.
Disney couldn't offer a better deal? As I saied, any deal will be good for their profits, so why not compromise a bit? They've earned billions this year thanks to their movies, the fans are always there, so why this time they can't be there for us?
Also, those Live Actions.
It's pretty obvious that Disney run out off ideas, they make 3 Live Action movies in a year. Those movies' qualitie is not even close to comeper to the original animated movies.
Most of us grew on this animated movies, and those "Live Actions" just ruining the message and magic that the original movies had.
Disney obviously make this movies for their own profits, Aladdin and The Lion King already passed 1 billion and broke records.
But you know what the most awefull part in all this? I went to the cinema to watch them just as you did.
Disney plus is the ultimate weapon.
Disney are about to launch their new straming servise, "Disney plus" in November, and this is the "ultimate weapon" that will make any Marvel and Star Wars fan to buy it.
Disney's marketing method is brilliant, the new Marvel TV shows, such as WandaVision, will conect diractly to the MCU, which means that if you won't watch them, there will be "missing pices" in the movies.
"Thanks" to that, every Marvel fan, such as me, would have to buy Disney plus.
Disney has a full control on me, just like they have on you.
I go to their movies, buy their merchandise, and mostly think about Marvel all day.
I fell to this trap like everyone, I have no problem to admit it, and I'm sure I'll keep be obesessed with them in the future, I'm their hostage, I need them, all I ask for is a little bit compromise for the fans.
Without us Disney couldn't have become the ruler of the entertainment industry, and I feel like they don't really care, that our only purpose is to give them money, after all, we always fulfill their expectations. There are millions of fans that will go anywhere with Disney.
Maybe it seems that I'm the only one here whoes crazy about Disney, but there are so many people just like me, Disney gave us a place where we can feel at home, they gave us hope in our hard times and characters to be identified with.
So what's my point here?
I don't expect from Disney to change anything, their methods work great, we pay them billion and they can do whatever they want.
The only thing I ask for is a little bit appreciation to the fans, I feel exploited by this "super corporation" and I think they can try a little bit harder to make the fans happy and not only the holders of shares.
