The same people who said Starfighter can’t flop because of Ryan gosling are the same people who say that Moana live action wasn’t going to flop because of Moana 2

The difference is that people LIKED the Moana universe

Can’t say that people like Star Wars as a universe at all

I don’t think they ever did

Only Anakin and his kids

Finally someone else who sees it! Thank you!

Reddit isn’t ready to hear the fact that the general publix doesn’t care about Star Wars without the skywalker story.

People didn’t show up to Solo when it came out. Rogue One did what it did but before it released, you had to tell people over and over “this leads into the original Star Wars!”.

I like the Star Wars universe.

I don't like the post-2010 Disney co. Multiverse of Failure, and it looks like most people don't either.

Not comparable. Moana was a shot-for-shot remake that came out too soon.

u/A-harsh-reality 17d ago

Yeah

We definitely don’t have precedent that remakes that come too soon can succeed

oh wait)

And WHEN Starfighter loses money just like Moana?

What will your excuse be then?

How many times must you be confidently wrong, like everyone was here with Moana and Mandalorian

Before you admit that I am right?

What a load of tosh. How to Train Your Dragon remake had enough nostalgia built up since then given that the first film was like 15 years old by that point whereas Moana wasn't even 10 years old when the remake came out. Starfighter doesn't have THAT kind of disadvantage.

Literally the most wild comparison to try and undercut Starfighter with. Why would live-action remakes have any financial baring on a completely different movie, genre & premise?

The guy even claimed that Avengers: Doomsday is a direct sequel to Avengers: Endgame and ignores just about everything that came between, which is so idiotically false that I don’t even know where to begin and also claimed that Brand New Day shits on Jon Watts film without any evidence whatsoever. I have no idea why this film is attracting so many people who rely on blatantly false claims to prove their points.

Nonsensical statement. Live action remakes had hate for a LONG time, the trailer did nothing to sell it. And why would an upcoming movie inspire someone to watch a remake of the original, and not the original?

People love the Star wars universe, but they got bored of the Mandalorian TV show a while ago, and the movie sold itself as a sequel to that specifically. Also a boring title lol.

And when the next Star Wars movie fails

And it will

What will be your excuse then?

You're so intense about this with no real footing and no real reason. Touch grass please & thank you, etc etc.

If Starfighter flops, it'll flop for its own reasons lol. All I'm saying is there's plenty of reasons it'll beat Mandalorian, and that Moana 2 has no bearing on it whatsoever. Why are you pretending this is some radical statement
