Like I said before, I like Disney, and I will always like Disney. But I don't like their business practices. Is anybody else on this site sick and tired of Disney literally becoming a monopoly and buying everything? And the fact that it seems like Disney mishandles (and ruins, for the fans) just about almost every single franchise and brand they get their hands on? They're so incredibly greedy (haha made a pun but didn't intend to-said "incredibly" when "Mr. Incredible" is actually the name of a Disney character haha), and I'm really tired of it. And as much as I like the stuff Disney makes, for God's sake, I don't want literally everything I like to be Disney. I want variety in my entertainment choices. Too much Disney is so much of a normally good thing that it becomes a bad thing. This isn't really a rant. It's just asking if anyone else on this site is tired of all the things I've just mentioned when it comes to Disney. Like seriously-Disney-please stop. Stop buying everything. It looks like when it comes to handling and controlling these franchises you buy you don't know what you're doing. There's so many examples I can list-Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Ice Age (people seemed to really HATE "Adventures of Buck Wild"), Home Alone (didn't mind "Home Sweet Home Alone" but seems most fans didn't like it).....the list goes on and on. And sometimes even with your own franchises you mishandle them, too. Like, I don't hate Disney. But I really hate the dumb decisions they make sometimes. Nintendo does that too, but I think Disney is a LOT worse when it comes to that sort of thing. There are often times when I think to myself that maybe Disney CEO Bob Iger doesn't know what he's doing. I think I myself could do a better job. Heck, a monkey, even without a single business degree, could do a better job managing the company than him. Yeah I'm being overly sarcastic with that last line-but do I think I could do a better job as company CEO than him? Probably. Anyone could, in my opinion. That's....not a good thing. And it really seems like all these stupid business decisions are ruining the Walt Disney Company's reputation to the point some people just see it as a complete "joke". Disney's not all bad. But they make a lot of dumb mistakes, and when they do, it makes me cringe. And some people (including fans) when they see that don't just cringe like I do, they get angry. I can understand that. Personally I don't let myself get angry though; the only ones it's hurting is Disney, and their reputation, as well as upsetting their fans. That's just plain bad all the way around. Disney like everyone wants to make money, but I think decisions like that are making them LOSE money instead.
Since this forum is for mario stuff I should definitely drop my backloggd, which I'm using to track my journey through playing every mario game to date... it's been something mostly between me and my friends thus far but if anyone is interested in watching me check games off the list & give my brief thoughts on them, here you go. (right now I'm on Super Mario RPG for the SNES)

The expression "right you are!" is a rare example of Yoda style sentence construction that actually saw real life use entirely unconnected from Star Wars.
Before the invention of the camera, no human could have seen how they looked like with their eyes shut. The best you could get was to look at a reflective surface, close one eye, then the other eye, and then transpose the two images mentally.
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Although not for it, I just uploaded my first level of my new era (I guess) in SMM2 that being a spin jump kaizo level. The code's K51-G60-PQG if you'd like to play it and leave me feedback :]
