According to ‘Lightyear’ director, it’s low rating is due to internet trolls

He said that he “doesn’t get the outrage” and that life is too short to be upset about a science-fiction movie when there are only a couple released each year.
“I don’t get it, but whatever. Folks seem pretty steamed about the film. We only get 1-2 big science fiction movies a year. The supply is too low to get too upset about them. Life is too short.”
Another user who saw the film said they didn’t understand why the film was rated so lowly. MacLane responded by saying “it mainly has to do with trolls.
“Short answer: much like the second chapter of THE HOBBIT, it mainly has to do with trolls”
In another Tweet, MacLane took a dig at those who may be giving poor ratings to Lightyear without seeing the film.
“Just had a look at the numbers. The ratings for LIGHTYEAR are *significantly* higher from people who have seen the film, than from people who have not”

This is par for the course for this crowd of people. They don't believe they did anything wrong. In their minds its insane to even suggest they did anything objectionable. They can't even acknowledge there are people who might object to what they did because to them if you don't align with their values it makes you sub-human.

What are they going to say when Thor doesn't hit its expectations, either?

Yeah, most popular animated character created in the past 30 years lost because of trolls. Meanwhile trolls are going in for the Minions movie. Makes perfect sense.

Damn, Breitbart let them have it in this article.
So the child groomers at the Walt Disney Company decided to gay up the Toy Story franchise, and it not only laid an egg here in America, it bombed all over the world.
Gee, what a shock.
The experts who watch the box office said Lightyear would gross $70 to $85 million domestic and do another $50 to $60 million offshore for a worldwide opening of $135 million. Instead, the gayed-up Toy Story origin story crash-landed with a $51 million domestic opening and only an additional $34 million offshore, for a pathetic $85.6 million worldwide haul.
In other words, Lightyear’s worldwide haul equaled what was supposed to be its domestic haul, and that whachoocall a bigtime flopperoo.
Lightyear reportedly cost $200 million to produce, and you know the predators at Disney must have spent at least another $100 million for worldwide promotion. That’s a $300 million price tag, which means Lightyear will have to gross around $550 to $650 million worldwide just to break even, which seems pretty unlikely.
Do you have any idea how insane and out-of-touch Disney must be to invest $300 million in a movie that includes homosexuality? And not just any kind of movie—a kiddie movie. And not just any kind of kiddie movie, a Toy Story movie!
It’s one thing for the child groomers at Disney to push for gay porn to be allowed in grade schools. That’s no skin off Disney’s bottom line, and they still get what they want, which is young children groomed into sexual playthings they can manipulate and abuse. It is another thing altogether, though, to stick this kind of inappropriate material into a $300 million investment.
Listen, I’m sorry, I know we are not supposed to say this out loud, but I’m going to say it anyway… Other than homosexuals, no one wants to watch any kind of sexual intimacy between same-sex couples. We just don’t. Why? Because — if you’ll pardon the expression — we were born this way. It’s how we’re wired. No one goes to the movies to be made uncomfortable, and parents don’t take their kids to the movies — most especially a Disney movie — to expose them to human sexuality before they are ready.
As I’ve said a million times before, there is nothing wrong with Hollywood making movies for homosexuals. Hollywood should make movies for everyone. What will never sell is mainstreaming homosexuality. There are two reasons for this: 1) it makes 90 percent of the population uncomfortable, and 2) every time it pops up in a movie or TV show it comes off like a lecture instead of a natural part of the story. No one likes a lecture. It makes us roll our eyes. It breaks the storytelling spell. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. It ruins the whole experience.
My attitude towards how other people live their lives is utter indifference. I don’t care how you live your life. I don’t care how anyone lives their life. You want to have orgies and worship Satan and smoke meth—I don’t care. Just don’t do it on my porch and don’t call me a bigot because I don’t want to watch.
As much as the woketards want to, they cannot rewire human nature.
Human nature is human nature.
Most Americans, including myself, have no problem “tolerating” all of these alternative lifestyles. Live and let live. Consenting adults and all that. What we’ll never do is “accept” or “celebrate” this stuff.
And you can’t make us watch it.

I am partial to the lesbian sex scene in Mulholland Drive. But then again David Lynch would be a poor choice for Disney.
Hell, let's put him in the suggestion box. It would result in creative and interesting material

I love a good animated film probably more than most people. But was anyone considering this to be a “big” science fiction movie?!
Posted on 7/8/22 at 10:43 pm to ell_13
I took my kid to see the movie. Couldn’t have cared less about whatever kissing was in the movie.
What bothered me was how boring it was. My kid can’t get enough of animated tv shows and movies and was incredibly bored in this one. He loved Minions 2.

I mean, I guess I get a human being's reluctance to say, "I made a shitty movie," but even then I would probably say something like, "I made the best movie I could, and I'm sorry it wasn't to everyone's liking" or "We set out to make a movie everyone loved, and while I'm sure some do we clearly didn't reach the goals we set for ourselves."
Seems like no matter what fence you sit on, folks rather blame others for failure than accept responsibility themselves.

I do think it's pretty absurd to think the movie flopped entirely on a single same-sex kiss. While it didn't do the movie any favors, it seems like the fact that the movie was boring and had a convoluted plot was much more detrimental to its success.
That would be akin to saying that The Last Jedi isn't a good movie because of the Leia Poppins scene, and disregarding all the other mediocrity in the movie.

They can just go ahead and use these comments to write the same article about Strange World, Disney’s next animated film which will have the “first gay teen romance in an animated feature film.” It’s going to tank even worse than Lightyear.
