Anyone watch X-Men 97 here?
No spoilers… but that bird demon is legit nightmare fuel. If you have an aversion to big eyes and human-like animals that twist and scowl … I’d fast forward through some parts.

The Disney proxy fight's activist investor annoyed at Marvel films starring Black people reminds me that Marvel's most successful characters created in the past decade or so aren't white: Miles Morales, Kamala Khan, and Lunella Lafayette.
The first one 's film won an Oscar. The latter two ironically are the only successful remnants of the Perlmutter era Inhumans push (ignoring Kamala rebooted as a mutant/Lunella's TV version an ordinary human).
3 years ago I paid $6.99/month for Disney+, tax included. They offered an annual subscription for $69.99, so I switched to that.
2 years ago it increased to $79.99 plus tax, or $86.39.
Last year it increased to $109.99 plus tax, or $119.34.
This year it increased to $139.99 plus tax, or $151.89.
In the span of 3 years the cost has MORE THAN DOUBLED. Conveniently, they now offer an $7.99/mo plan—with ads. Disney knows they can make more off of you by selling ads.

#TikTok is a "national security" threat because #USGov cannot compel them into spying on you and me, the way #Google #Facebook #Twitter #Tesla #Apple #Verizon #TMobile #ATT #Uber #Paypal #Disney #Palantir and all the companies controlled by the #techbros oligarchy do.
all techbro companies are para-military agencies. techbros are one mustache away from Springtime for Hitler; gleefully spying on you & me for the #ACAB state.
wanna ban TikTok? criminalize #surveillanceCapitalism.

"Capitalism has lost its right to existence and the ruling elite its “right” to rule. When #Disney CEO #BobIger, who received more than $200 million in compensation over the past five years, denounces striking actors and writers for having “a level of expectation … that is just not realistic,” the comparisons with #LouisXVI and the French...
What I like with some translators of #Viu and #Netflix (not #Disney, I haven't seen one yet) is they're starting to transliterate Korean names based on “Revised Romanization” or “RR”.

I am watching the new #Disney movie The little mermaid. I am really enjoying how they used factually accurate (And in some cases not very well known) sea creatures. They also put a lot of attention into making their movements more or less accurate as well.
I was particularly excited to see the feather stars.
That said they arent region appropriate, I dont think I recall ever seeing a feather star in the Caribbean. I can let it slide :)
#Thanks to the folks over at MovieWeb, I was able to #interview #PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians cinematographer Pierre Gill and ask him all about numerous scenes he worked on, the state of the art volume soundstage as well as his own #Disney inspirations.

[Nouvelle BD] Mickey dans le domaine public
On ne pensait jamais voir ce jour arriver… et pourtant, on y est. Pourtant, est-ce que Mickey est *vraiment* dans le domaine public ?
#DisneyPlus is supposed to be the best way to watch certain content, but it’s really not, especially if you use a variety of devices.
An example is, I’m watching #Daredevil for the first time ahead of #Echo S01. So far I’ve watched it across three different devices: a modern #RokuPremeire on a #4K #TV, an older #Roku on a 1080p #TV, and my main #Windows10 computer.
This show is supposed to be in #4K, with #HDR and #DolbyVision, yet it only appears in full quality on the #4K #TV. Even on my PC I’m getting this dishearteningly grainy and compressed image.
Unfortunately neither #Netflix nor #Disney made #4K #BluRay discs for any of the seasons, but I’m starting to think that a #BluRay would be a better way to watch this show than #DisneyPlus, despite the fact that it technically has the show in #4K.
Happy New Year! For all you #Disney fans out there, to celebrate #SteamboatWillie entering the #PublicDomain, I created this wall art with #GIMP and #Fusion360. Download it now on #Printables! https://www.printables.com/model/701756-steamboat-willie-wall-art
By the way, don't be confused between #Copyright and #Trademark. These two are totally different.
Let's use Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
While the earliest versions of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse are now in the #PublicDomain it does not mean you can freely create and sell your own merchandise with them on it. That falls under Trademark.
Copyright covers works of art like the character, the stories, literary works, music. In the Mickey and Minnie Mouse case, the images and stories, and the character art itself, are now in the Public Domain.
However, using these characters as in a merchandise like mugs and t-shirts is not under Copyright, it is under Trademark. Disney still holds the Trademark rights for these characters.
You can draw Mickey and Minnie. You can create new stories for them. Not only that, but you can write a new literary work, say a novel or a children's book or a film, based on the earliest versions of these characters. Just not anything that falls under Trademark.
If you are going to do something that you think might fall under Trademark law, the best course of action is to ask #Disney. If they say it doesn't fall under Trademark law, then keep that reply, as it is your proof they gave you permission. Otherwise, try to negotiate if you really need it.
So, again, Copyright (and in this case Public Domain) is totally different from Trademark. Many countries choose to call these two as #IntellectualPropertyRights. While it is correct (and confusing), they are different and there is no overlap between them. They have completely separate uses/coverage.
#IANAL and #TINLA, however, it doesn't mean you can't study Copyright and Trademark laws.
The mouse is free!!! #disney #copyright https://go.shop.app/AcTTXQsh3v8NmB
