I increasingly suspect the purpose of new Disney films is to make the previous Disney film look good by comparison. Live action "Little Mermaid"? Lost money. So hold on, here's "Snow White," making "Little Mermaid" look like "Avatar by comparison. "So what are we going to do about 'Snow White'?" "I know: 'Elio'!" "Captain America: Brave New World" underperformed? Wait until you see the final numbers for "Thunderbolts*". And "Fantastic Four" is waiting in the wings--a movie that comes out later this month and I still don't think it has an MPAA rating yet. Why? Because they're still editing and recutting it to try to get something that will lose them as little money as possible. Or maybe, if my theory is correct, hit that sweet spot where it loses a lot more than "Thunderbolts*" but not so much that they can't make a movie that underperforms it. Their one bright spot this year has been "Lilo & Stitch."
