Star Wars 7: Why The Jedi As Myth Makes Sense
An Obi-Wan Kenobi film could take on various forms - such as, an adventure where Obi-Wan leads a team of warriors on an important mission (see the old rumor about Zack Snyder making a Seven Samurai-inspired Jedi movie ). That is, it might offer something new and fresh for both hardcore Star Wars buffs and more casual moviegoers al
The folk tale of Sleeping Beauty has been retold many times over the centuries, but one recurring part of the story is that the princess pricks her finger on the spindle of her spinning wheel and falls into a deep sleep. Of course, the spinning wheel played a big part in Disney's 1959 animated adaptation of the tale, steam key aggregator|Https://gamedealhq.com/ calling for Aurora to prick her finger and fall under Maleficent's spell. However, although Prince Phillip bestowed true love's kiss on Aurora and broke the spell, the spinning wheel survived. It can be seen in Rapunzel's tower in the beginning of Tangled , acting as a reference to the other Disney princess's tale of being trapped by a wi
Again, keep in mind that none of this means an Obi-Wan spinoff is, for sure, going to become a real thing. Nonetheless, until further notice, it's definitely an idea that shouldn't be dismissed as being too implausible - and it's an idea that's worthy of further discussion,
Some fans speculate that Disney has pulled the copies of the original Tron from shelves in an effort to disassociate this film from the now dated look of the original, so that casual movie goers will not assume that they will see more of the same in TRON: Legacy . Of course, it's possible that Disney is simply hoping to time the release of the remastered original film, with (what they hope will be) the blockbuster success of the sequel. Sean Baily would simply say "We have some big plans for the original Tron," while emphasizing that TRON: Legacy is a "standalone mov
With the star of this near-future action film advertised as part man, part machine, it’s hard to see how Robocop could truly take inspiration from the Bible. But the events of the movie are a clear match: Alex Murphy is a hero in a corrupt city, who is killed, resurrected, and emerges as a robotic savior. Director Paul Verhoeven confirmed that a Biblical allegory was his goal, even including a scene of Murphy walking on water in the film’s third act. According to the Dutch filmmaker, an invincible hero who used bullets instead of forgiveness was his idea of "an American Jesus," dishing out brutal justice in a world torn apart by violent cr
In the Marvel comic book universe, Thanos is considered to be one of the major villains, though perhaps not quite top-tier. Visually-speaking, he’s a bit derivative of Jack Kirby’s Darkseid from the New Gods of the DC Universe. Thanos’ creator, Jim Starlin, admitted as much in an intervi
It's the context of the who and what that underscores that moment in the trailer. Admittedly, 30 years is really not that much time, so people who are involved with the conflict on a regular basis know all about the Rebellion taking on the Empire, the Battle of Endor, and all the fallout from the new canon material. But Rey? A scavenger who's far away on Jakku? She's the one person in this film who truly needs a crash course covering what's happened. And since she's being set up as the protagonist of the sequel trilogy, the actual movie should be all the better for
Understandably, some viewers were confused when the new Force Awakens characters asked Han about the old Galactic Civil War and the existence of the Force. But in a way, that's because these elements have become so ingrained in our popular culture that it's almost inconceivable to come across someone who has never heard the term "Jedi Knight" or knows who Darth Vader is. In the Star Wars universe, knowledge of such things really isn't all that commonplace. It's easy to see how this could all be new, especially to someone living alone in the des
Disney's Brother Bear may not be as popular or as critically acclaimed as the studio's other movies, but the animated feature focused on the theme of family like many of Disney and Pixar's films. Plus, Brother Bear features a blink-and-you'll-miss-it nod to Pixar's notably more popular 2003 release, Finding Nemo , about a father searching for his son. If you don't look close enough at the group of salmon, it's easy to miss the clownfish hiding among them. It seems Nemo wasn't lost at 42 Wallaby Way, Sidney, Australia, but swimming with the salmon in a river on the other side of the wo
According to recent reports , Thanos will be featured in both Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers 2 (probably less the former and more the latter). It’s unclear in what capacity he’ll appear, or what comic book stories those movies will draw from - perhaps 'The Infinity Gauntlet,' 'Annihilation,' or the more recent 'The Thanos Imperative' - though he will almost certainly be "courting death" at every t
It's established early on in The Princess and the Frog that southern belle Charlotte La Bouff has an obsession with storybook princesses, and especially their dresses, which is how she comes to be friends with Tiana, the daughter of a seamstress. When Tiana kisses a frog claiming to be a prince, and makes a mess of Charlotte's room after breaking the spell doesn't go according to plan, more of Charlotte's book collection can be seen. If you look closely, one storybook on a shelf is revealed to be Rapunzel, the fairytale Disney's next princess film would focus on in Tangled , giving a nod to the following rele
