  1. With the exception of Lilo & Stitch and Fantasia, I never liked Disney. When I was a kid in the 70s, the Muppet Show was much more to my liking. Disney always had the corporate stench about them, and once I got into my teen years, I was well past any possible place they might have in my list of viable entertainment. So when they bought Marvel AND Star Wars, two of my my childhood (and teenage) go-to entertainment venues, I knew what that would bring: eventual, complete failure. They don't understand the nuances of either of those two. They made Marvel less about comics, and more what the average, everyman wanted. And that worked for a while, but it couldn't last. Movies can't come out with the regularity of comics, and they can't rely on the mythologizing we get from a printed medium. They have to be more realistic. And, sorry, superheroes aren't realistic. That can't work for long, or often enough to build an active universe for the average movie watcher. And since Disney doesn't understand mythology, and wants to appeal to more people than already established core fans, Star Wars was bound to fail too. Of course, those 2 are only part of Disney's failure, but they were something the corporation banked on being a sure thing.
