Not in this case. Kennedy fired the original directors because they refused to match her vision. Howard was just brought in to salvage the thing.
Guy stories revolve around a guy going on a journey of self-discovery and accomplishment, often starting out as just an average nobody, being thrust into circumstances where he must rise into greatness or perish. Luke Skywalker against the Death Star. Frodo against Sauron.
Disney, for decades, has been doing mostly girl stories (the various Disney princesses). Their current culture doesn’t know how to do a good guy story.
???????
Disney princesses haven't been trying to "win the handsome Alpha Male's eternal affections" for a long time.
They've been doing "guy" stuff for a while.
Disney and the current culture don't really want male heroes that much.
Well played, BradyLS
By this point, the film makers and the audience recognize the mistake and it's become sort of an "in joke."
“If those harridans made it, I wouldn’t eat it. “
The second one from the left might have potential. But looks can be deceiving.
Star Wars died decades ago. I feel sorry for kids who’s parents drag them to these rancid Disney versions. Poor kids. They can hate their parents later.
The correction is simple: go back to the original story line of a Heroes Journey or read “Hero with a Thousand Faces” in which the original story plots were formed from.
I wouldn’t mind these girls into “guy stories” but they always make the villain an insipidly stupid male with no redeeming virtues(like being competent) or a 85 pound female taking down a 300 pound goon.
I like fiction but a little reality helps push the storytelling...
Disney has been taken over by gay culture, with the support of feminists.
I miss the old days when there were only 3 Star Wars movies.
Oceans 8 is another movie that could flop too.
“Not in this case. Kennedy fired the original directors because they refused to match her vision. Howard was just brought in to salvage the thing.”
Had no idea. This is what I love about Free Republic. No better way to keep informed.
You are correct. This is explained in “Solo”.
The lot of them need to conjure themselves up a few salads.
The actor lacks gravitas for the role.
Harrison Ford had it but Alden Ehrenreich does not.
The movie has no “new hope”.
er... I download it. I deny if confronted : )
Exactly! Ron Howard is an ultra-leftist. ...I guess he and his conservative brother don’t often discuss politics.
Ron Howard was the replacement director. The original directors were Phil Lord and Christopher Miller who did The Lego Movie.
“Ron Howard was the replacement director. “
I guess this does give him some cover as far as his career goes.
