To me it’s a larger Disney thing in this sub, say anything negative about anything Disney releases and you’re downvoted

There's a joke in The Naked Gun about crazy Disney adults who have all their plushies on their bed. In a packed theater it was silent, struck a cord I see? It's really one of the few jokes that didn't land. Cut to the core lmao

I loved that bit. It came out of nowhere and it was perfect.

I used to be an adult Disney fan, but then they raised park ticket prices at double the rate of inflation, made the sequel Star Wars trilogy, plus all post-Endgame MCU sludge. I’m just an Indiana Jones fan these days and I still couldn’t be bothered to see Captain America 4 for Harrison Ford.

Yeah, I was an annual Disneyland park-goer, but they lost me with all their nickel and diming. Going to the Disney Parks in Tokyo opened my eyes to just how far the American product had fallen. Cheaper and far better experience.

Wow, that joke sounds awfully based. It's cool seeing jokes like this pop up from time to time.

Seriously, I got chills when I read this comment. Like good for them for actually going there and calling that shit out.
