you made this thread multiple times faggot, you already got your answer

You know why.

Black lesbians

Too gay for the kids who grew up with him and unironically too gay for the kids growing up now

>Inability to play in certain countries
>Tough competition from better films
>The film retconning the TV series
>Buzz not looking remotely like his other iterations
>Toy story cast absent in any significant way, which I'm sure made a lot if kids not want to watch
>Sox wasn't nearly as cute and marketable as they though he was.
>Media drama with the kiss likely convinced a lot of parents and rightwing to pass.
>The cast was bland and forgettable as shit.
>Plot twist about Zerg was leaked, which angered a lot of people.

Take your pick.

It looked fucking boring. It was clearly a lazy cashgrab and Disney pretending like it was a revolutionary advance in gay rights for what turned out to be a 1 second kiss between minor characters just prevented it from getting any hype.

People are finally getting tired of being told how "important" a film is.

because nobody gives a fuck? like who the hell out there wanted a movie about Buzz Lightyear's character in a serious setting? one guy and his gay friend? this movie probably might have done well if it came out shortly after the toy story hype

The opening box office was a disappointment, meaning none of that factored into it. Lightyear was competing against Jurassic Park and Top Gun during Father's Day weekend. Families will watch the dad films.

If a family was going to watch all three of those movies week after week, they'd watch Top Gun then Jurassic Park, then skip Lightyear and wait for it to go on Disney+. Lightyear was fucked with that setup even if it were a masterpiece.

it is an exceedingly mediocre movie. doesn't do anything well, felt like they wrote the plotline and characters over a weekend and thought people would still fellate them because the cast is somewhat diverse.

I never watched the film, but the art looked all silly judging from the trailer. Why were they trying to make it look gritty and brown like Gears of War? Imo, Buzz Lightyear should be colorful and retro-looking. Look up pulp sci-fi on google images if you don't get what I'm talking about.

art and animation is the least of this movie's problems. its the paper thin plot and shallow, unlikable cast. none of the humor lands either. it almost feels like pixar just released this half baked on purpose or they truly don't give a shit anymore.

>fun character in a movie about toys clearly intended to be a sendup of exciting and melodramatic Buck Rodgers-esque sci-fi adventure serials
>movie is neither exciting or adventurous
>HOW COULD THIS HAVE FAILED?

It's not a film for dad though. It shits on the character and does nothing to evoke the kind of emotions from the people who watched Toy Story as a kid.

The film should have been a completely over the top scifi that played on 90s action cartoons. Instead it looked that drab character study that gave all the deeds of its title character to a female sidekick.

>The opening box office was a disappointment,
>meaning none of that factored into it.
What?
>This film didn't make money, therefore, reasons not to watch it had nothing to do with it
If nobody goes to see a movie, it won't have a good box office

terrible color scheme. The writers and artists wanted a serious sci fi plot about time dilation while using money meant as an investment for toy sales (Buzz's suit, talking cat). Basically the same issue as Titan AE. The artists want an adult story, the suits want to turn children into addicts.

an over the top fun buzz movie with evans would have been lame anyways. his buzz fucking sucks.

Golden rule for kids movies: Be a good film, be a bad film, just don't be an uninteresting film

This is where you miss someone like Lasseter and/or Brad Bird. Instead you have a bunch of writers looking at making something "emotional and powerful"

They would have understood that core pitch for the movie would be "this needs to be a film that would have caused ten year olds in the toy Story universe to become completely obsessed for years"

ugly characters
uninteresting
boring
diversity and gay shit

>Buzz is the only one who looks like his armor is from his own IP but his sidekicks all look like Halo knock-offs
Why did they do it?

they all wear his type of armor in the movie eventually. doesn't matter. movie still sucks.

Because they don't have the design talent at Pixar any more.

>same issue as Titan AE
>the suits want to turn children into addicts
Excuse me?

Then they should have marketed it that way.
Not like I was going to see it anyway but I'd rather they kept the unique designs rather than try to ape what's popular nowadays.

The makers were obviously ashamed of including any actual SPAAAAAACE AAAAADVENTUUURE retro fun in their story.

We've had this thread literally hundreds of times. It just looked mute and sterile. Looked too serious for a kids' film. Intentionally marketed itself like a big controversy during the exact moment Disney was getting a lot of shit over related issues.

its cause they're "unofficial" cadets or whatever so they all wear rundown junky shit at the start.
