You've Got To Be Kidding Me (Finding Nemo 2 Seriously)

[Lieju]

Meh, I didn't particularly like Finding Nemo in the first place, so I'm not terribly invested...

Not that I hated it either, I just tend to be indifferent towards the Pixar-films, and just not get them.
'Finding Nemo' is particularly meh amongst them.

 

[Silvianoshei]

Because I'm allowed to have a stance? Because I loved Finding Nemo and their recent track record leaves me worried that they will fuck up this sequel somehow? That I feel Finding Nemo doesn't need a sequel?

There are a number of reasons to have a stance.

It's your prerogative, mate, but I don't see how this movie affects your love for Finding Nemo at all. It's about Dory. In that way, it's not a sequel.

If you didn't like their recent movies, and somehow you can't stop yourself from just ignoring this, that's a personal problem. Can't help you there.

Righto. And since I haven't been trying to force my views on anyone else, then we can leave it at that. After all, that's what opinions are for, and god help you if you want to get into an argument about that on this website.

It could be a good movie.

But that doesn't matter apparently. I mean, the internet sure was spot on with the DMC and Tomb Raider reboots.

Carry on, then.

So is your net of counterarguments moving on from just gaming now? Seriously, is it so bad that I am skeptical about a film? It could be good, but I have no idea how they could pull it off. If I remain cautious, then I don't stand to lose anything. If I look forward to it and it sucks, I feel let down. If I stay cautious and it sucks, nothing is lost, but if it is good, I can be pleasantly surprised.

There is a difference between hating on something and staying distant because you have concerns.

All we know is the title and the most basic plot synopsis. I feel like it's a little too early to be making judgments.

That's the same problem I have with the above post talking about how they will only start being concerned if Monster's University turns out to be bad. What is the difference between two bad movies and three bad movies? What is the difference between voicing concerns over a plot synopsis and getting one or two previews?

It's like saying that you aren't allowed to be mad at a game's beta because it isn't indicative of the final product. Sure, it might not be, but are you supposed to withhold all your criticism until a final product is released?

It doesn't work like that with films, there is no beta version where you can try the gameplay and see if you like it. Trailers aren't really indicative of the final product either. I say we just wait and see if it's any good before we say OMG IT SUCKS

And where am I saying that it sucks? I'm just baffled that it is even being made, and I am raising my concerns. But in some people's minds, that is a bad thing.

I don't see a problem with this. I certainly don't want an Incredibles sequel. Don't we have other things to ***** about? Or do you just have such a great life that this is the worse thing that could happen?

Like this guy for example. What the fuck is so wrong with me not being ecstatic about this news? Why is it such a big fucking deal to some people that someone *gasp* has concerns with a film that they feel the need to be snide or start acting like smug jerks because their tastes differ?

Because it is a fucking movie. If you don't want to watch, don't. Tons of movies, music, tv shows, ect. are terrible. I don't feel the need to ***** about them, I just don't watch them. Why waste my time and energy complaining about a movie? The studio doesn't care what you think. If they want to make the movie, and it seems like it will make money (Which it is Pixar, so it will), they are going to make, regardless of whether "Soviet Heavy" thinks it is a good idea or not. There are much more important things to concern yourself with than a movie sequel. Life is pretty fucking amazing, and we live in a time in which we are better off than almost ever before, and people just jump online to complain about a movie.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Oh jesus are we really going to do the fucking "life is beautiful, so stop being so negative man!" hippie crap now? I didn't realize that the opinions of one person on the internet could piss off so many people, but there you go. Take your own advice and live your amazing life, and stop complaining about another person who doesn't affect you in the slightest on the internet.

personally i didn't really like dory as a character. found her to be pretty irritating, but it was balanced out by her not being the star of the film. finding nemo isn't really one of my favourites by pixar anyway, they've done so much better work, but i'm sure when finding dory gets released i'll see it at some point, even laugh at a few little parts, but overall i won't like it.

at least this way i have a reason to say i think this will be bad (for me), and i severely doubt i'll be proved wrong

 

[Jewrean]

Reminds me of this... except replace Microsoft with Disney, and Rare with Pixar.

 

[sky14kemea]

Oh, and let's not forget "planes". In the universe of cars. The film that sucked first time round, and even more the next time. AND NOW THEY'RE DOING IT AGAIN, WITH FUCKING PLANES.

I give up.

Wait, seriously? They're doing a film called Planes with the same theme as Cars?

Shoot me now.

OT: I liked finding Nemo, and I have a friend who's super excited about it, so there's no doubt I'm going to end up seeing it.

I'm trying to stay neutral, I don't think it'll be great, but hopefully it'll have enough funny moments to not feel like a waste of time. :/

 

[Yuuki]

Hmm...Finding Nemo was alright, I don't know what they can really do with Dory because we already know her character so well.

But as always, never judge just because it's a sequel! Countless sequels have been bad, but many others have also been VERY GOOD and either matched or overtaken their predecessors.

Oh God, please no Incredibles sequel.

That movie has nowhere else to go without repeating itself, and no villain go ever match let alone top Syndrome. Mind you this is mainly fear talking, as I fucking LOVE The Incredibles and would hate to see it ruin its nearly perfect score with a possibly bad sequel.

This is Brad Bird we're talking about, the man behind Iron Giant (most moving 2D animated movie I have seen to date) and Mission Impossible 4, a fun-tastic thrill ride which NOBODY expected to be so awesome because the first Mission Impossibles 1-3 were so horribly mediocre and cheesy. But Brad Bird did it!

If he makes an Incredibles sequel I would be all for it, I disagree that it will be repeating itself, the universe has endless potential. We could see how Dash and Violet grow up and Jack-Jack learn to control and use his weird powers (just an example). Even superheroes get old, what will Bob and Helen do in retirement (proper retirement I mean ). Etc etc.

 

[Goofguy]

Whatever happened to all the fantastic one off Pixar movies like Ratatouille, Up or Wall-E? Because those are what I want to see, not sequels.

I'm sorry, this is off-topic, but I just had to say that your avatar is fucking hilarious.

Anyway, OT: Yeah, this is stupid. Will suck, won't see.

Captcha: Sound of Sirens.

Yes, Captcha, I can hear them now...

 

[Bug MuIdoon]

While I can respect some of the films animations, I'm indifferent to Disney-Pixar films. They're watchable, sure, but I would hardly say any of them are great pieces of film.

Not sure on how much influence Disney has over Pixar, but Disney are known to be one of the biggest cash cows in the world so I have no idea how you can be shocked or surprised over this.

When you see death and dying people every day at work, I guess you start to appreciate shit a bit more and don't have time to complain about movies on the internet. When you have done CPR on a 10 year old in the middle of a road, the sequel to a Pixar movie hardly seems worth the energy to complain about. If you think it is something worth arguing over, feel free.

 

[doomspore98]

For the record. A friend I have who works at pixar told me that for every original movie that pixar makes, they have to make two sequels or prequels, its in their contract with disney. I really want this to be good, but I dont think it will.

 

[Dead Seerius]

Didn't Pixar used to have a pretty firm 'no sequels... unless Toy Story' policy?
I have no problem with sequels, but Pixar movies are almost always so well done and perfectly rounded off that they never seem to really need additions.

First Cars (did anyone even like the first one?)

Then Monsters, Inc. (a prequel? In college? Just... why?)

And now Finding Nemo - one of the most perfect single Pixar movies ever! Starring Dory?

Forgive me for sounding pessimistic, but why revisit your past triumphs, Pixar? We demand fresh settings!

 

[YCRanger]

I personally do not care that much. I found Nemo to be the most overrated of all of Pixar's movies. For me I do not think that a sequel would reduce my opinion of the original that much.

Because it is a fucking movie. If you don't want to watch, don't. Tons of movies, music, tv shows, ect. are terrible. I don't feel the need to ***** about them, I just don't watch them. Why waste my time and energy complaining about a movie? The studio doesn't care what you think.

I always find this amusing. People on a forum that discusses video games, cartoons and other forms of entertainment bitching that people shouldn't spend much energy or worry debating movies, games, etc. We do it because we love these things. Movies are profound experiences for many of us and we hold them as our own. Why do you think people spend so much time bitching about the changes to Star Wars? It's because it goes against their interpretation of the universe. Sure it's not real and they wouldn't change George Lucas' mind. But Star Wars is a shared experience that drives people to debate. I love movies and love to debate the different merits of different films with my friends. That's what gets my synapses firing. To try and diminish someone's opinion by marginalizing the subject is arrogant. This person holds Finding Nemo dear to them and it would lessen their enjoyment of the story and characters if they came out with a sequel that was sub par. So they will fret and debate up until it comes into theaters because to them it matters. So in conclusion please get off that high horse or maybe you shouldn't frequent these types of websites if they cause you that much resentment.
