DatoneHaole (@DatoneHaole) reported@nikhil_exe9 Largely uninteresting girlboss character, who Disney screwed by making her so powerful they had to write her out of existence. Her arc is a flat line, and the latter issue kept her out of sight for much of the content that mattered.

Stuntman Mike (@Stunt_ManMik3) reportedI watched The Mandalorian & Grogu last night and it pains me to say this, and I can hardly believe i’m saying it but…..it may very well be worse than The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. While I utterly dislike those two movies, they at least try to do something new & are at least very proficiently made movies on a technical level. I’ll have to rewatch it, but this was NOT the movie to bring Star Wars back to the big screen. While watching it, I couldn’t help but think that Star Wars has never felt “smaller”. The VFX looked really cheap. The script was likely written in a day, if not over a lunch hour. The acting was…..oooof (that opening scene/meeting 🫠) I blame them trying to condense a full season into a 2hour “meh” fest. While there was nothing “overtly bad”. It was just mediocre & sometimes that can be worse than a bad movie swinging for the fences. This should have been S4 and kept on Disney+

Joe Gálvez (@JoeyPNino) reported@MCHockeyPodcast But hear me out..... If they couple the arena with a theme park, then a space-western aesthetic would work as said theme.... Sorta like Galaxy's Edge at Disney

ScriptHop (@ScriptHop) reportedScreenwriters, we’ve unlocked Hollywood for you. Your script receives at least 7 (or up to 17) individual assessments in a single interactive report from industry gatekeepers who actually work for known studios, agencies, and production companies like Sony Pictures, Amazon Studios, Netflix, Warner Bros, HBO, UTA, Disney, Lionsgate, and more.

Der_Tim (@teenoreo) reported@SkywardWing I really hope that the Disney worlds are fleshed out better and feature more substantial storytelling this time around compared to Kingdom Hearts 3 especially when compared to that terrible Frozen world.

Kevin Gray (@graykevinb) reported@BurnZeZ Same. I was downloading some disney+ movies and realized it defaulted to "Normal" quality which was basically blurry low res slop

Kay-D MusiQ (@KayDMusiQ) reported@SoonerSunnyhill @BoardwalkTimes I don’t think it’s really an Iger issue. Feels more like an Wall Street thing. For whatever reason no matter what Disney does they can’t win with them. Like they complain no matter what Disney are doing while they seem to love comoanies like Netflix. It’s all very odd

Ticker Report (@ticker_report) reportedIn a notable portfolio change, ValueAct Capital fully exited its position in The Walt Disney Company during the second quarter of 2026. According to an SEC filing dated August 14, 2026, the activist firm sold its entire stake of over 400,000 shares, valued at approximately $38.6 million at the end of March. As with all 13F filings, this disclosure reflects trades executed in the prior quarter and is not a real-time update. The sale follows a period of close collaboration between the two companies. In early 2026, ValueAct and Disney entered an information-sharing agreement, with ValueAct supporting Disney's board during a proxy contest. The complete exit may suggest that the investment firm believes its work in helping to guide the entertainment giant's strategy has concluded. During the quarter of the sale, Disney reported revenue growth and beat earnings estimates under new CEO Josh D'Amaro. $DIS

Rayden_413 Kick and Rumble Soon™ #BSo7 (@Rayden413) reported@GloberZune @LimajHajile Original argument: Artists extract visual solutions from other artists — pose, lighting, structure, style — keep them, reuse them, and get better. That process was given a historical moral pass and renamed “reference” and “study.” You quoted that post and answered “AI is stealing. References aren’t.” That is a moral split applied to the same process. If unconsented extraction is wrong for a model, it is wrong for the human. If it is permitted for the human, you need a rule that stays clean when the actor changes. You still have not given that rule. Read that again before you reach for another screenshot. You quoted the argument. You formatted it in orange. You still did not attack it. What follows is not a new subject. It is the names of the methods you used to avoid the one you were given. Start with the word you keep hiding behind. Equivocation: You wrote: “The moment you said ‘stealing’, it became a legal argument.” You wrote: “Talking about stealing puts this conversation into the realm of law.” This is the first correction. A word can do more than one job. I used steal as moral language for taking visual solutions that originated with someone else and keeping them. You treated the syllable as a filing under Title 17. That is not analysis. That is a venue change. If a student answers a question about consistency by announcing that the vocabulary has moved the class into a different building, the student has not answered. He has left. Which brings us to the building you keep pointing at. Appeal to unfinished litigation: You wrote: “And courts agree on it.” They do not. Disney Enterprises Inc. v. Midjourney Inc., C.D. Cal. No. 2:25-cv-05275, filed June 11, 2025, is still in motions and discovery. There is no merits holding that training equals theft. A complaint is an accusation. A docket number is not a verdict. “Courts agree” is circular: you treat the existence of a lawsuit as proof of the claim the lawsuit has not decided. Produce the case number and the holding that says training equals theft. If you cannot, the phrase “courts agree” is retired. You do not get to lecture from a bench that has not ruled. Now the papers. You cited them as if citation were the same thing as comprehension. Composition fallacy: You wrote that Somepalli used “ordinary prompts sampled directly from training captions WITHOUT an attack methodology,” then concluded: “You get replication, not generalization/new art.” Somepalli is a real paper. Sit down. It does not say what you used it for. They generated images from captions already paired with training images and searched for matches. They reported about 1.88 percent potential copies and told the reader to treat that figure carefully because the search ran over a subset. Some outputs can be near-copies. That does not make generation replication. Finding a minority retrieval hit under caption reuse and then declaring that the whole process is copying is the composition fallacy: a part is treated as the whole. You are allowed to say copies exist. You are not allowed to promote a retrieval tail into a mechanism. You also used “ordinary prompts” incorrectly. That error has a name only if we first teach the terms you mixed together. A prompt is not a training caption: A training caption is the text that sat next to an image in the dataset while the model was trained. The model learned a statistical association between that text distribution and image features. A prompt is inference-time text. It conditions sampling from the already-learned distribution. It is not a lookup key for a stored file. Somepalli reused training captions as prompts. That is a regurgitation test. It is not a user typing “Wolverine.” Feeding the model the exact caption that was glued to a training image is a special condition that raises the chance of a near-copy. Calling that “ordinary” is how a student turns a lab setup into a slogan. Ordinary use is not caption replay. Keep your seat. The next citation has the same problem in a different coat. Irrelevant conclusion: You wrote that models fail rare combinations, invoked “compositional generalization failure” and “role collapse,” and treated that as proof that humans generalize while models only replay co-occurrence, therefore AI steals and references do not. A capability limit is not a theft proof. Role collapse means the model defaults to frequent patterns. That is distributional bias. A photocopier does not fail “worm’s-eye person in a tree.” If your evidence is that the model cannot assemble rare poses, you are describing a sampler stuck near common co-occurrences, not a machine that retrieves stored art on demand. Even if every capability claim were granted, it would still not answer the question on the board: why extracting an eye construction from Kubo is “study” and training on it is “theft.” You answered a different exam. Which is why your kitbashing line matters. You thought it was a dismissal. It was a confession with worse vocabulary. Special pleading, and the kitbashing own-goal: You wrote: “Literally fusing those 3 things is called kitbashing, not ‘original character design’. It’s not how character design actually works.” You named the act I described and gave it a ***** word once the sources were named. Then you moved the clean version one layer up: “we study how an eye is constructed.” That construction did not arrive from the ether. It is a pile of specific eyes someone already solved. Calling it technique does not reset the chain of custody. It hides the names. Follow the fork you created. If combining Kishimoto’s face construction, Kubo’s eyes, and Oda’s exaggeration is illegitimate kitbashing, the human pass you are defending is illegitimate too. If that combination is ordinary learning, you are condemning the scaled version of the same sequence. You tried to keep the pass by renaming the human version and disqualifying the named version. That is the conversion already on the table: historical pass into “generalizable skill / clay / selfie / paid class.” Same extraction. Better branding. Special pleading is the name for an exemption that survives only so long as you refuse to apply it evenly. You attempted to replace that missing rule with a definition. Definitions are not evidence. Circular consent: You wrote: “Consent is automatically given for studying or references or viewing if it’s publicly posted. Consent is not given to take it en masse and shove in an ai model.” That is the dispute restated as a premise. You do not get to define public looking as consented extraction and model looking as unconsented extraction and then cite the definition as proof. State the rule that makes the posted image mineable by a human retina and not by a model. “Because I called one of them study” is not the rule. It is the conclusion sitting in the premise’s chair. Two shorter errors, then we return to the board. Red herring: You wrote about nudes, false videos, stolen identities, “comproiomising positions.” Those can be real harms. They are not the argument you quoted. They are a temperature change. You raise the moral heat so you do not have to stay on process. Different crime. Different class. Straw man: You wrote “YOUR ‘feeling’” and that I “treat all references as ‘stolen.’” The claim was never “a photo of your own hands is theft.” The claim was: apply the standard evenly and the human exemption becomes visible. Flattening a consistency test into a tantrum is easier than sitting with it. It is also not a rebuttal. Motte and bailey: Motte: some models can emit near-copies of duplicated IP. Bailey: mass extraction of visual solutions without a license is theft, therefore references are clean and training is not. When pressed on process, you retreat to Somepalli, Wolverine, and a pending docket. When granted that copies can exist, you run the process claim as if it were already won. Pick one claim and remain there. Oscillating between the modest statement you can almost support and the broad statement you need is not a structure. It is a hide. You still have not said at what layer borrowed visual solutions become moral for a human and immoral for a tool. Selfies, Blender, ctrlpaint, public domain, and work-for-hire are examples. They are not that layer. Examples are not a principle. You may sit down when you can state the principle. Original argument: Artists extract visual solutions from other artists — pose, lighting, structure, style — keep them, reuse them, and get better. That process was given a historical moral pass and renamed “reference” and “study.” You quoted that post and answered “AI is stealing. References aren’t.” That is a moral split applied to the same process. If unconsented extraction is wrong for a model, it is wrong for the human. If it is permitted for the human, you need a rule that stays clean when the actor changes. You still have not given that rule. Address that, or admit you changed the subject.

Jason (@JLemus) reported@shawngorham It’s mostly because of the heat and kids returning to school. But there has been a slight downtrend and Disney knows it. The amount of surveys going out is on the rise which means they’re trying to figure out the problem.

rob p (@therealpinoyrob) reported@_Deez_Games The eerie part about this is that I was literally thinking about this guy’s character Work the other day. Disney released a NFL Collab. I was wondering why they didn’t use Monterey Jack as the rep for Green Bay. Then went down a rabbit hole.

Magneto’s character sucks without his backstory read the ****** ultimate comics if you so desperately want a Magneto that doesn’t have ties to the events that made his character

FloridaBuckeye21 (@BuckeyeChi5) reportedMy wife and I against my better judgement went to Disneyland for our anniversary a few weeks ago.

Do not make me fly back there to help you pack your Uhaul bc you and. your wonderful family deserve better enough is enough new friend get out of there!!!!!
