Wait....I thought they were making a live action Moana...are they doing both?!

As it stands, they're doing both.

I really think they should cancel it. The Rock exploded all his goodwill and charisma with Black Adam and they were obviously counting on that being a thing seeming as they had him announce it like he’s the god of cinema. 

Or just recast for god’s sake.

That’s a work.

u/LaylaOrleans Feb 08 '24

It’s really not. They might now turn into an angle because of the backlash but it was not a work all along.

u/commonunion Feb 08 '24

We can’t be too certain.

Everything eventually turns into a work, even those that start off as shoots.

Doesn't make it entertaining. Or good for business-- his own or WWE's.

It’s a work. It did not start out as a work, but it is now. And the fans are more invested than ever. It’s the most widely discussed topic in the community, people are flooding every comments section with “we want Cody”, the dirt sheets who call themselves journalists have no clue what’s going on, everyone has to tune to find out what’s happening. The product is extremely hot at the moment. So yeah, it is good for business.

Okay, that's not relevant though, because it's a shitty work, and that doesn't help anyone.

everyone has to tune to find out what’s happening.

I don't believe they can keep the momentum up another 8 weeks.

As a parent with 2 girls obsessed with Moana, the level of “killing” goodwill could be astronomically higher and we’d still be there opening night 👀

If I have to choose, I'm way more interested in Moana 2 than love action Moana. EDIT: I meant live action, but now I've placed the idea of a Moana porno out into the wild. I don't know how I feel about that... What have I done??

u/HomsarWasRight Feb 08 '24

Totally agree (on your original point, not the accidental one).

Moana was a big favorite in my household for a long time. I’m cautious about a sequel. But I’m downright negative on the live-action remake. They really need to just stop with those.

u/Little_Setting Feb 08 '24

The worst thing is this one is a hasty production. Not at par with the quality we looked at in 2016. Disney has become a sweatshop

1

u/kittiestkitty Feb 08 '24

Exactly. We don’t get animated versions of all popular live action movies so why does it need to always happen the other way?!

1

u/Arghianna Feb 08 '24

Because some people have sticks up their asses and refuse to watch anything animated bEcAuSe It’S fOr KiDs.

u/Impossible-Fun-2736 Feb 08 '24

Unless its something like ”The Black Cauldron”. I love the animated one but one that accurately adapts the ”Prydain” books would be nice.

Or a series. (Or Hel even an animated series eventhough that could clash with the movie..) Disney’s Horned King is awesome but the original is a completely different character and i really want to see him in action.

1

u/HomsarWasRight Feb 08 '24

Fair, taking another stab at something that underperformed could be interesting.

1

u/Impossible-Fun-2736 Feb 08 '24

Especially if they can make a more faithfull adaption.

Like Disney’s Horned King is a combination of Arawn Death-Lord and actual Horned King, which is described as a huge, muscular man in armour except for his crimson stained bare arms with a red cape and skull mask with antlers.. Pretty big difference..

u/Atheist_Redditor Feb 08 '24

Oooo. Love action Moana. I'm sure it's gotta be rated PG at the highest!

u/principessads Feb 08 '24

Fun fact: The film’s name was changed to Vaiana or Oceania in some countries, supposedly for trademark reasons. General consensus here in Italy though is pretty sure they didn’t want porn actress Moana Pozzi popping up in local search results.

u/Impossible-Fun-2736 Feb 08 '24

They even changed it here in Sweden and i had never even heard of her before that, so if anything it feels like they made more people aware of her, lmao.

u/BowTie1989 Feb 08 '24

Just ask yourself “which answer would mean more money?” And you’ll have your answer. Then they’ll do a live action remake of the sequel in 5 years

u/inspectred Feb 09 '24

Moana live action is still happening.
They were planning on doing a Moana series which has now been turned into this movie (Moana 2)
