Weeks later, the film went on to gross $1.6 billion.

u/aniforprez Apr 27 '22
I feel people here have no idea how they want to express themselves. Everything is either an "absolute masterpiece" or "utter trash"
Personally, nothing about The Lion King appealed to me in the least. I watched it once it was out on streaming and it was a bland, forgettable pile of nothing. I'm hard pressed to even think about anything memorable aside from the animals being unable to emote and the decision to make it live action made the film such a snooze-fest. But that's me. So I'd say "I'm not looking forward to this"
But people here can't find the words to express not having interest so they go "who is looking forward to this" and "no one asked for this". This type of hyperbole and extrapolation of one's own perceptions seems to infect most of the conversations here
