Big Hero 6

OK, well at least we know Krei is Alan Tudyk is playing the villain. Again.

Krei kind of looks like Martin Short.

Not necessarily.

Krei either is the villain or is at least associated close enough to either be a bigger bad. It's pretty obvious now.

...Or he could be there to make us think he's the Bad Guy.

Is he like Red Herring from A Pup Named Scooby Doo?

Both and are certainly a possibility. It's not out of the question that Disney might pull a reverse Frozen and have a guy who's perfectly set up to be the villain and turns out not to be one.

....... Except then in that case, the only foreseeable payoff Disney could pull for this twist to work then is to have some who's clearly NOT been targeted as evil as the true antagonist. Which could be the mild mannered professor or, more likely, the brother who's been conveniently missing for the majority of the film and after his sudden disappearance, a masked phantom suddenly appears. And I really freaking hope they don't pull that card.

Sounds?

.... where was there a clip of the villain??

I don't believe anyone had said anything about acoustic vibrations recently.

So let's go back to this gif for a moment. O/////O ◊

Okay, that's just wrong...it is bad enough that the butt pose is the to-go pose for adult heroines, but those are teenagers at best. I feel a little bit uncomfortable to see them strike a pose which is keyed as sexualized due to it's overuse in certain comic books...my only glimmer of hope is the gif. Perhaps they will subvert it...but still.

...Eh.

Edit: Okay, sorry, that was kind of rude. Let me elaborate; I don't really see it as that sexualized. But that's just me, I guess.

Oh boy. Just what I needed. Another fictional crush.

Disney apparently had no problem with that amination.

ditto. I think it's kind of a female subjugation Rorschach test.

I think Gogo's gonna be my favorite character for sure.

Holy fuck my own excitement for this movie is seriously scaring me.

Please please please please please let this be a hit.

I highly doubt a movie with squishy huggable ol' Baymax will not make all the money.

I'm saying this on the fact that Disney films aimed at boys don't tend to do as well as their princess films aimed at girls. For some reason, they always appear to aim for the niche viewership whenever they make an animated film aimed at boys. Wreck-It Ralph had the best storyline and most inventive animation they ever had in years, but it was about video arcade games which aren't popular anymore and the gamers are a small audience compared to the rest of the audiences, and the film didn't do nearly as well as even Tangled and I even see it fading from interest! Aladdin was a semi-princess film aimed at boys and girls and was one of their funniest films ever, but Disney doesn't seem to think of it as a big deal in 2014.

I'd say given the amount of fandom Wi R still has going for it along with the fact that it's the fourth highest grossing Disney animated film, it's still considered a success by the studio.

Also, looks like Rocket Cat may have made it into the film after all [1]◊

I love how Tadashi is looking at the reader while saying that! "Right, boys and girls?? ...right."

This illustrates why this particular pose bothers me so much: http://io9.com/5863094/what-if-the-male-avengers-posed-like-scarlett-johanssons-black-widow

And it's the same with Big Hero 6...the females have this strange "butt pose", but the males are allowed take some sort of fighting stance.

Are we gonna bring that argument over here??? Really??
