Live Action Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers

[Panda_Kahn_fan]

This really, really makes me ill.

Why oh why did ducktales/carl barks duck fans get their true-to -the-spirit of the original show/comics reboot, and we Rescue Rangers fans get this steaming pile of meta-trash that feels like a poor man's roger rabbit?

Ugh, I'm sticking to my dvds, and boom comics back issues.

Like Don Rosa pointed out, Carl Barks' Donald Duck comics are amongst the most popular in the world and his characters had already been used by other comics and cartoons long before Ducktales. Rescue Rangers was the first time Chip and Dale were depicted in this way and wasn't nearly as influential as the Barks comics, meaning they are mostly depicted as the mischievous nut burglars from the theatrical cartoons. The reason for going in this particular direction seems to be an attempt to reconcile why Rescue Rangers is so drastically different from other versions of Chip and Dale, as Disney would reasonably think most people would expect them to be more like in the theatrical cartoons.

To simplify this, Carl Barks left a huge impact on the Donald Duck franchise, Rescue Rangers on the other hand didn't and can come across like a weird experiment from the 80's. That doesn't mean it deserves a weird meta comedy that comments on the show instead of just being like the show.

I think DuckTales was just lucky it had a good remake. In fact, seems like a happy accident given how awful most of them are nowadays. Despite the excellent reception the 2017 series received, Disney still blocked that team from getting a fourth season or working on other Disney Afternoon related projects like Darkwing Duck or the trash Rescue Rangers movie.

Though it looks like this Rescue Rangers movie is going to do well. It's got a 85% on RT, and people are creaming themselves on Twitter over the My Little Ponies showing up. The studios are at fault, yes, but people keep watching and paying for these horrible shows and movies. So. Yeah. These studios know they can put out crap, and still make huge profits on them.

Oh, I'm well aware of the impact and legacy of the Carl Barks and Don Rosa duck universe. The old castle's secret, Lost in the Andes, the life of Scrooge McDuck, and Return to Plain Awful are among my favorite Disney comic stories. But even though it doesn't have the legacy and pedigree ducktales has, I feel that rescue Rangers still deserved a better adaptation/reboot.

The new Ducktales was very lucky it turned out good at all, if it was made just a few years later it would have been garbage.

Best Friend / Saweetie
That my best friend, she a real bad bitch
Got her own money, she 'on't need no nig'
On the dance floor, she had two-three drinks
Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in
That's my best friend, she a real bad bitch
Drive her own car, she 'on't need no Lyft
In the strip club, know my girl gon' tip
Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in

Beep-beep, is that my bestie in a Tessie?
Fresh blow out, skin on tan, ooh, she ready
Bitch, you look goodt, with a T at the end
I'ma hype her every time, that my mother****in' friend
She been down since the jellies and the Volvos
Got me steppin' out that Jeep, got Manolo's
When we pull up to the scene, they be filled with jealousy
If a bitch get finicky, she gon' bring that energy (pop-pop-pop)
I hit her phone with the tea, like, "Bitch, guess what?"
All the rich ass boys wanna **** on us
All this ass sittin' up, you can look, don't touch
In our bag, bust some bands every time we link up

That my best friend, she a real bad bitch
Got her own money, she 'on't need no nig'
On the dance floor, she had two, three drinks
Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in
That's my best friend, she a real bad bitch
Drive her own car, she 'on't need no Lyft
In the strip club, know my girl gon' tip
Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in

That my best friend, if you need a freak
I ain't dumb, but mother****er, she my Tweedledee
If she ride for me (ride), she 'on't need a key
If you sideways, she'll straighten you if need to be
And she so bad that I just can't take that bitch nowhere
She off her fifth shot, said, "Mmm-mmm, don't go there"
Bitch, break her back, she protect and attack
Get that strap like them buckle, foot on neck, give no air
Whole world wanna be us
And my main bitch, she my day-one
On my way, bitch, let you get drunk
Let's celebrate 'cause we the baddest in the club

That my best friend, she a real bad bitch
Got her own money, she 'on't need no nig'
On the dance floor, she had two, three drinks
Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in
That's my best friend, she a real bad bitch
Drive her own car, she 'on't need no Lyft
In the strip club, know my girl gon' tip
Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in

Ha, best friend, you the baddest and you know it (you know)
Uh-oh, girl, I think our booty growin' (ayy-yeah)
**** it up in the mirror, hit them poses (pose)
Best friend, damn, you mother****in' glowin' (woo-woo)
Best friend, damn, your wrist look like it's frozen (it's frozen)
Uh-oh, girl, I think our booty growin' (uh-oh)
**** it up in the mirror, hit them poses (hit that pose)
Best friend, you my mother****in' soulmate

Typical Hollywood Think: If the first line of a song vaguely fits the theme we want to convey in the trailer, we are TOTALLY using it.

Or in this case the first half of the first line...

[superstaff]

Food for thought.

But why do the writers portray Chip and Dale as 'has-beens' who haven't worked since Rescue Rangers when they're both still popular Disney characters? They've been shown in cartoons, at the parks, etc. They are not goddamn 'has-beens'!

Why would they get this thing? The actual movie fixed the design.

It's played for laughs. I've seen the clips, it's hilarious. Makes him a bit iconic now because they're embracing the notoriety.

Oh, and about Gadget

Spoiler:

She's a happily married woman. She f*cked Zipper and they have 42 kids

Sounds like he's pretty damn fly then.

Somehow, I was actually more surprised to see a fully on-model Tigra from the 1990s Avengers: United They Stand cartoon (to this day, I've never seen an episode of that show, even though it is available digitally). I'm assuming Disney fully own the rights to the toon, but I am curious what sort of legal hoops they had to jump through to use THAT version of Blue Boy.

I came here just to talk about ugly Sonic. I haven't quite finished the movie yet and it's alright I guess, but what really got me laughing was ugly Sonic. I could not stop laughing at ugly Sonic.

[sdp]

Who is this movie made for?
Kids who have never watched the original show, that's the target audience and who they want to watch their funny movie. It's also written so adults and casual fans of the show or those who remember it can laugh at the concept of reboots and whatnot.
The movie is not for hardcore fans of the cartoon who wanted a "serious/real" movie because let's face it, that audience is too small. It would've bombed and it would've been criticized for not being good since let's face it it would've been bad because Hollywood.

This is the best alternative, all clips look funny.

[ZariusTwo]

I've watched most of it and yes, the internet got their t*its in a flap over nothing. It's not as crazy as I thought it would be, but it's neither cynical or even woke.

[neatoman]

Avengers: United They Stand?

That's uh... Interesting? Seeing the clip, I now understand why they went with the scrapped trailer design for Sonic but seeing Tigra from AUTS raises more questions. Why that particular version? Yeah, it's one of the more embarrassing Marvel cartoons but I don't think it has the meme status of Ugly Sonic. Why not the 60's attempt at an avengers cartoon that just looks like comic book pages with lip flaps? Is it because Tigra's own show got scrapped a while back?

If this is true that’s a big F U to the fandom, as a fan of the series I was already horrified by them making the characters CGI instead of just using 2D animation.

I hated that they we’re making the pilot for the movie instead of new material since the series ended. Than we got this trash instead.

Russia got Disney cut off from them and they are the cult loving Gadget fandom mentioned in Wiki they’d bomb Hollywood for this garbage.

I wonder if the fandom will write hate mail to the idiots who wrote this?

I’m great full FoxGlove wasn’t in this mix.

It's handled pretty tastefully and is a very sweet thing. It's hard to get mad at it because they're such wholesome characters and remain that way.

Spoiler:

The only downside is, besides Monty being a victim, Gadget doesn't do anything in the film other than fly Dale to where he needs to be and banter a bit with him. She has a great deal of chemistry with him too, it makes me wonder if the Zipper relationship was necccersary when they could have just revealed she and Dale were married.

as a fan of the series I was already horrified by them making the characters CGI instead of just using 2D animation.

There's a good mix of 3D and 2D animation as well as live action, the 2D stuff leaves a little to be desired but the CGI is made to look bad completely on purpose. The whole story is about how the animation is twisted for dirty profit.

I was surprised to see

Randy Marsh

as a background character.
