So funny.
My goodness!!! I can't believe they actually went there!

Rofl, the kids were cute and the relationship was treated well. Stop trying to be so 'edgy' about it.

Glad it had that effect on you. I loved it too, even though I did think three cameo scenes took away from other things, including agency for the remaining Rescue Rangers.

Life through the filter of these cynical losers is so relentlessly hostile and negative towards anything in entertainment these days that it becomes impossible to take any of it seriously. At one time, they had a point, but now all they do is grift for outrage dollars or listen to so much of this crap that the simplest things like harmless deep cut humour or satirical commentary just offends them as much as 'woke' s*it. They think everything is an attack on them and their place in the world. For f*ck's sake go outside.

To reward the machine/the mouse is such an affront to them. They can't stand people having fun with these movies, it's pathetic.

What I saw with my own two eyes weren't 'abominations' and weren't acknowledged as such. Again, this is just cynical 'grown-ass' adults being grossed out unnecessarily because some iconic mouse from a kids show didn't f*ck their favourite Chipmunk of preference. Priorities people.

But wasn't part of the joke about Gadget and Zipper's kids that they were abomination? Chip seemed freaked out by them.

OK, just rewatched that scene....Chip isn't 'freaked' out, what are you talking about? He makes mention of some of the kids having their dad and mom's features and calls them 'cute', he isnt taking issue with it at all. Some of you are just making up stuff to complain about now. Dale doesn't question it either.

It seems a lot of people like it.
Well, if I was more gentle, I'd said that it their right and different strokes for different folks and all that, but...as a BIG fan of an original series, I can't help, but being angry that this **** exploits something I held dear to my heart without making any attempt to reinstall its former glory and atmosphere.
**** you, Rogen.

I'm a Rescue Rangers fan the same as you and I didn't feel it was exploited, it was a great detective story so I didn't think it lacked atmosphere.

The only thing I'm disappointed in is it's more or less just a Chip'N'Dale movie and not a Rescue Rangers movie. It's a misleading title because it's more about brand relevancy than the group.

I never said he was freaked out. And you're right, he spoke about it endearingly. It's still meant to be a joke, and it's dumb. Awful, lowbrow stuff.

It's their right to enjoy stuff. Doesn't mean you and I need to. Honestly, it boggles my mind that people so easily fall for this stuff (falling for the emotionally manipulative prologue, loving it for having Sanic in it, nostalgia, etc). I'm not sure how much of a hand Rogen had in this since I haven't looked up the credits for this pile of-- I mean, feature film. But it really does reek of his work. This movie is held together by nostalgiabait, memes, and sex/drug/vulgar humor like this usual works are. I'd say that some of his movies are better than this one is, if he really did have a hand in this.

Welp. Expect more stuff like this from the upcoming Darkwing Duck and Ninja Turtles movies coming from Rogen's production company...

Which is it? They have the right to enjoy it, but they're secretly being brainwashed? That they have the right to be gullible in your eyes?

Why does it always have to be 'oh the general public are soooooooooo stupid, not like us, we don't obey/consume, we're free of the matrix" with you people? You're not the resistance, you're not special, you're 40-odd year old nerds with entitlement issues and you're disillusioned that the world doesn't' quite function the same way it did in 1989.




Just admit the film isn't for you, no need to make yourself feel superior to everyone else for not liking what they like. They're having a good time and you're wallowing in your misery, I'd say the advantage is theirs.

Good. If it's anything like this, we're in for a treat. Cope.

I watched it last night, and even though I wasn't sure about it at first, I actually enjoyed it.

Ah, yes, post-modern Turtles...as, if everything done before didn't verge on the border of deconstruction.

It's depicted as a loving, healthy relationship who everyone supports and the kids look great. There's nothing awful or lowbrow about it. Just you not being able to get over interspecies intercourse or perceiving it as a jab at Gadget/Chip/Dale 'shippers.

I might add that if Chip or Dale had sex with Gadget, guess what? That'd still be interspecies intercourse, and you'd be fine with it. But no, you're freaked out by the idea it was the fly. A bit discrematory wouldn't you say?

Okay. I get it, you're angry that I dared to say mean things about a movie you liked.

You can stop making assumptions about me, and insulting me now. Really, someone disliking a movie you enjoyed isn't the end of the world, I can assure you.

(And weird you assume I care about shipping in Rescue Rangers, but then again, I think you're just having a little too much fun taking needlessly personal jabs at my character.)

I kinda loved this movie. Best thing they've put on Disney Plus so far imo.

Yeah it's not a traditional Rescue Rangers movie based on the show but it's a cool idea that is well executed and funny. The Ugly Sonic, Fast & Furious Babies and Batman vs ET gags got me good.

Shoulda just been Roger Rabbit 2 or something.

I guess, Roger Rabbit is too high up to parasite on it as much as to make a whole sequel to it. Well, that and Hoskins is dead.

Chip saying, "Cute..." comes off as very sarcastic to me but I could be wrong.

Chip has a 'chip' on his shoulder at this point in the film, he works in insurance, he lives alone with his dog, he doesn't have a wife or a family. Of course he's going to be sarcastic, but it's not because he's grossed out by the two having sex. He's responding in a 'oh good for you, but what have I got to show?" manner.
