I fucking hate Disney for ruining the greatest movies of all time by making them live action.
I don't think there's been any live action remake I've liked better than the original. Jungle Book was ok. Beauty and the Beast was thoroughly meh. The others are so forgettable I can't even remember them right now.

the new lion king trailer looks like a pbs documentary.

I do a lot of Ben Petersons and haven't been blocked yet. My tips are;

1 - use the full scale. It's ok to rate someone as a 'no' for attractive (though my most common rating is 'somewhat'). If they're boozing it up with women in the picture wearing a confederate flag shirt I give them a flat 'no' for trustworthy. etc. Don't just give straight across 'somewhats' every time.

2 - use the preset comments frequently (I use them maybe every 2nd-3rd hit, or if something just stands out to me) - if someone looks kind of lackluster click the 'bland' button. If it's a weird half naked picture I click 'too much skin'. If they look like a creepy serial killer click 'intense'. Maybe 1% of the time I write an actual original comment - but I use the presets liberally.

3 - related to above, take a moment to look at /read through both tabs of preset comments and eventually it'll be super quick to choose an appropriate one because you have them memorized

good luck! I like these hits because they pay same day and you can definitely get at least a hundred per day (I get bored and don't leave the panda on all the time, but the most I did in one day was around 500)
I have actually said that someone looked a little American Psycho for my taste and it was not rejected.

I have never watched a cartoon as a kid and thought "wow i wish this wasn't a cartoon"
They want to make money off nostalgia and without having to come up with new ideas (not saying Disney doesn't have new ideas, their animation studios have been knocking it out of the park) but they can't just re-release the animated versions into theater because most people have them on dvd already, and no one would accept that they needed to update art which was already perfect. So we get this money grab

Oh man, I totally did. All. The. Time. Like, I wanted to own all the ACME stuff Wile E. Coyote had!

(I know this is different from the live action stuff you guys are discussing, but I did super wish some cartoons were not just animated!)

Is it weird that kind of want Disney to make live action everything now just to see how much it triggers you? lol

Live action Frozen, live action Mickey Mouse, live action Ducktales, all of it.

Frozen just made it to Broadway.. that's technically live action?
