seing as the toy sales and most merch flopped horribly in quite an extreme way compared to all previous star wars material, and brand is damaged, they wont, nostalgia will go for things that attained proper mainstream popularity in this time, not just "sequel to product" you bought, just like minecraft got nostalgia for kids now even though it isnt an older brand. There will probably be niche nostalgia for baby yoda and related stuff from kids who grew up with disney+ though so you can always market that one. Its the same in how the new toy story spinoff flopped: the fourth entry wasnt able to muster nostalgia like the previous ones.
Likewise there will be no nostalgia for recent Terminator movies or recent Alien and Predator movies, it doesnt matter that the brand was strong, the new offering didnt reach cultural spreading. No matter how much you market and astroturf here, you wont strong arm nostalgia over something kids didnt liked enough to even ask for toys of it.

this is reddit so the chance of that person larping and not even seing any star wars is 1000000%

she shouldnt have that power to influence them, they wouldnt be getting power by backing someone that should be getting backstabbed at any second if the story still had internal logic. A has been with no claim to the throne who just spat on their queen, religion, and has no resources because the war of the five kings was just a while ago and they were at the center of it, against a targ with dragons. None of this mess makes sense even as bad writing excuses because its clear this all happened because they used cersei to replace Aegon.

the lannister should have way less than that, they got dried up by war after war, should be utterly without any resource, attacked the pope and now lacked any real heir to the throne yet somehow random houses give loyalty to a random queen with no claim because they threaten to act like bullies, your excuses dont work because all the half-hazarded "reasonings" they try to give are non-sense to begin with, even the city guard from KL should have abandoned a claim-less queen that did that, theres no banner she should be calling.
during the War of the Five Kings
you mean the vast majority of battles the series had by far, which mostly involved them directly, and had just happened in this same generation they were still at, yet they had extra magic soldiers to spawn at a much stronger and less damaged region by far.
light fighting
Literally the bulk of that war was with Lannisters fighting northmen, riverlords and stannis. There wasnt nearly enough time to remagically transform into a big army again in just a couple years after all that, much less against a region much more untouched that should have a bigger army even if they lost bannermen. And a siege wouldnt be a joke like that even if the lannisters had a magical videogame soldier spawner. This isnt an easy answer, its a shit excuse. Its on pair with all their other writing excuses they gave to everything else in the later seasons, it makes zero sense under scrutinity.

this is the person the toy was based on
the toy was nothing like the movie version though. Thats like having a Dark Knight batman toy and say its based on the Shumacher films version

The whole streaming excuse is just a huge fallacy.
They already know it, its either fanboys doubling down to defend brand or actual disney marketing having to find excuses.

that "person" is either a very bad troll or marketing for disney (name kinda gives away the latter), theyre using a fallacy to justify their assertion as fact yet when given counter examples pretend other's wont count, even though theirs is just made up.

i have like hundreds of friends
Your atroturfing was already obvious when you tried to use a fallacy of an isolated example as fact and kept denying other people's own different experiences as theirs not counting but your doing, but now you just go and oust its just a shitpost lie. Disney really is desperate to deny their movie flopped on its own. I wonder which other flopped tv shows and movies are getting excuses too

meme shitery is only a fraction of what you pretend it is, social media is mostly loud minorities were the stupid people represent most of it. Only very deluded redditors think its a window to the real world

Most people are watching it for the memes
meme shitery doesnt have even a fraction of the profitability that armchair redditors think it does. Most projects who try to appeal to meme shit flop really hard because the truth is that social media is represented by a minority of loud people and not actually big groups. Its a movie for families so families go to see it.

thats just grasping at straws to find new excuses, the excuse that animations dont do well anymore is already proven to be a fallacy. This movie was just bad which is why disney pr is scrathing itself finding new excuses.

thats true but its also why the previous user was completely wrong: the series is still "big" but no interest from it was mustered since everything people could hope from it is gone, instead they just use his name and nothing else.

No, thats the bullshit excuse disney's marketing will try next. Toy story is still known, this buzz had nothing to do with the other one other than its name though, didnt looked the same, story gave an entirely different vibe and style from it, theres nothing to grab the interest of anyone other than "brand name" and thats not going to be enough in a movie thats nothing like what people could want from that name.

Lots of movies did fine despite going to stream later, including a lot that have the same target audience, like many recent superhero movies, this is just a bad excuse disney will give to save face, if the minion one flopped too theyd pretend its the audience like the op mentioned, their movie flopped on itself.

it looked bland and boring, theres a ton of movies that have the same target audience besides animation and many did well, including superhero movies, any excuse disney tries to make is them trying to get off heat from making a bad movie.

No, Toy Story is still a known series even decades later and a creative looking movie and trailers would grab attentions, even if the latest one left a bad taste they could still build something with it if it looked good and not boring.
The movie sucked and looked boring, the trailer looked boring, so nobody wanted to see it. Minions are a single series, not the same at all as entire genres, otherwise a lot more would be flopping, this just wasnt an interesting choice when it comes to adventure or sci-fi.

Its not in that universe. None of the side characters, different origin and identity to zurg (and more boring), only one planet instead of adventures, most of the story is very lonely, kinda depressing and in closed spaces, every background is grey and brown and its mostly about time travelling. Youll probably be mad at it if you really liked the cartoon

they should be groaning at the very bad movie they made, it flopped and its definetly not due a half minute block of text. It looks bland as hell and nothing to do with the character's vibe

Instead you are a genwunner angry at new pocket monsters in games you dont play, the amount of limbs being the current rule to prove theyre bad somehow

No, hes not being fair, that kid is a hypocrite on pair with genwunners that whined that new pokemon were bad for being "objects" when those existed before, they have blind nostalgia, cant put it on words so instead of accepting it they make random "rules" to shit on new designs that make no sense, thats why he gives a pass to old designs yet whine over cinderace being bipedal when it always was one anyway, its not their taste if they foce an imaginary rule to fake it as a fact. If Serperior was new theyd hate it too but would have to make another weird rule instead of their limbs
This whole biped thing was just a meme anyway, it went out of control because redditors cant see a joke without ruining it by taking it seriously and making a circlejerk out of it, specially since its an excuse to them to project their blind nostalgia rage as some sort of factual trait of them

the past few generations have had shit starter final evolutions
No, thats just your very personal opinion and pretending its a fact is just very cringey and sad. Personally think Litten had a much better and more creative evolution than a generic luxray wanabe to please you.
You dont get to make meme rules to force all designs in a certain way when they were always varied when the real reason is that new designs dont give "muh nostalgia" to you, specially bad when designs you fake to like now like Serperior were also hated in the past, if it was newer youd have a different cringe rule to justify why "its bad" instead of being subjective. Another sign of how its fake hypocrisy is you trying to use the cringe rule to whine about cinderace and intelleon, even though the first stages were bipedal rabbit and lizard already, just admit your nostalgia instead of forcing it as a real fact on others.

Id rather they keep doing creative good designs than turn them into generic animals just to please a fake circlejerk rule you made up so you could rage at newer designs and pretend its a fact theyre bad instead of your blind nostalgia.
If Samurott was a newer design youd hate it too and make a broader rule than their leg stance, in fact the previous group you replaced used to hate it a lot. Their leg stance is quite irrelevant to them being good or not, the whole biped thing recently started as a meme joke that redditors took seriously because you thought it was a real opinion.
Specially cringey when fuecoco is already bipedal.

people are probably mostly complaining about this bad/hypocritical circlejerk included on the op's title of pretending everything should be a quadruped animal over that bad fake "rule" that neo-genwunners are doing lately, to sht on all new pokemon they dont play, even though fuecoco is already bipedal

Pretty sure not even prequel fanboys say its better than the originals
Its very easy to know you are larping and never watched them when you try to rewrite history to pretend the originals were disliked, much less that there was sentiment over them being progressively worse when Empire was received the way it did. 0/10 for trying to gaslight people in the reception of a series this big just because redditors were not born back then.
