"Lightyear" (Buzz Lightyear origin story)

Post by Zaune »



Apparently this is supposed to be what Buzz is merchandise for in-universe. I'm getting a bit of a Farscape vibe from it, which is... possibly a good sign?

Tim Allen isn't coming back, for better or worse, and has been replaced by Chris Evans. (The American one.)
There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.

Replace "ginger" with "n*gger," and suddenly it become a lot less funny, doesn't it?

I'll be honest, 98.6% of what I got from this trailer is a reminder that yes, David Bowie really was that good.

Someone explained it as the difference between “Bayformers” and Saturday morning cartoon transformers… saying the new movie is the “Real” blockbuster movie that started buzz light year… but the toy in the movie is based off the cartoon show we all watched.

It's kind of like was with Ghostbusters, most toys were based on the animated series (called "The Real Ghostbusters" as there was another unrelated animated series called "Ghostbusters") and not the 1984 movie that started the Franchise. The same could be true here (in universe obviously) where there was the movie on which the animated series was (loosely) based on and the toys were based then on the animated series.
