Look if we want a spookier Mickey, just check out the "Runaway Brain" short or Epic Mickey. Both are neat pieces of official Disney history despite how much they're trying to forget about them.
I will admit ‘abandoned by god’ actually works way better than the typical ‘I am god’ trope, since the line is meant to emphasize just how dead and rotten the place is with no positive aspects of it, the embodiment of an abandoned hell hole, instead of trying to scare the reader through making the villain over powered, it helps to emphasize just how depraved this place is even after being shut down, still I think it is a cliche line even with how much it hits, I think ‘abandoned by hope’ or ‘abandoned by scum’ would’ve emphasized it more even if they are too simple
Not to mention they probably aren't referring to the literal Christian God. "God" in the case of ABD most likely refers to the corporate heads, the people in charge who weren't actively working among the mascots or the workers who were actually IN the parks. Mowgli's Palace was abandoned by the people in charge because it would be a stain on the park's reputation, their workers abandoned to their own suffering, corpses abandoned to rot in secrecy. Abandoned by the people who should have taken better care of their workers and promoted safer, healthier working conditions, who instead chose to cover them up and pretend they didn't exist anymore. Abandoned by the people in charge, who didn't work and suffer as they did. Add in the fact that this message is almost the same as the title of the story, with the word "God" swapped out for "Disney". Abandoned by the company, by the people who should have protected them, who should have helped them... But chose not to, in order to protect the reputation and fortunes they valued so much more than human lives and well-being.
@@amethysteshroud6082 Maybe in the first one?..but later on it turns more into supernatural (with all the horrors being weird horrible versions of people's imaginations or smth) and it probably does mean literal god near the end, sort of a punishment for worshiping false gods situation..they worship these characters so much they come to life in twisted forms
Lmao the Steam Boat Killie barging in was goofy 💀 But yeah I agree with everything here, really is lazy to just, rehash the horror stuff over and over again.
A "steamboat willie but evil and fucked up" I'd actually reccommend is the short film "The Vanishing of the S.S. Willie", mainly for the unnerving art style, that being kinda like stop motion mixed with photoshop if that makes sense. It takes an element from the og cartoon (mickey + minnie using the animals as instruments) and puts a body horror twist on it. If anyone reading this has about 7-8 minutes to spare it's definately worth a watch
3:48 As somebody who's been in the FNF community since it's early days, FNF modding has had a weird obsession with creepypasta being built up slowly but surely by mods like Vs Sonic.exe in mid 2021 and while there wasn't really that much horror/creepypasta mods at that time apart from 2 exceptions like the starecrown and corruption mod it ended up exploding REAL HARD and turning into a subsection of the FNF community around the end of 2021 and it's still going on today with mods like mario's madness V2 releasing recently, i'd attribute that to 3 mods, Funkin Lullaby by Banbuds(known figure in the fandom for making the tricky mod), SNS(Mouse.avi mod) and last but not least Vs Sonic.exe V2(the update was pretty good quality for the time that it got the mod to a fan favorite status in the fandom), overall it seemed like a combination of both FNF's young audience being unsurprisingly attracted to the "Pre-existing character but now fucked up" type of horror along with the mods i mentioned earlier and their timing of release(sorry if this got too long XD)
Yzma has a villain song!! Look up 'Snuff out the Light'; Eartha Kitt NAILS it and I love it so much!! It's from an earlier draft of the movie so the backstories are a little different, but who cares! It's amazing!!
As odd as is it to see Friday Night Funkin' mods breathe new life into Creepypastas, it is hard to ignore the amount of dedication those mods get. Genuinely, I think they are some of the more creative takes on FNF that usually have high production value and pretty great music. Which makes is a crying shame that is seems like 85% of the time those projects tend to fall apart at the finish line because team leaders turn out to be sex pests and PDF-files. Whenever the inevitable Steam Boat Willie mod comes out, let's hope it don't met that same fate.
Since its very early on the mouse's journey on the public doman a lot of the bad or lazy will appear, but time will eventually make some cool things. There is games putting mickey as a playable character on their games, someone is making a sailing simulator game, of course the horror stuff maybe gets better over the time.
Bugs Bunny goes Public domain in 2036. If they do make an inevitable horror film, it should act as a meta-commentary on the already-tired trend of taking a kid's IP getting turned into something horrific after becoming free of copyright.
Yeah, I do feel like a Steamboat Willie horror stuff can work if done correctly. For example, the video of S.S. Willie being a good example! That said, I am looking forward to Infestation Origins the most, because the other two horrors...one hasn't been shown much, and the other is just a cheaper Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.
I think the reason fnf attracts soany creepypasta fans is because the game itself is pretty easy to mod, as well the game being pretty open to oc's. That encouraged people to make their own creepypasta oc's, let them gain popularity through the mod, and then further develop them elsewhere.
While I have seen some good horror versions of Mickey, I do wish there would be more creative takes on Mickey now that he's in the public domain. Like, for example, make a version of Mickey that encounters older interpretations of the various myths and fairytales Disney reinterpreted.
I like the interpretation that the yellow stuff IS blood, just blood that lacks iron..blood is only red due to the iron in it, remove the iron and it's just yellow. It's a unique thing and I dislike the idea of it being vomit
Infestation could've easily been its own thing with its own rat monster & just make the Steamboat Willie character a free skin DLC for the monster & use that DLC for promo purposes.
The scariest Mickey mouse thing will always be the mad doctor (even though it isn't scary at all in my opinion but i like the mad doctor and suicide mouse)
I would like to give a correction to FNaTI's story, the Treasure Island mentioned in Corruptus is not the same one that FNaTI (or at least the versions by Radiance) take place on. FNaTI takes place on Discovery Island which prior to being named that was also called Treasure Island.
Funny enough around the time this video got uploaded, there's now a Oswald Horror flick announced because people remembered Oswald is also in the public domain
turns out disney doing what they did made a lot of poeple pissed off at them which is just asking for poeple to use mickey as much as they can when he goes public
If there's anything I'm looking forward to in this whole Steamboat Willie power grab, it's Unknowingly's VHS video where Mickey isn't the monster, but the victim. That's something that I wanna see, especially after my first exposure to Abandoned By Disney.
I guess its weird to say here but its more of a chance of you seeing but in the weird Birds part 2 but that wasnt a trex but instead a tyrannosaur called lythronax or a carnosaur if it were a rex it would be massive about the size of 2 floor building not a 1 floor one And also that dinosaur from Michigan was a cryolophosaurus
i think the only good piece of horror media related to steamboat willie is the vanishing of ss willie, it's genuinely really unnerving and i feel you should check it out. good video
Any other Epic Mickey fans catch the music in the background of this video? When I heard it I literally jumped out of my seat, the soundtrack is so iconic!
"Hey guys we're gonna make something that's child-friendly and make it scary because we think it looked creepy or whatever." Edit: I fear being around when Thomas the Tank Engine is public domain, companies wanting a quick buck are going to be cheap and make horror IPs, which sucks because Thomas fans actually make quality stuff that could be on par (if not better in some cases) with the show at times.
none of the problems with Disney characters are what they appear to be on the surface. we always assume that things going into the public domain will be a good thing, but what really happens is they pass from one huge, consolidated, highly-controlled territory to a bunch of small territories operating independently of each other. with none of them talking to each other and deciding which one should do what, but the same shared interests in all of their minds, it's basically inevitable they will just spontaneously reinvent the same thing 50 or so times. imagine that 50 people all like dogs but have never talked to each other. if they all draw a dog, it will sometimes be the exact same dog. this is a dismaying thing to find out 100 years after we first assumed copyright and the public domain made sense - that, actually, there almost _never is_ any such thing as the public domain, and what always exists is various groups of people claiming pieces of society in order to earn money, where as soon as one arrangement is forced to give up the torch a different arrangement snatches it up. this is not the result of "greed" and "vultures". this is better termed "Artisanization", or simply "capitalism". capitalism is often explained to people as a system containing class antagonisms between workers and owners, but in reality it is much more complex. it is also characterized by chunks of workers competing with each other horizontally to exclusively capture a particular area of human activity away from the whole surrounding world or else have no income (Artisanization), and an instability of all businesses and jobs where they constantly fight to remain open by enclosing new customers into their particular Artisanized territory before they lose all their existing customers. all jobs and incomes currently depend on people madly trying to gather up subjects into tiny kingdoms without having any idea who would actually want to be part of them and wildly rolling the dice (Blobonomics / the so-called "free market" of all human social connections). it's very medieval. trying to resist it by telling people to just have more creativity and passion is basically like asking an assortment of feudal nobility to go invent a Liberal-democratic nation-state because you're tired of the same earldoms over and over again. this has been my daily argument for Bolshevism. unless we create a connected society not composed of unaffiliated competing islands we will get the same things unimaginatively repeated again and again and again and again all requesting money for the privilege if and when they are allowed to.
On the topic of the 14/88 thing, its the first time I'm hearing about it being related to Nazism and I study WWII often. I haven't gotten around to reading some old books on my bookshelf about the different branches of WWII-era Germany yet though so there's likely something about it in one of them. That or its a neo-Nazi thing, which would definitely explain why I haven't heard about it since my knowledge on that front is heavily lacking
The thing I hate about shit like this, its always the most generic crap, like for real, take some other culture and religion instead of the same christian/Judaism and go full offensive, take the greeks, romans, Native Americans, go nuts, no its the same shit every time.
@rainbowdash3419 because people could actually be creative, but when it comes to the public domain, low hanging fruit all the time. Why what did you think I was talking about.
