Thread 149961532

So why did he leave the company to Ratchet and seclude himself in his workshop?

>>149961532 (OP)
Because he was raping little robot boys in secret at his estate

>Son, let me give you a good piece of advice
>Yes?
>Give up
>What? You're telling me to quit?
>I said "give up," but "quit" works just as good
>Is that what you did? Is that why you're sitting here letting Ratchet turn robots like my father into outmodes?
>Kid, sometimes you just gotta know when you're licked
>But you're Bigweld. You can fix anything
>I used to think so. To me, having the company was all about making life better. With Ratchet, it was making money that came first. I became old-fashioned. An outmode. Go home, kid. If he beat me, he's gonna beat you

Pretty weak explanation

This movie's message of
>NEW CORPO BAD
>But old corpo actually good??
Was very weird.

>>149961731
It was a metaphor for what was going on at Disney. Ratchet is Michael Eisner, Bigweld is the Disney family, Rodney is John Lasseter

>>149961532 (OP)
I don't know, I only remember the videogame

>>149961731
I think it's more about a passionate visionary establishing a financially successful company that later gets hollowed out and taken over by soulless suits

>>149961776
It's very hard for me to imagine Bigweld didn't step on just as many if not more toes than Ratchet did when that entire industrial utopia was his doing in the first place.

>You really think I'm gonna let you in. But I'm not. Sorry, kid, nobody gets in. Company rules
>Company ru...? Well, then how do they hire new inventors?
>They don't. Those days are over. My advice: Come back two years ago. Then the job is yours

What was Tim's problem?

>>149961745
>Rodney is John Lasseter
That didn't age well

>>149961851
Hey stan. As per usual, Rodney's reality is pretty much shattered when he thinks Tim would act like he would on the show. But it's shown that Tim is an asshole. Very common

>>149962174
>lasseter got cancelled for simply hugging women
>FOR HUGGING PEOPLE
This shit is why im glad when i hear about women getting raped more

>>149962221
He was an alcoholic control freak that drove out people like Glen Keane and Chris Sanders. The hugging was just a convenient excuse to get rid of him.

>>149961532 (OP)
It was literally not explained

Critics aren't very fond of Shark Tale and Robots

>>149962363
>alcoholic
Didnt know john was a fan of the sauce
>The hugging was just a convenient excuse to get rid of him.
You mean like how [AS] used that bogus charge that was thrown out of court to remove justin roiland?

>>149962628
What movie is he referring too in that review?

I don't care I just want aunt fanny to fart on me

>>149962659
Madagascar

Sure it’s rarely that simple IRL but I appreciate Robots acknowledging that to serve a need at scale, you need investment, research, and production/distribution at scale. For all of Rodney’s skill and altruistic heart, he can’t pull the components people need out of thin air so the company is necessary, moral drive corrections notwithstanding

>>149961731
Capitalism isn't evil just because some people use it for evil.

>>149962628
odd. I can understand it with shark tale, which looks very unappealing visually so i never seen it (and which came off as riding the coattails of finding nemo), but to me as a kid, Robots was the well remembered movie I watched several times over. meanwhile madagascar I saw once and didnt need it again, nor the sequels. the penguin show was good however.

>>149961751
A Robots video game sounds like it'd be awesome, I always thought Blue Sky did a great job building a world you'd want to explore so I hope the game made good use of that

>>149961776
Bigweld is a man of the people.

>>149961683
>>I used to think so. To me, having the company was all about making life better. With Ratchet, it was making money that came first.
I...it's your fucking company. Fire the cunt if you don't like him.

>>149965264
People have been forced out of their own companies plenty of times.

>>149965298
How does that happen? Do they give up a controlling interest or something?

>>149965264
He could have become so politically powerful within the company or with the board that firing him wasn't an option

>>149965298
He wasn't though. He was literally still there.

Who even was Ratchet before taking over the company? All we are told about him is that he is Madame Gasket' son.

>>149961751
I remember having to buy a Gamecube memory card just for this game, only game i ever owned that didn't fit my saves on what i already owned, weird coincidence that will forever live in my brain.

>Robots has a 64% on Rotten Tomatoes, while Madagascar has a 55%

That's bullshit. Madagascar is the better 2005 movie.

>>149961683
>letting Ratchet turn robots like my father into outmodes?
lol
>Churn out a shitton of obscure designs instead of anything standardized
>Shit bricks when standardized models are replacing everything else
Better question - why does Bigweld hate efficiency so much?

>>149965447
Just that, I assume
Child of a business acquaintance being given a job, excelling at the business side of the business and growing to have the influence to neg Bigweld and have him believe it

>>149964706
It was a great game. It was basically Ratchet and Clank in every single way including the functionality of Bolts.

>>149962654
The court case never mattered, what mattered were the shitloads of conversation logs about him being a deranged pedo freak that came out after

>>149965558
It wasn't about standardized models at all and it is established in the movie that robots are basically infinitely repairable and can swap parts with even the new stuff regardless of the design variety.

The problem was that these new standardized parts that should be theoretically cheaper because of the more efficient production were ridiculously price gouged and replaced all the old cheaper options, pricing people out of life - literally because they had kidnapping street sweeper robots that swept up the poor and smelted them into these new parts. If anything, it is an allegory for the housing market or gentrification.

>>149961532 (OP)
Bigweld needs to hit the robot gym

>>149961731
It's based for telling it like it is. The youth needs to learn that sooner or later.

Fuck Bigweld
All my homies hate Bigweld

He had a meltdown and he was an artist.

There is a reason why Autist and Artist rhyme
