just so we're clear
@nixanadoo @mayintoronto How can it be a spectrum when both endpoints are “kickass”?

@nixanadoo

@toolivedrew i have no credit here, I do not know who made it originally.
@nixanadoo Where's godzilla at on the spectrum?

@nixanadoo @benroyce
Bwahahahahahahaha!

And the Xenomorph Queen is a Disney Princess

@MedeaVanamonde @nixanadoo

you are correct

when disney purchased 20th century fox, they purchased the "alien" franchise

thus it is accurate in terms of intellectual property to qualify the alien xenomorph queen as a disney princess

@benroyce @MedeaVanamonde @nixanadoo Wait ‘Alien’ is owned by Disney? *long sigh*

@farah @MedeaVanamonde @nixanadoo

that, and the current fight over who gets to buy warner brothers, points to consolidation to a monopoly in hollywood

plutocracy kills everything

@benroyce @MedeaVanamonde @nixanadoo Am I missing it, or is Leia not in there?

@ewhac @MedeaVanamonde @nixanadoo

they could include all sorts of characters from other franchises now owned by disney as disney princesses, yes

the alien queen just happens to be the funniest

@benroyce @ewhac @MedeaVanamonde @nixanadoo
Dr. Frank-N-Furter would like a word about this Princess Thing.

They want ... in.

@RyeNCode @ewhac @MedeaVanamonde @nixanadoo

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" was made by 20th Century Fox

20th Century Fox was purchased by Disney

so you are spot on:

as far as intellectual property is concerned, Dr. Frank-N-Furter is now a Disney Princess

😁

@benroyce @ewhac @MedeaVanamonde @nixanadoo oh... I know 😏
Wife likes to point out Dr. F is a Disney Princess when I mention that Ripley and the Queen are. As though that's some kind of disincentive.
Hello, Dr. F throws the best parties!
@benroyce @MedeaVanamonde @nixanadoo I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The xenomorph queen is a queen, not a princess. Which is to say that the overwhelming majority of Disney princesses are her xenomorph brood. 😉
@MedeaVanamonde @nixanadoo @benroyce Well, no, she’s a queen. The Aliens as her daughters are the princesses.
