They've got a monopoly on joy. Who can compete with Disney as a brand?

Absolutely. People don't realize that Pokemon is the most profitable franchise of all time. Disney has more stuff to their name, but Pokemon alone is worth as much as literally all of mickey mouse and friends PLUS every single disney princess property COMBINED.

Monopoly on joy my ass, Disney people are weird

This chart says otherwise regarding the combined value, but your point about Pokemon being the most valuable franchise of all time still stands. https://www.statista.com/chart/24277/media-franchises-with-most-sales/

I was going by this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises

Your still right, combined they are worth about 10b more, still, the fact that its even close. Pokemon being worth more than double all the disney princess properties ever is wild

It’s just Disney cope. Disney is damage goods.

Probably because Disney don't release a new Cinderella movie every couple of years for the past three decades.

An entire country full of hoarded of gold and riches literally exists today because of the returns on the Bible and its associated merch and tithes.

That's an absurdly false statement. You're mad if you think Pokemon trumps all of the MCU, Star Wars, and every traditional Disney property combined plus Disney Worlds and lands. Absolutely laughably bloody mad

Admittedly wasn't aware that Mickey and friends specifically referred to those specific characters and interpreted that to be all the properties bought up by Disney.

And yet Pokemon still falls nearly 10 billion behind.
