How the Frozen 2 Documentary Shows Us More Disney Drama Than We’re Used To

Nothing bad ever happens at Disney. Or, at least, that’s the message the family-friendly company leads people to believe.

The Adventure Zone Creators on Adapting the Series’ Most Controversial Storyline

The Adventure Zone podcast is great at mixing the silly and sincere, but it’s occasionally misfired, most notably in “Petals to the Metal,” a storyline from the Balance Arc that was criticized for stumbling into the “Bury Your Gays” trope. Speaking to io9, the creators of The Adventure Zone comic got honest about the challenges…
