Those are all things that were blindingly obvious about the movie back then too, none of that is about it “aging poorly.”

All the sneaking around on each other was supposed to feel icky and inappropriate, which is why by the end they are living openly and authentically with each other.

I am glad that over the years your perspective has made you more aware of that parts that were icky that you missed the first time, though!

Presumably they know they’re not gonna end up as one of the top 3 that will survive.

If immersion is what you’re looking for, I would assume you really just want better 3D.

They’ll only watch the life-sized 3D VR movies at that point. The old tiny-screen flat-format stories will be in museums with their predecessors, the paintings.

Agreed! Growing up that movie was mind-blowing. The visual effects work in movies nowadays would’ve completely melted my sense of reality back then, in the best way!

Jason and the Argonauts is there anytime you want to see what that looks like!

It would generally get laughed at by the internet, probably.

Maybe just not your kind of movie/show?

Depends which path you’re talking about and why you think it’s “twisted”? Plenty of perfectly happy Disney fans out there; keep getting very popular movies and TV shows, the parks have continued building popular new attractions, etc.
