There's a treasure, and the characters onscreen want to find it, often at the expense of their fellow man. That aside, most of Treasure Island is uncomplicated, unfettered, unpretentious entertainment.

But what, Livesey and Trelawney wonder, will Jim's mother think? Will they be able to take the boy on their trip? Should they ask? Why does it matter, seeing as she's never onscreen? Joined by local elders Squire Trelawney and Doctor Livesey, Jim decides to go on an adventure unlike anything he's ever experienced. What he leaves behind, though, is a map to massive amounts of treasure. The plan doesn't work for long, as Bones dies the very night he receives the black spot. Jim tries to shield one of the inn's residents, Billy Bones, from some nefarious characters including one who gives him an ominous black spot foretelling his doom. We meet our lead, Jim Hawkins, a young boy who runs an inn with his aforementioned mother. Still, I was struck by the gender imbalance during the opening section. Seeing as most of the film takes place on a large ship as its male denizens hunt for buried treasure, this isn't much of a shock. Though we get a mention of a female character-the lead character's mother-we never meet her, and no other women have dialogue, let alone important roles. I just don't know what it is.īased on the classic tale by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island is a boy's adventure through and through. So there is-I hope-some complex idea behind the first fully live-action film from Walt Disney Productions, 1950's Treasure Island. No, this means that while Walt Disney was able to tap into the inner recesses of people's psyches for maximum effect, something that may seem simple, he rarely created something that didn't have some complex thought placed behind it.

This isn't to say that some attractions at the various Disney theme parks aren't simple in their design or their impact, or that some classic Disney movies don't have simple story structures or character development. Disney and the concept of simplicity don't go together, either. Katanas, Swords, Guns and Laser Swords etc.Walt Disney and the word "simple" don't go together.

Earth-616's Deadpool and the remaining Deadpools fought a group of the Evil Deadpool Corps led by Evil Deadpool, who revealed their appearance as a suicide mission, as they had brought with themselves Galactipool. They managed to warn Deadpool and tried to bring him with the rest of the resistance in an alternate universe, but for their surprise, they were found and killed. The Deadpool Corps joined forces once more after Dreadpool formed an evil version of the Corps and started a multiversal massacre with the objective of killing every alternate version of himself. With help from the Broken Blade, the Corps annihilated the entity who turns out to be a little alien that was the lone survivor of his species after the Big Bang. Fortunately, the Corps proved their worth by tricking the Champion into becoming two-times stranded on a planet. The Deadpool Corps came into conflict with the Champion, who and along with the Grandmaster did not see them as worthy heroes and decided to test them. In truth, the Deadpool Corps's real power to stop the entity is their unique mind that ultimately made them absolutely immune to the entity. The Corps was founded by Earth-616's Deadpool after he was chosen by the Contemplator in stopping a cosmic entity known as the Awareness that devours the Multiverse's consciousness. The Deadpool Corps is a team of Deadpools from alternate universes.
