The Mighty Ducks Sham


So years ago a classic movie came out called The Mighty Ducks. This movie was so big that Disney bought a real NHL team and named them the Mighty Ducks. Anyways, the movie starred Emilio Estavez as a rich white collar worker who is busted for drunk driving and has to do community service. He volunteers to be a kid's hockey coach for a bunch of little kids who suck at hockey and life. He has to face his inner demons, crappy past, and change these little fuckers into champions. He does. Sweet.


A couple of years after that the second movie came out and he is named the coach of the U.S. hockey team for the Junior Goodwill Games. He brings along his team and adds a few more crazy kids that have special skills to help them win. He gets all corporate, loses focus of the team, and they all begin to hate him. He finds himself and gets them winning and by the end they are the best team in the world. Fantastic.


The third movie came out a few years after that and the whole premise is that they all were accepted into a private school as the j.v. hockey team and they have to beat varsity. WHAT???? How do you go from the best team in the world to compete against varsity? This movie is as much a disgrace as The Next Karate Kid.


I really don't have much else to say about this. I think the posting speaks for itself. Good job Disney, you really know how to fuck things up.
